Who opened the Grammys 2023?

WASHINGTON – Bad Bunny opened Sunday’s Grammy Awards in Los Angeles with an energetic, festive performance that drew a wide audience, including Taylor Swift, who got up and danced. near her desk.

Trevor Noah opened a stand-up ceremony outside the Crypto.Com Arena, welcoming the return of the show to its Los Angeles home for the first time since 2020.

“The best city in the world if you ignore a few other cities,” says Noah.

He then introduces the opening performance of Bad Bunny, who begins alone on the podium before the aisles are filled with dancers, some in multicolored dresses, some in giant masks.

While introducing him, Noah called Bad Bunny a “global force”.

After the performance, Noah – returning for the third year in a row – opened a monologue between the audience.

“Every year, I find that I develop a different relationship with the people in the room,” he told Jonathan Landrum Jr. by the AP last week. “That opens you up to a few more jokes and a few other conversations in such a way that people get a sense of the context of who you are in relation to them. That means you can have a little fun without anyone feeling like you’re bringing them down.”

The Puerto Rican singer, the world’s most streamed and listened to artist in the world, could make history at the Grammys.

If Bad Bunny wins Album of the Year for “Un Verano Sin Ti,” it will be the first time a Spanish-language album has won the top honor.
