The 2019 Grammys seemed to be focused on sending one deliberate message from the moment this year’s show began – that they’re finally embracing diversity. The awards opened with a tribute to the Latin beat taking over the country, Camila Cabello sang “Havana” with some help from J Balvin, Ricky Martin, & Cuban jazz trumpet player Arturo Sandoval.

The opening performance rolled right into Host Alicia Keys’ monologue, and she brought out a few friends to help. Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez and former First Lady Michelle Obama to speak about the ways they had overcome obstacles. Alicia wrapped up that set with a call & response to the audience - “Who run the world?” The answer, at least last night – girls.

In stark contrast from last year’s awards, plenty of female artists took home Grammys: Dua Lipa, St. Vincent, Ariana Grande, Kacey Musgraves, and more. We also saw some record breaking wins from Cardi B – she became the first female rapper to take home Rap Album of The Year as a solo act - and Childish Gambino, who made history by taking home Record of The Year & Song of The Year for “This Is America”. This is the first time a hip hop song has received either of those honors.
