The 2024 Grammys saw moments filled with tears, laughter, surprises and more during Sunday’s awards ceremony. From Taylor Swift making history with her win for album of the year to Jay-Z criticizing the Recording Academy and Miley Cyrus finally winning her first Grammy, here are some of the most memorable moments from music’s biggest night.
Taylor Swift Wins Big and Announces New Album
Taylor Swift‘s night at the 2024 Grammys proved to be memorable as the singer not only made history but also dropped a surprise announcement. For this year’s Grammys, Swift was nominated for six awards, including for best pop vocal album for Midnights, best pop solo performance for “Anti-Hero” and best pop duo/group performance for “Karma” with Ice Spice, who received a best new artist nom.

Miley Cyrus took home one of the night’s top prizes, record of the year, at the 2024 Grammys for “Flowers,” presented by Meryl Streep and her son-in-law, Mark Ronson.
Streep kicked off the presentation by saying they would be presenting the best album of the year, because a record is an album. Then Ronson explained that is not what the award is. It actually recognizes everything that goes into making a song, including artists, producers, recording engineers, mixers and mastering engineers.
“Flowers” producers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson; engineers/mixers Michael Pollack, Brian Rajaratnam and Mark “Spike” Stent; and mastering engineer Joe Laporta were also recognized for the award.
“Thank you all so much,” Cyrus began her acceptance speech. “This award is amazing, but I really hope that it doesn’t change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular.

Billie Eilish and her brother and principal collaborator Finneas O’Connell won the award for song of the year at the 2024 Grammys, for “What Was I Made For?” from the Barbie soundtrack.

Eilish said she was sure there was “not a chance” they would win. “I just want to say, everybody in this category — like that was a crazy list of incredible people! Incredible artists. Crazy right now,” she added, referring to her fellow nominees, including Sza, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus.
She went on to thank members of the Recording Academy and O’Connell who she called her “best friend in the world and makes me the person that I am today.”

This year the Grammys moved the Songwriter of the Year and Producer of the Year, Non-Classical categories into the general field. The way voting works, academy members are only allowed to vote in three fields besides general, and can only vote in 10 categories between those three fields. Songwriter of the Year was its own field when that award was introduced last year, and most members probably didn’t want to burn one of their three fields to vote for just one award. Now all voters can participate in these contests, hopefully generating a more representative list of who excelled behind the scenes. This year in particular has a diverse and exciting list of possible contenders in both categories, so let’s consider who might make the cut in the songwriting race.

You might think that Taylor Swift would dominate in this category, but she has just one win out of four nominations. It’s likely that voters think of Swift as so strong in the general fields that they don’t mark their ballot for her here. Miley Cyrus has a good shot, but her smash hit...

After years of turmoil, including drummer Travis Barker’s 2008 plane crash, singer-bassist Mark Hoppus’s successful battle with cancer, and the departure (and recent return) of singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge, Blink-182 takes what feels like a victory lap on One More Time… The first single, “Edging,” is a pop-punk stomper that, at least superficially, bears all of the Blink hallmarks. But the rest of the singles have been a mixed bag: The über-schmaltzy title track reflects on the group members’ friendship with rather prosaic lyrics—“Do I have to die to hear you miss me?”—while the fiery “More Than You Know” channels post-hardcore while also making reference to the tragedy that frequently surrounds the band.
This dynamic is indicative of the album as a whole: For every triumphant return to form, there’s an uninspired dud. On the opening “Anthem Part 3,” Blink-182’s renewed energy is immediately palpable. Two songs later,...

Los Angeles, May 22 (Ians) Singer Miley Cyrus said that performing in such large venues makes her uncomfortable and she would much rather perform in smaller, more intimate spaces for friends and family.
“It’s been a minute,” Cyrus said about touring to British Vogue, reports Variety.
“After the last (headline arena) show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t. Not only can’t, because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?”
Cyrus’ last arena show was the Bangerz Tour back in 2015. The tour lasted 78 shows and stopped at venues such as the O2 Arena in London and the Barclays Center in New York City.
Some fans thought Cyrus might be planning a new arena tour to support her eighth studio album “Endless Summer Vacation,...

Miley Cyrus‘ “Flowers” interpolates one of the most famous disco songs of all time. Initially, “Flowers” had a much more defeatist attitude. Subsequently, Cyrus and one of her co-writers decided to flip the script on the original lyrics.
Miley Cyrus | Arturo Holmes / Staff Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ has a lyrical cliffhanger
Cyrus co-wrote “Flowers” with Gregory Aldae Hein and Michael Pollack. During a 2023 interview with Billboard, Pollack contrasted “Flowers” with his other work. “Compared to other songs, the lyrics for ‘Flowers’ came relatively quickly,” he recalled. “The only line that gave us trouble was the end of the pre-chorus.”
Pollack referred to the lyric “I didn’t wanna leave you / I didn’t wanna lie.” “I think it was really important to contrast the empowerment of the chorus with a little bit of sadness and vulnerability, and that line ‘started to cry, but then remembered I’ does exactly that,” he added.

The ultimate heartbreak, according to 5 Seconds of Summer, doesn’t come from relationships that ultimately fail but rather ones that endure every high and low in the name of love. Written with and featuring frontman Luke Hemmings’ fiancée Sierra Deaton, the band’s recent single “Older” explores this concept of an unavoidable end in which one person will inevitably lose another. But in the newly released video for the tender piano ballad, they’re spared from having to say goodbye to anyone. Instead, they spend their final moments soaking in...

Singer-actress Demi Lovato has undergone yet another evolution for their eighth studio album, ‘Holy Fvck’, which was released on Friday. The Grammy-nominated artiste’s new record marks a stark shift in image and sound from their revelatory 2021 album “Dancing With the Devila The Art of Starting Over’, reports ‘Billboard’.
Led by the singles ‘Skin of My Teeth’, ‘Substance,’ and ’29,’ ‘Holy Fvck’ arrives approximately seven months after Demi first teased a ‘funeral’ for her pop music on Instagram.
While both ‘Skin’ and ‘Substance’ failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100, the songs made waves on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs Chart where they peaked at No. 13 and No. 37, respectively.
Released as a promotional single just two days before the album’s release, ’29’ quickly resonated with fans across the world with its careful articulation of grooming in relationships.

While both ‘Skin’ and ‘Substance’ failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100, the songs made waves on the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs Chart where they peaked at No. 13 and No. 37, respectively.
Released as a promotional single just two days before the album’s release, ’29’ quickly resonated with fans across the world with its careful articulation of grooming in relationships.

Ben Platt is back with a new single, “Imagine.” The mid-tempo pop track, which is both tender and confident, serves as a tribute to everyday saviors — the people who lift others up in times of darkness. Its just-released music video, on the other hand, is quite literally uplifting.
The Broadway-star-turned-solo-singer co-wrote the song with Jon Bellion, Michael Pollack, Alexander Izquierdo, Jordan K. Johnson, and Stefan Johnson. It was produced by Bellion and the Monsters and Strangerz, who’ve previously collaborated on hits like Maroon 5’s “Memories,” Justin Bieber’s “Holy,...

Our lives would suck without Kelly Clarkson. The pop singer known for her powerful pipes was introduced to us in the first season of “American Idol” on Fox in 2002, launching a career that spans the 21st century. She won that competition, but what are the best songs she has recorded since then? Scroll down to see how we rank her greatest hits. Do you agree with our pick for her number-one song of all time?
In the years since Clarkson’s “Idol” coronation, the show has been inconsistent in delivering artists with lasting music careers, though standouts like Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson have also stood the test of time. Clarkson was actually the first “Idol” alum to win a Grammy, claiming Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (“Since U Been Gone”) and Best Pop Album (“Breakaway”) in 2006. She also claimed Best Pop Album for “Stronger” in 2013. And that album’s...

Feature Adaptation Planned For Keary Taylor’s ‘Eden’; Described as ‘Hunger Games’ Meets ‘Terminator’
The success of Suzanne Collins’ young adult fantasy series The Hunger Games, as well as the highly anticipated March release of its film adaptation, has the industry clamoring to cash in on the newest teen pop culture obsession: strong-willed dystopian heroines.
It was announced this week that the independent production company Kerry, Kimmel and Pollack (Kk&P) purchased the film rights to the post-apocalyptic novel Eden by Keary Taylor. The story follows Eve (of course), a teenage girl struggling unravel the secrets of her past in a futuristic world where all but two percent of the human population was wiped out by killer robots. The similarities to Collins’s literary hit seem to end with the female protagonist, but that hasn’t stopped it from being marketed as a “cross between The Hunger Games and The Terminator.” [Variety]
As if it couldn’t be more primed to become the next teen sensation,...

Bestselling 'young adult' author Gregg Olsen has sold the movie rights to his novel series "Empty Coffin" to Kerry Kimmel & Pollack and Eric Thompson's Vigilante Entertainment.
