PEER VOTED TROPHIES IN MUSIC
GIVING SHIEBEE NEW GRAMMY AWARDS

LIVE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING BUT
WE HAVE TO DO IT QUICKLY BECAUSE



TOMORROW THIS TENT IS RESERVED
FOR AN OUTDOOR WEDDING IN MALIBU

AND I DO IN THE WANT TO LOSE MY
SECURITY DEPOSIT.

REST ASSURED EVERYONE HERE IS
FOLLOWING COVID-19 PROTOCOLS AND

GUIDE LINES, THIS WILL BE THE
AWARD SHOW WHERE THE WHITE STUFF

GOING UP PEOPLE'S NOSESES COTTON
SWABS.

THIS LOOKS DIFFERENT, THE WHOLE
THING IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT

BUT FOLKS WILL BE EVEN MORE
EXCITED BECAUSE OUR IMPRESSIVE

NOMINEES WILL BE SITTING AT
THOSE TABLES FOR THEIR AWARDS.

SO RIGHT NOW THERE IS MORE
TENSION IN THAT TENT THAN AT A

FAMILY REUNION AT BUCKINGHAM
PALACE.

AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO GO TO A CONCERT IN A

LONG TIME, NEITHER HAVE I.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE BRINGING THE
CONCERT TO YOU, AFTER EVERYONE

MAKES THEIR WAY DOWN THIS RED
CARPET THEY WILL HEAD INSIDE



THERE TO PERFORM FOR EACH OTHER
AND FOR YOU.

AND UNLIKE AN ACTUAL CONCERT,
TWO TEENAGERS ON STACKED ON TOP

WON'T BLOCK YOUR VIEW, THAT IS
WHAT TONIGHT IS ABOUT, IT IS

ABOUT BRINGING US TOGETHER AS
ONLY MUSIC CAN.

WELL, MUSIC AND VACCINES, WE
WILL CELEBRATE MUSIC AND

HOPEFULLY FORGET OUR PROBLEMS
UNLESS SOME OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE

BEING OBSESSED WITH HARRY STYLES
BECAUSE THAT WILL ONLY GET

WORSE, I CAN PROMISE YOU.

TONIGHT WE WILL ENJOY
PERFORMANCES FROM EVERYONE FROM

MEGAN THEE STALLION TO CARDI B,
BRUNO MARS, AN DERSON PAAK, TO

PAY LETTER SWIFT, WE WILL HEAR
MIRANDA LAMBERT, AND MAREN

MORRIS.

WE WILL PAY TRIBUTE TO SOME OF
THE MANY GREAT MUSICAL ARTISTS

THAT WE'VE LOST DURING THE LAST
YEAR INCLUDING LIL RICHARD AND

KENNY ROGERS AND JOHN PRINE,
WE'LL ALSO BRING YOU GLOBAL

SENSATIONS DUA LIPA, BAD BUNNY,
BTS AND POST MALONE PLUS

EXCITING PERFORMANCES BY DOJA
CAT, RODDY RICCH, BRANDI

CARLILE, JOHN MAYER, AND ON TOP
OF THAT WE WILL BE JINKED BY NOT

ONE BUT TWO OF THE BIGGEST AND
MOST BELOVED BABIES ON PLANET

EARTH, DABABY AND LITTLE BABY.

-- LIL BABY AND ALL OF THEM WILL
BE PERFORMING RIGHT HERE IN THIS

BEAUTIFUL ROOM.

(APPLAUSE)
TONIGHT WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS

IS ALL ABOUT WHAT 2021 CAN BE,
BEGINNINGS AND COMING TOGETHER.

NEVER FORGETTING WHAT HAPPENED
IN 2020 BUT FULL OF HOPE FOR

WHAT IS TO COME.

(LAUGHTER)
OUR RECORD OF THE YEAR NOMINEES

ARE AN ECLECTIC, DIVERSE AND
IMPRESSIVE GROUP.

AND WE ASKED THE REMARKABLE 23-
YEAR-OLD DIRECTOR GIBSON HAZARD

TO MAKE SOME FILMS ABOUT THESE
CONTENDERS FOR THE RECORD OF THE

YEAR.

SO, FIRST UP, HERE'S A REVEALING
LOOK AT THE TRUE "COLORS" OF

A STRONG MUSICAL PARTNERSHIP
THAT FLOWERED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS,

AFTER A LITTLE STREET PERFORMING
ON THE SANTA MONICA PIER.

THIS IS BLACK PUMAS.

(APPLAUSE)
♪ ♪ ♪

OUR MUSIC IS VERY REFLECTIVE
OF THE SINCERITY OF OUR OWN

SOULS, WE CALL IT SOUL MUSIC AND
OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT SOUL MUSIC

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS
IT COMES FROM OUR SOUL, MY SOUL

AND HIS SOUL.

GETTING THE NOMINATION FOR
"COLORS" IS SPECIAL, WE KNOW HOW

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REACTING TO
THAT SONG, WE HAVE SEEN IT LIVE,

WE HAVE EVEN SEEN IT U NIGHT
CROWDS, WE KNOW IT WAS SPECIAL.

I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA FROM
NEW MEXICO IN 20134.

I WOULD TAKE LIKE TWO TRAINS
THEN TWO BUSES TO THE SANTA

MONICA PIER JUST TO BUSK.

STREET PERFORMING FOR ME, IT IS
KIND OF A LOVE HATE

RELATIONSHIP, SUCH AS BEAUTIFUL
YET BRUTAL EXPERIENCE.

I WOULD BE PERFORMING IN THE
STREET BUT IN MY MIND I'M

PERFORMING ON THE STAGE OF THE
GRAMMYS.

KSH WITHIN MYSELF AS A KID I
REMEMBER IMAGINING WHAT IT WOULD

BE LIKE TOKING ON SUCH A GRAND
STAGE.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, I GET
EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I'VE

EXPERIENCED A LOT, MAN.

SO IT FEELS GOOD TO BE HERE.

TAYLOR SWIFT WILL BE PERFORMING

NEXT, BUT, FIRST, TIME TO GIVE
OUT A GRAMMY.

NOW, THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN
DIFFICULT FOR US ALL.

I MEAN, WE'VE HAD TO DO
EVERYTHING OVER ZOOM-- WEDDINGS,

WORK, COLONOSCOPIES.

BUT SOME OF THE BUSINESSES HIT
HARDEST BY THE PANDEMIC HAVE

BEEN THE INDEPENDENT MUSIC
VENUES ALL OVER AMERICA THAT

HAVEN'T HAD AUDIENCES IN THEIR
ICONIC BUILDINGS FOR A YEAR.

SO, TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO GO
TO A FEW OF THESE PRECIOUS

INDEPENDENT MUSIC VENUES AROUND
THIS COUNTRY AND GIVE THE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE CREATED SUCH LOVING
HOMES FOR MUSIC THE HONOR OF

PRESENTING SOME OF THIS YEAR'S
GRAMMY AWARDS.

LET'S GO FIRST TO NASHVILLE,
TENESSEE, TO THE STATION INN,

AND MEET J.T. GRAY.

(APPLAUSE)
I'M JT GRAY, I'M THE OWNER OF

THE STATION INN IN NASHVILLE,
TENNESSEE.

MUSIC, IT IS ONE BIG HAPPY
FAMILY, PLAYING HAPPY MUSIC AND

HAVING A HAPPY TIME, YOU NEVER
KNOW WHO IS GOING TO BE AT

STATION INN.

VINS GILL USED TO PLAY ON MONDAY
NIGHT, CHRIS STAPLETON USED TO

PLAY WITH THE STEEL DRIVERS.

THERE WAS A BAND PLAYED EVERY
TUESDAY NIGHT CALLED THE SIDEMEN

AND HE STARTED COMING DOWN AND
HANGING OUT, AND DIRKS WILL TELL

YOU TODAY THAT IS WHERE HE
LEARNED TO PLAY AND STING QUITE

HERE AT THE STATION INN.

WHEN COVID HIT WE HAD TO CLOSE
DOWN, WE HAD NO IDEA AT THAT

TIME WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.

BIGGER NAME VENUES CAN SUSTAIN
REVENUE LOSS A LOT MORE THAN A

PRIVATELY OWNED SMALL VENUE LIKE
THE STATION INN.

WE JUST HOPE THAT ALL THE OTHER
SMALL VENUES GET TO BE BACK IN

BUSINESS ALONG WITH US REAL SOON
BECAUSE MUSIC IS THERAPY FOR

PEOPLE.

GETTING TO REOPEN THE STATION
INN IS GOING TO BE A CELEBRATION

LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIG
PARTY.

IN THE MEANTIME, I'M HONORED TO
BE PRESENTING THE GRAMMY AWARD

FOR BEST COUNTRY ALBUM.

HERE ARE THE NOMINATIONS.

WELCOME BACK.

TO PRESENT OUR NEXT GRAMMY
AWARD, LET'S GO TO THE HEART OF

HARLEM AND PERHAPS THE MOST
HISTORIC INDEPENDENT VENUE IN

AMERICA.

LET'S MEET BILLY MITCHELL AT ONE
OF THE MOST ICONIC PLACES FOR

MUSICIANS TO PERFORM, AND FOR
COMEDIANS TO GET BOOED OFFSTAGE:

THE WORLD FAMOUS APOLLO THEATER.

MY NAME IS BILLY MITCHELL,
THEY CALL ME MR. APPALLO, I

FIRST STARTED RUNNING ERRANDS AT
THE THEATER, I USED TO RUN

ERRANDS FOR JAMES BROWN AND HIS
BAND.

HE WOULD ALWAYS ASK ME,
MR. BILLY, HOW ARE YOU DOING IN

SCHOOL, I WOULD SAY I'M DOING
GREAT, AND APPARENTLY HE DIDN'T

BELIEVE ME, BECAUSE ONE DAY
MR. BROWN MADE ME LEAVE THE

APPALLO, GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO
THE BRONX, GET MY REPORT CARD

AND SHOW IT TO HIM.

AND WHEN JAMES BROWN NOTICED MY
REPORT CARD HE TOLD ME THAT I

WAS NOT ALLOWED TO COME BACK TO
THE APPALLO AND RUNNER RANDS

UNTIL I GOT MY GRADES UP.

SO WITH THAT THREAT IN MIND, I
BECAME A MEMBER OF THE HONOR

ROLL AND AS A GRADUATION GIFT
JAMES BROWN GAVE ME SOME MONEY.

I USED THAT MONEY TO ENROLL INTO
BUSINESS SCHOOL AND THAT STARTED

MY CAREER AT THE APPALLO
THEATER.

THANK YOU JAMES BROWN.

THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR THEATER
THAT NOT ONLY SHOWED BLACK

TALENT ON THE STAGE BUT THE
FIRST THAT HIRED BLACK CREW AND

ALSO LET BLACKS SIT IN THE
AUDIENCE.

THE APPALLO WAS THE FIRST
THEATER IN HARLEM TO DO THAT.

CULTURALLY THIS PLACE IS LIKE
THE BEACON FOR

AFRICAN-AMERICANS.

THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT
THIS BUILDING.

IT IS SO HEARTBREAKING, WE MISS
OUR AUDIENCE AND WE CAN'T WAIT

UNTIL OUR DOORS ARE OPEN BACK UP
AGAIN.

WE JUST CAN'T WAIT.

AND WE DO OPEN BACK UP, IT IS
GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN US.

I WAS A POOR KID FROM MOUNT
VERNON, NEW YORK, NOW BEING

ASKED TO PRESENT ON THE GRAMMYS.

MAN, IT GETS NO BETTER THAN
THIS.

AND I AM SO GRATEFUL AND
APPRECIATIVE, I REALLY AM.

I FEEL LIKE I DO EXPRESS MYSELF

THINK THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY

HAPPEN.

GROWING UP IT WAS A VERY MUSIC
APPRECIATIVE HOUSEHOLD BUT MUSIC

ONE WOULD WALK OUT ONSTAGE, AND
YOU'D ALL TAKE A BATHROOM BREAK.

BUT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THIS

LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

SO TAKE A LOOK.

MUSIC REQUIRES LISTENING.

YOU HEAR THE VOCALS.

THE DRUMS.

THE RHYTHM GUITAR.

YOU LISTEN MORE CLOSELY AND YOU
WILL HEAR SO MUCH MORE.

LISTEN TO A SINGER-SONGWRITER
TRYING TO MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE

BIG CITY, A KID, LISTEN HOPE,
AND HEARTBREAK.

TO LATE NIGHTS IN THE ST AUDIO
TO MONTHS ON THE ROAD, THE

SILENT UNCERTAINTY THE NEXT DAY.

LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF YOUR
GENERATION, THOSE THAT CAME

BEFORE YOU, AND THOSE WHO ARE
NEXT.

LISTEN TO THE SIGNATURE SOUND OF
A GREAT PRODUCER, THE BACKUP

SINGERS WHO SING ALONG WHOSE
NAMES YOU MAY NEVER KNOW.

LISTEN TO LOVE.

TO DEDICATION PUT INTO EVERY

TO THE YEARS OF HARD WORK THAT

THE RECORDING ACADEMY'S JOB
ISN'T JUST TO HAND OUT AWARDS,

IT IS TO LISTEN TO THE MUG MUSIC
AND TO HEAR THE VOICES OF ALL

THOSE WHO MAKE IT.

AND WE ARE LISTENING LIKE NEVER
BEFORE.

WE HEAR THE CRIES FOR DIVERSITY,
THE PLEAS FOR REPRESENTATION AND

DEMANDS FOR TRANSPARENCY.

I FIRST JOINED THE ACADEMY 20
YEARS AGO SO I COULD VOTE FOR

MYSELF.

BUT WHAT I QUICKLY FOUND, WHAT
LED ME TO BECOME A TRUSTY AND

NOW CHAIR.

BOARD IS THAT THE RECORDING
ACADEMY IS SO MUCH MORE THAN

AWARDS, MORE THAN INDIVIDUAL
ARTISTS OR EVEN WHO IS CHAIR.

TONIGHT I'M HERE TO ASK THE
ENTIRE MUSIC COMMUNITY TO JOIN

IN, WORK WITH US, NOT AGAINST
US, AS WE BUILD A NEW RECORDING

ACADEMY THAT WE CAN ALL BE PROUD
OF.

ONE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE

100 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND WE

CERTAINLY WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE
EVERYBODY HAPPY BUT WE WILL

PROVIDE SUPPORT IN TIMES OF
NEED.

WE WILL PRESERVE MUSIC AND
EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION.

WE WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS
OF ALL CREATORS TO MAKE SURE

THEY CAN CONTINUE TO EARN A FAIR

AND WE WILL STAND UP FOR WHAT IS
RIGHT AND FIGHT FOR GREATER

DIVERSITY AND MORE EQUAL

BUT NOW WE WANT TO ALSO
SPOTLIGHT BEYONCÉ'S IMPACTFUL

RECORD, "BLACK PARADE," A
POWERFUL STATEMENT ABOUT SHARING

JOY EVEN AMID STRUGGLE.

IT WAS CREATED TO UPLIFT, AND
HAS BECOME MORE THAN A SONG, BUT

A MOVEMENT TO SUPPORT SMALL
BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES.

RELEASED ON JUNE 19, 2020, TO
COMMEMORATE JUNETEENTH, THIS

RECORD HONORS THE HISTORY AND
BEAUTY OF BLACKNESS AND THE

STRENGTH OF COMMUNITY.
