SZA, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus and more memorable acts from the 2024 Grammy Awards
SZA - Snooze
Trending
The singer-songwriter from St. Louis, Missouri won her fourth Recording Academy Award for Snooze as the Best R&B song, released in 2022 in the album SOS. She performed the same at the award function. She opened her act wearing a long black coat and hat, delivering a sultry rendition to her hit song.
This was followed by her vengeful song, Kill Bill, alongside dancers inspired by the Tarantino-esque costume and swords.
Jon Batiste's Tribute
Jon Batiste performed his electrifying song, Freedom, and was also nominated for two awards in 2024. However, the most impressionable act was his tribute to Clarence Avant, and numerous other artists and executives while playing the piano.
As he sang the sombre words to Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, a carousel of all the artists that were lost in the year shuffled in the background. Along with the five-time Grammy winner, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz and Annie Lennox also paid their tributes in a heartfelt performance.
Dua Lipa - Houdini
The British artist and two time Grammy Award winner took to stage in an aerobic performance while singing her high-energy song, Houdini. This was followed by a sneak peek into a new upcoming single, Training Season. She performed her singles alongside dancers, who propped her on a cubical cage.
In an interview with the BBC, she had said,
"The song is essentially about knowing when to stay and knowing when the right time to leave is."
Miley Cyrus - Flowers
Miley Cyrus won her first Grammy Award in 2024, for her song, Flowers from the album Endless Summer Vacation released in March 2023. With almost a billion views on YouTube, her live performance for Flowers was similarly well received.
She performed the hit song in a shimmering silver dress, with occasional playful quips to the audience. Apart from the Record of the Year for Flowers, she also won another Recording Academy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Olivia Rodrigo - Vampire
Singer-songwriter and actress Olivia Rodrigo who is a three time award winner, performed her popular song, Vampire at the event. Taylor Swift was also seen singing along the lyrics. The 20 year old artist, also known for hits like deja vu, driver's license, and traitor, donned on a red dress along with props.
Fake blood dripped down her face and in the background, and the crowd gave her a standing ovation for her performance. This year, Olivia has been nominated for Best Written Song in Visual Media.
Apart from these performances, some other memorable acts included Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, Billie Eilish among others.
