As Grammy nights go, this 12 months’s ceremony was a nice shock. Beyoncé took residence the highest album prize, ending a decades-long shutout. Kendrick Lamar translated a rap beef into two big wins, for tune and file of the 12 months. And the up-and-comers Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Doechii received large prizes and delivered memorable performances.
All in all, it felt like a snapshot of pop music’s quickly evolving panorama, by which younger artists with extremely developed senses of self and efficiency are remaking stardom at a speedy clip.
On this week’s Popcast, a dialog concerning the Grammys’ relationship to its personal metanarrative, the usage of the Grammy stage as a spot of protest and pushback; and whether or not this 12 months’s present marked a real altering of the pop guard.
