Dugan had established herself as someone who wanted to make the Grammys more representative of the music industry early on in her tenure, which began in August. “I actually wanted to make change from within,” she said on an ABC “Good Morning America” segment Thursday after her EEOC suit had been filed.
Other performances, though, were solid; Gary Clark, Jr., accompanied by the Philadelphia hip-hop collective The Roots, put on a blistering performance of his anti-racism broadside"This Land"; Bonnie Raitt's brief tribute to folk legend John Prine was a lovely moment of steely calm; Lizzo and Grande showed why they've been filling arenas with their elaborate stagings and solid vocals.
