Music's biggest night is underway - and Trevor Noah has assured that, 'We're going to be keeping people's names out of our mouths,' subtly referring to last week's Oscar slap during his Grammys opening monologue.
“We’re going to be keeping people’s names out of our mouths,” said Noah, referring to the now infamous moment when Will Smith confronted Chris Rock for a joke made about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. In addition to slapping the comic, Will Smith said, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”
The event got off to a lively start, with a performance by Silk Sonic, the R&B duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak. Silk Sonic was also the first big winner of the night when its song, “Leave the Door Open,” was named song of the year. Another multiple honoree: Jon Batiste, the singer and bandleader, who was named the recipient of a handful of awards, including one for best music video , prior to the televised ceremony. Batiste entered the night as the most nominated artist, with 11 nods in all. He is vying in the evening’s big categories — album of the year and record of the year.
