Hey, I'm Brian Hyatt, and this is Rolling Stone Music Now. I'm in the studio with Rob Sheffield and Brittany Spanos.

We're going to talk Grammys. Of course, we're going to talk Grammys. How can we not talk Grammys?

Although it suffered from many of the usual problems, I thought it was a less boring Grammys than usual.

It kept me entertained. We thought we'd start with highlights. What highlights should we start with guys?

What do you think?

I mean, the opening performance

was such a good way to launch everything

with Camila Cabello and Jay Balvin and Ricky Martin.

And it was such an exciting and colorful and fun way to really like get the show started.

Absolutely.

It was kind of like a coronation

because of course last year Camula was on the show,

just introducing you two and speaking really beautifully about, you know, like you two two and speaking really beautifully about you know like you two and

the themes that she has with immigration in common and literally everybody very

much including the members of you two must have wondered we should be introducing her why is she not singing

Havana and we're playing so for her to be doing this it was almost like a coronation

triumph it was really just a beautiful production and Ricky Martin was

amazing yeah and I was saying it's a reminder for there are many things the

Grammys don't know how to do but they do know how to put on the show.

It is far more professional and polished than say the latter day VMA's and that performance was as you said like a

beautifully staged I mean it was very like cheesy musical theater but it was

cool if you're willing to embrace that kind of thing which I totally am under
