Grammys 2019 highlights: Dolly Parton joins Miley Cyrus in tribute performance; BTS presents award to H.E.R

Hosted by Alicia Keys, the 2019 Grammy Awards kicked off at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on 10 February. Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance to help open the awards with Keys. The former first lady appeared onstage with Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith and Keys to say how music has impacted their lives. “Music has always helped me tell my story,” Obama said. “Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves. It allows us to hear one another.” Gaga told the crowd: “They said I was weird, that my look, that my choices, that my sound wouldn’t work. But music told me not to listen to them.” Camila Cabello opened with the her song ‘Havana’, before Ricky Martin, J Balvin and renowed Cuban-American trumpeter Arturo Sandoval joined her onstage.
