Speaker 1: So congratulations to the project and to those girls. This
Speaker 1: is the first time a K pop song has ever
Speaker 1: won a Grammy in any category, and in a move
Speaker 1: that shocked the room, British singer Lola Young won Best
Speaker 1: Pop Solo Performance for her song Messy, beating out heavyweights
Speaker 1: like Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga. She was so unprepared
Speaker 1: she actually cursed on the microphone during her acceptance speech.
Speaker 1: I love a good unfoldment and if I just to
Speaker 1: rewind it back. It was the first in a pre show,
Speaker 1: Golden by Hunterricks. One in the pre show, Okay, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to clarify for all my music heads that
Speaker 1: want to clock my tea. Anyways, let's keep it going.
Speaker 1: We had some major genre sweeps. They had a huge
Speaker 1: night for the Alternative Crowd winning Best Rock Album, and
Speaker 1: that is the Cure. The Cure had a huge night
Speaker 1: Best Rock Album for Songs of a Lost World, So
Speaker 1: congratulations to them. Then we have the Big Four history
Speaker 1: in every language. Let's start with the crown jewel, bad
Speaker 1: bunny to call them Album of the Year for Debi
Speaker 1: Der mass Photos. Debbie Der mass Photos. This is a monumental.
Speaker 1: It's the first time a Spanish language album has ever
Speaker 1: won the night's biggest prize. He dedicated the win to
Speaker 1: immigrants everywhere, a theme that echoed through the entire night.
Speaker 1: Is it safe to say that the United States is
Speaker 1: Bilinguo now? Like? Can we dub Spanish as our official
Speaker 1: second language? Just saying anyways. The rest of the Big
Speaker 1: Four was a heavy hitter parade. We have Record of
Speaker 1: the Year Kendrick Lamar and Siza for Luther. Kendrick is
Speaker 1: actually now officially the most awarded rapper in Grammy history,
Speaker 1: passing Jay Z next. Actually, can we get a round
Speaker 1: of applause for that? Congratulations Kendrick for a Song of
Speaker 1: the Year, Billie Eilish and Phineas for Wildflower. That's another
Speaker 1: trophy for the Highland Park Legends Best new artist Olivia
Speaker 1: Dean Chappelle Rone, which is last year's winner, handed over
Speaker 1: the baton and a really touching passing of the guard moment,
Speaker 1: shall I say? And then we have egot and legend
Speaker 1: status Egot. Do you guys know what egot means? Emmy, Grammy,
Speaker 1: Oscar Tony And that goes to Steven Spielberg. He secured
Speaker 1: the g he needed, winning Best Music Film for Music
Speaker 1: by John Wells. Stephen Spielbert is a producer for Music
Speaker 1: by John Williams, so he is now officially one of
Speaker 1: only twenty two people to achieve EGO status Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Steven Spielberg. Now on the performance side,
Speaker 1: the energy was chaotic in the best of ways. We
Speaker 1: have Lady Gaga performing Abra Kadabra in a costume that
Speaker 1: can only be described as feather forward and Justin Bieber Bieber,
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber. I think we have a Justin Bieber episode
Speaker 1: by the way, so go check that out after this
Speaker 1: one if you haven't already listened to it. Anyways, Justin
Speaker 1: Bieber performed Yukon and get this just his boxers and socks,
Speaker 1: which is a bold choice for February Valentine's Day romance
Speaker 1: and he's pretty good looking, so he can pull. I'm
Speaker 1: sure people had things to say, but here in Crash
Speaker 1: Course Pod we stamped that we definitely supported and actually
Speaker 1: he wore from his brand Skylark sky l r K
Speaker 1: and Purple Satin to Mattress guitar. It was definitely a
Speaker 1: bold marketing move for his new fashion line and like
Speaker 1: I said, we support that on the Crash Course Pod.
Speaker 1: Speaking of more performances, Tyler the Creator didn't just perform.
Speaker 1: He arguably had the most theatrical and explosive set of
Speaker 1: the night. His performance was a massive era's medley that
Speaker 1: bridged his Chromacopia twenty twenty four and Don't Tap the
Speaker 1: Glass twenty twenty five albums. It was packed with stunts
Speaker 1: that had social media buzzing for hours. So the entrance.
Speaker 1: He marched onto stage in full Chromacopia military regalia flanked
Speaker 1: by a squad of soldiers to perform thought I Was Dead.
Speaker 1: The cameo, and a surprising twist was Regina King. She
Speaker 1: appeared in a spoken word interlude as an auto mechanic,
Speaker 1: transitioning the set into his next era. Tyler performed a
Speaker 1: crazy stunt, he jumped into a red Ferrari to perform
Speaker 1: Sugar on My Tongue and a choreographed accident, he actually
Speaker 1: crashed the car on stage and ran over a body
Speaker 1: double of his former Chromacopia persona, symbolizing the death of
Speaker 1: that era. The finale ended the set by lighting a
Speaker 1: fuse and literally blowing up a gas station set behind him,
Speaker 1: leaving him standing at the front of the stage covered
Speaker 1: in soot. So like wow. Speaking of Tyler, he was
Speaker 1: nominated for his six awards, including Album of the Year.
Speaker 1: He took home one specific trophy on Sunday Night, which
Speaker 1: is best Album Cover for Chromacopia. This was a special
Speaker 1: win as it was the first year the category was
Speaker 1: to reinstated for the main telecast. So very interesting. And
Speaker 1: then we have Sabrina Carpenter. Following her debut performance at
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five ceremony, she returned to the stage
Speaker 1: Sunday Night with a high concept for her hit single
Speaker 1: man Child. The theme she transformed the stage into a
Speaker 1: busy old school airport, even taking on the role of
Speaker 1: a captain. The performance ended with her pulling out a
Speaker 1: live white dove, a moment that quickly went viral and
Speaker 1: drew a critique from Peta. You know, Peta, they don't
Speaker 1: play on the fashion side. On the red carpet, she
Speaker 1: wore a custom Volentino gown dripping in pearls and crystals,
Speaker 1: so beautiful, which was widely cited as one of the
Speaker 1: best looks of the night. So coming off the success
Speaker 1: of her latest album, Man's Best Friend, she was one
Speaker 1: of the most nominated artists of the night, with six nods,
Speaker 1: including Album of the Year. However, she didn't take home
Speaker 1: the top prize this year, but her performance was praised
Speaker 1: by Trevor Noah as a standout moment of the broadcast,
Speaker 1: so you know, shout out to Sabrina Carpenter. She did
Speaker 1: really well as well and looked super beautiful. The show
Speaker 1: also got pretty political. There was a lot of anti
Speaker 1: ice sentiment, from Kailani's red carpet comment to Baillie Eilish
Speaker 1: stating no one is illegal on stolen Land, so we
Speaker 1: could see the artists use the platform to push back
Speaker 1: against current immigration policies and the occupation. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: kind of gave a night a much heavier tone, more
Speaker 1: urgent weight than usual. Tributes in the memoriam segment. It
Speaker 1: was actually a highlight this year, post from alone and
Speaker 1: a heavy metal supergroup including Slash tore through war Pigs
Speaker 1: for Ozzy Osbourne, while Lauren Hill led a stunning soul
Speaker 1: drenched tribute to DiAngelo and ROBERTA. Flack. So well done.
Speaker 1: We also have some funny things. Well, it was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a classic live TV blunder from Chaer.
Speaker 1: She accidentally announced the winner of Record of the Year
Speaker 1: as Luther Vandross, the late singer, instead of the song
Speaker 1: titled Luther by Kendrick Lamar and Sissa. So, like typical
Speaker 1: live television Mystike, we love your Share. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't expect her to know Luther was by Kendrick and Sissa,
Speaker 1: and anyone in her age group sees Luther and automatically
Speaker 1: thinks Luther Vandross. So I'm just you know, Share made
Speaker 1: an honest mistake. So what else can we talk about? Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about some recap wins for Best Music Urbana Album,
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny, Debbie Matos, Best Traditional Pop Album, Loffe, Matter
Speaker 1: of Time, Best Metal Performance, Turnstile Birds, Best Country Song,
Speaker 1: Tyler Childers Biten lists. We also have another quick wins table,
Speaker 1: so we talked about Album of the Year Kendrick Lamar
Speaker 1: and Suza for Luther, Record of the Year, Song of
Speaker 1: the Year, Billie Eilish, Wildflower, Best New Artist Olivia Dean,
Speaker 1: Best Pop Vocal Album Lady Gaga Mayhem, and Best Rap
Speaker 1: Album Kendrick Lamar, g and X. You guys, it was
Speaker 1: a jam packed night, fullow, funny moments, highs and lows.
Speaker 1: I'm sure social media has been buzzing, which is why
Speaker 1: I wanted to give it two days before I did
Speaker 1: a show on it, just to make sure I didn't
Speaker 1: miss anything. And even still, I'm pretty sure I missed
Speaker 1: some regardless. That's the Crash Course on the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six Grammys, the sixty eighth Annual Grammy Awards. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: Ashtney and Kendrick's The King, Bad Bunny is a history Maker,
Speaker 1: and Justin Bieber needs a pair of pants. Stat For
