Noah made light of the situation by joking that “Beyoncé is nominated for her album Renaissance,” which, by the way, in his view, was superior to everything that was produced during the historical Renaissance.
“The Renaissance was little more than paintings of grapes and other like things. Beyoncé raised the bar to a whole new level. I was truly moved to the point that I resigned my work as a result of the lyrics of the song “Break My Soul.
” That should give you an idea of how strong it was.I really wish that Beyoncé had also written a song on how important it is to save finances before quitting your work, but maybe she’ll do it in her future album.
Next, Noah went on to mention a few more famous people who were in attendance at the 2023 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. He eventually got around to mentioning Harry Styles, who entered the evening with six nominations, including three in the most prestigious categories.
The comic questioned the audience member, asking, “What can you say about this guy that hasn’t already been said?” “An absolutely fantastic record. Tour that will blow your mind. A performance run of 15 nights at both the MSG and the Forum.
This guy is so good-looking that women will throw their underwear at him, and then he will put them on and look even better than they do. He is without a doubt the sexiest guy in the planet. Are you kidding?
There is no other option available. Especially now that they’ve discontinued the green M&Ms, which have become the unofficial sex emblem of the world. No competition.”
Next, Noah commended Kendrick Lamar for his Grammy-nominated album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, referring to the project as a “therapy session that got him many Grammy nominations.” Lamar’s record was one of several nominees this year.
He went on to say, “All my treatment ever got me was helping me overcome the traumatic experiences I had as a youngster; it was meaningless.”
After that, Noah gave a shout out to Lizzo for her continuous message of body acceptance, ongoing success, and for “killing the naysayers on Instagram and Twitter.”
And the Grammys emcee who has presided over the event three times was unable to get through his introductory statement without complimenting Taylor Swift’s most recent album, Midnights.
According to what he said, “Taylor Swift sold more records than any other human being on the earth last year.” The only other piece of music outside Taylor‘s that we listened to more often than his was the hold music for Southwest Airlines.
That completed the exercise. They were able to get the accurate streaming figures. And just so you know, I really like listening to your song “Anti-Hero.” Yes, I really appreciate your help. My auntie is also a hero in her own right.
Beatrice is the name of this woman. We are grateful for it. I want to thank you for honoring all of the aunties that are out there.
Throughout the course of the evening, the comedian spoke jokes, found out that Adele and Dwayne Johnson are both huge fans of each other’s music, and then introduced them to each other.

He also handed Beyoncé one of her Grammys as she was sitting in the audience at her table. Noah took a minute to highlight the significance of music and how it can bring people together despite their many differences before he began the touching part entitled “In Memory Of.”
According to what the presenter said, “It’s Black kids and white kids rejecting segregation in the 1950s and instead combining R&B, country, and even gospel into rock and roll.
” “In the 1980s, a young black rapper from Queens and a Jewish white boy in his NYU dorm collaborated to create some of the finest hip-hop of all time,” said DJ Premier, a hip-hop historian and author. Because of their individual differences, they were able to create a dynamic new sound when they worked together.
He went on to say that music is more than simply the harmonious arrangement of sounds. “What music is all about is people of all ethnicities, genders, faiths, identities, and sexual orientations coming together to reject separation in order to discover moments of joy, togetherness, and harmony.”
After that, he poked fun at Prince Harry with a witty remark. When he introduced James Corden, who later announced Beyoncé’s record-breaking win for best dance album, he said that Corden was proof that someone can move to Los Angeles from London without talking about their frostbitten penis, which is something that the Duke of Sussex mentioned in his memoir Spare. Corden was the one who made the announcement of Beyoncé’s record-breaking win for best dance album.
The host recently got down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss his upcoming role as the emcee for the Grammy Awards as well as the reasons why he continues to accept the role.
He made light of the situation by joking, “Well, I have a lot of spare time these days, so that’s part of it.” On a more somber tone, he elaborated by saying, “Moments that you have backstage with the performers — you’re just strolling around and you’re seeing Billie Eilish, or you’re having a conversation with one of the other artists.” “you don’t get to see it anyplace else, and you don’t get to feel that degree of delight,”

Noah continued by saying, “For me to be a part of it is genuinely, I think now, it’s a once in a three times in a lifetime chance.” Because all of these folks provide the score to our life, I never take it for granted that we have them in our midst.
Even though the comedian kicked off Sunday night’s live program, the 2023 Grammy Awards really started earlier in the day with the Premiere Ceremony, which was not broadcast on television. The winners were Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Lizzo, the Encanto soundtrack, and Viola Davis, who became the first African American woman to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
