As presenter Alicia Keys assured Grammy viewers she had every intention of “taking care” of us, she swiftly delivered by an amazing handful of powerful women, including Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez and, oh yeah, the literal former First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Reminding everyone what the night was really about, each of the women revealed what music meant to them, with Michelle saying: ““Music has always helped me tell my story… whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another. To invite one another in.”
Alicia said it best as she asked the crowd: “Who run the world?”
