2019 Grammy Awards
Grammy 2019 gathered famous stars of the music industry who competed for statuettes in various categories a full list of which you can see below.
Several curious events occurred on Red carpet, for example, Ariana Grande`s work was recognized as the best album of the current year. But Ariana did not come to take a statuette. A story about a boycott of Grammy Award by a number of celebrities began to unfold long before a ceremony itself. Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Donald Glover, and Ariana Grande said they would not participate in the award ceremony, expressing their dissatisfaction with the dictatorship of Grammy producer Ken Erlik. Ariana Grande clarified her own reason: she didn't have enough time to prepare. Besides, she was not given an opportunity to choose a song to perform independently.
Meanwhile, Ariane’s outfit for Red carpet was already developed by one of the designers. She found it unfair that no one would see her dress. A singer made a photo session at home to show fans that fabulous dress.

Rapper Drake, who received his Grammy for the best rap song, stepped on stage criticizing Grammy Award. He said:
“We play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport. It is not the NBA… It is a business where sometimes it is up to a bunch of people that might not understand what a mixed-race kid from Canada has to say… or a brother from Houston right there, my brother Travis. You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word if you are a hero in your hometown. If there are people who have regular jobs which are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you already won.”

However, his speech was cut off; it provoked a wave of disagreement among Internet users. Are prize hosts afraid of criticism in the 21st century of freedom of speech? It is still an open question.
Cardi B`s Grammy ceremony was calm, but the singer shocked fans with a brand new look. 26-year-old woman managed to outshine everybody else with her appearance on Red carpet. A shell dress caused a real creative boom on the Internet.
For the presentation of the most prestigious music award, the American hip-hop singer prepared thoroughly. Star`s creative designer made an extravagant dress for this evening. Cardi B emerged from a shell, that was intricately made of fabric on a steel corset. She had pearls on waist, neck and in her hair. One can see the way it looked below.
