But this year’s ceremony, once again hosted by The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, wasn’t without its own pandemic shenanigans — originally scheduled for February, music’s biggest night was forced to postpone due to Omicron. They had to change the locale too, taking the show on the road to Vegas.
Don’t forget that Olivia Rodrigo is first and foremost a theater kid. The Sour singer tapped into her roots for her performance of her breakout single “drivers license,” inside a car and against a suburban backdrop. Rodrigo even upped the drama by turning the bridge into a full-on rock breakdown. It may have been the second performance of the night, but it felt like the 11 o’clock number.
Common wisdom suggested that Olivia Rodrigo was pure Grammys bait: a capable songwriter making acoustic, organic music who also crafted the biggest hit of last year. But when given the chance, the Grammys didn’t go out of their way to award her — at least not like they did for her peer Billie Eilish two years before. While some thought Rodrigo would sweep the general categories off the strength of “drivers license,” she actually came up pretty short.
