FIRST LADIES
Michelle Obama rocks up to share the stage with world’s top divas
MICHELLE Obama made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards as women stole the spotlight at this year’s ceremony. The former first lady received a standing ovation as she walked on to the stage with Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jennifer Lopez. They joined host Alicia Keys, who had told the audience: “Ya’ll didn’t think I was coming out here by myself, did you? Please, can I bring some of my sisters out here tonight?” Obama told the adoring crowd at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles: “Music helps us share ourselves. Our dignity and our sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another. To invite each other in.” Woman dominated the awards, with Kacey Musgraves winning Album of the Year and Cardi B becoming the first woman to win Best Rap Album as a solo artist. Lady Gaga got three Grammys, including Best pop solo performance, while Brit Dua Lipa won the award for Best New Artist.
