The 62nd Grammy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles. Many stars (with rare exceptions) gathered at the Staples Center. We tell how everything went and why the ceremony was overshadowed from the very beginning.

Grammy Award 2020: Scandal

The Grammy Award began with a scandal. A few days before the ceremony, the director of the American National Academy of Sound and Arts Deborah Dugan was fired. The woman was removed from work due to a complaint from one of the employees – she accused the director of creating “toxic” working conditions. In response, Dugan said that the leadership of the academy falsified the winners. According to her, the prize committee promotes “their” artists, and also complained about harassment, racism and sexism.

After this scandal, it became known that Taylor Swift will ignore the Grammy ceremony – she canceled her speech a couple of days before the award.

The Grammy Award began with a moment of silence. Just a few hours before the Grammy, it became known that the legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant died in a plane crash.
