Was the timing appropriate for hosting a major entertainment awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday? Not exactly, considering the series of wildfires that had just been contained after devastating numerous LA communities.
However, the city’s ongoing recovery efforts were evident throughout the 2025 Grammys, where host Trevor Noah and LA-connected artists—including Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars—delivered dynamic performances that served not as lamentations, but rather as celebrations of Los Angeles residents’ unbreakable spirit.
Plus, there were some amazing speeches that most likely irked the current Trump regime, but the audience and Americans with a heart greatly appreciated it.
