Grammys host Alicia Keys then paid tribute to Bryant at the top of the show, after Lizzo’s performance, somberly addressing the audience and saying that everyone was feeling “crazy sadness” after the loss of “a hero” in Bryant. “We’re literally standing here heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built,” she said to applause from the well-heeled crowd. She urged the audience to hold Bryant and the other victims of the crash in their hearts and performed a bit of “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” with Boyz II Men, ending by saying “We love you, Kobe.”
