Quavo’s incredible tribute to Takeoff led this year’s powerful Grammys ‘In Memoriam’ segment

Wow, this tribute got us a little misty.

One of the most incredible moments at this year’s Grammy Awards was a deeply moving tribute to late Migos member Takeoff performed by Quavo, his former groupmate and uncle.

Quavo performed his song “Without You” that he shared some time after Takeoff’s death last fall. Contemporary worship group Maverick City Music joined Quavo onstage for the performance and added in lyrics from the Wiz Khalifa/Charlie Puth Furious 7 tearjerker “See You Again.”

For those still in shock over the hip-hop titan’s tragic death, the performance helped illuminate why the Grammys continue to knock it out of the park with the show’s annual In Memoriam segments.

Even if you’re only somewhat familiar with Migos, it’s hard not to get swept up in your emotions over this deeply moving tribute.

Kacey Musgraves also paid homage to late country icon Loretta Lynn during the ceremony in this moving performance of “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

We also got a beautiful tribute from Mick Fleetwood, Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt for late Fleetwood Mac member Christine McVie. They played Fleetwood Mac’s “Songbird” in McVie’s honor.

Also, don’t worry if you were worried if the In Memoriam segment left out late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. The Grammys honored his life during last year’s ceremony.

Bonnie Raitt had the most stunned reaction to winning Song of the Year at the 2023 Grammys

She was stunned!

First off, let’s talk about how Bonnie Raitt is an absolute legend. If you haven’t listened to her self-titled album from 1971 or her 1989 Grammy-winning Album of the Year Nick of Time, you should.

But in 2023, with her going up against names like Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Beyonce, Adele and others in the Song of the Year category, Raitt probably didn’t think her chances were good with her tune, Just Like That.

But then, First Lady Jill Biden announced her song, and Raitt’s jaw dropped. The room was silent for a few seconds — maybe because Biden didn’t announce Raitt’s name at first — before applauding.

What a moment!
