The red carpet for the 66th annual Grammys was packed with music's most prominent artists on Sunday night, and Rolling rock he found a place to talk with them. Video producers Delisa Shannon and Ilana Woldenberg chatted with musicians as they arrived at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena to discuss the Grammy moments they were most excited to watch during the ceremony, their fashion, and the music they're working on now. among other issues.

Some of the most fascinating conversations Rolling rock was with Caroline Polachek, Peso Pluma and more. Here's what they had to say:

Moments after Tyla's song 'Water' won the Grammy for Best African Music Performance, the weight of the situation was still there – literally. “This award is so heavy,” he said. “I didn't think it was that heavy.” She talked about what people should expect from her upcoming Coachella shows and the role her native South Africa plays in her music. “It's everything,” he said. “Even my performances, my dancing, even in interviews, I speak like I speak at home. I'm not trying to change anything. I just want people to see the authenticity of who I am, where I come from, to experience the culture and energy that people always love about South Africans.”

Two decades after Kylie Minogue won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording for “Come Into My World,” she won another in a new category — Best Pop Dance Recording — for her rousing “Padam Padam” on Sunday. On the red carpet, the singer said she felt the accusation was “poetic” after telling people she's been making “pop-dance” music for years. “Win or no win, it was already important to me that it's been 20 years since the other,” he said. “I have a set now. I will start collecting. I'm so excited to represent longevity and being able to adapt and evolve.”

Caroline Polacheck's 2023 album, Desire, I want to turn into younominated for Best Engineered album, Non-Classical (lost to Victoria Monét's Jaguar II). However, Polacheck said Rolling rock that she found it special to be recognized for her album's sound, especially since she had previously been credited as a producer. “It's really, really important [nomination] for me, because I put so much love and so much time into the engineering and editing behind the whole album,” he said. “And the devil really is in the details when it comes to music.”

Peso Pluma won a Grammy on Sunday for his album, Genesis, in the Best Música Mexicana album category (including Tejano). On the carpet, he said Rolling rock that the victory was special because he saw it not only for him but also for his country. He also reflected on the uniqueness he brings to the music. “I think Double P as a sound is unique,” he said. “The play, the musicians, the live instruments, everything and the genre, and I think that's the most important thing of all.”

Coi Leray — a two-time nominee for Best Pop Dance Recording and Best Rap Performance — felt good on the red carpet, giving Rolling rock a round of 'Because Girls Are Gamers Too'. Hugging her player, she spoke about how important it was for her not to feel confined to one style, so it meant a lot to her to be nominated in categories from multiple genres. “My versatility is something I love when people admire [it] and I appreciate [it],” he said. “So to be nominated for best pop and best rap … the versatility is there and they appreciate it.”

said Samara Joy Rolling rock she felt relaxed on Sunday, even though she would be presenting her Best New Artist award (which she won last year) during the main ceremony. Of course, it's easy to relax when you've already won a Grammy. Earlier in the day, Joy won the trophy for Best Jazz Performance for her song 'Tight'. Since she won twice last year, she said Sunday's event felt comfortable and she was ready to return the Best New Artist favor to someone new. “I feel great because I know how much this moment meant to me and how surprised, excited and shocked I was when I heard my name called, because it's nice to celebrate other people,” she said. “To experience it yourself is a completely different thing, so I'm happy to surprise someone else with this honor tonight.”

6lack was nominated for Best Progressive R&B album for his Since I have a lover LP, and said Rolling rock that the lyrics of the album's title track will be his beacon for what he hopes will be the rest of 2024. “After I have a lover, no more lonely nights,” he said. “I would take it and make it mean more than just something romantic. I would say that building friendships and relationships and community has brought me to a place where I don't have to feel like I'm alone against the world.”

Dan Nigro produced and co-wrote every Olivia Rodrigo song Offal, and on Sunday night he was nominated in the Record of the Year category for Rodrigo's 'Vampire'. On the red carpet, he said Rolling rock about how he maintains who he is while working with artists. “I work so closely with Chappell [Roan] and I work so closely with Olivia, so I've put my all into both of these records,” he said. “Going back and forth between them at the same time was a challenge for me, but I feel like I did my best and I hope people will appreciate these records individually.”
