BTS and Olivia Rodrigo steal the Grammys

Olivia Rodrigo is quite literally living her childhood dream.The 19-year-old is currently on the North American leg of her international Sour tour, which sparked a moment of reflection for the young star. As she plays for crowds across the world, she thought back on her days as a child, when she would perform for a much smaller audience.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorComing off of her three Grammy Award wins last weekend, Olivia Rodrigo has added ASCAP Pop Music Awards Songwriter of the Year to her growing trophy case. The singer takes home the top ASCAP honor —her first ASCAP Award ever— recognizing her songs “Deja Vu,” “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U” and will accept the award in an exclusive video on ASCAP social media.Recognizing the chart-topping songwriters, producers and publishers behind the biggest pop music hits of 2021, The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) has announced the winners of its 2022  Pop Music Awards in virtual ceremonies.

Chris Willman Music WriterThe Weeknd may have kept his music out of contention for the recent Grammys, but there’s no shortage of him being name-checked on the just-released list of candidates for the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, where he leads with 17 nominations — three more than the nearest runner-up, Doja Cat, who has 14.There’s a three-way tie for third place among contenders, with Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber and Kanye West all having 13 as a possibly lucky number.Another top artist who recused himself from Grammy consideration, Drake, has 11 nominations going into the ceremony, followed by Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa with nine, the Kid Laroi with eight, and BTS, Taylor Swift and Giveon with seven each. If 13 for any reason should seem like a high number for West, there’s a peculiar reason for that.

BTS almost didn’t perform at the ceremony.In the latest episode of Rolling Stone’s Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, Grammys executive producers and showrunners Ben Winston and Raj Kapoor spoke about several behind-the-scenes secrets of this year’s ceremony.One incident that happened behind-the-scenes was that K-pop group BTS were nearly unable to perform due to positive COVID-19 tests from some members. They also recalled how the boyband were unable to rehearse with all seven members until a day before the ceremony.“There were times when we were worried they weren’t gonna be able to be here,” Winston revealed.

Kanye West may be dropping out of major events like the Grammys and this year’s Coachella, but he still seems to be staying busy!

Let’s do this,” she told the artists, transforming the ensembles and leaving Dua with a mini skirt and Megan in a thigh-high midi slit, saving them from a fashion faux pas.J Balvin and Valentina Ferrer exude style on the 2022 Grammy red carpetThese are all the Latin nominees and winners at the 2022 Grammy Awards (Updating Live)Kanye West & Olivia Rodrigo could make Grammy historyThe bit was a call-back to a moment from the 1998 Grammy Awards, where Mariah and Whitney presented together in matching Vera Wang wrap dresses.
