The Late Late Show star James Corden, who is hosting the Grammy Awards for the second year in a row, quipped during his opening monologue about being the "least diverse host in Grammys history."
“We don’t just have the most diverse group of nominees in Grammys history, we also have, for the second year in a row, the least diverse host in Grammys history,” he joked.
Meanwhile, Corden brought his Carpool Karaoke to the New York subway by debuting a "New York special" version of his signature segment along with Sting and Shaggy during the Sunday's award ceremony. They kicked off the performance with a rendition of Sting’s Every Breath You Take.
Kendrick Lamar made a statement with his fiery performance on a medley of hits including “XXX.” featuring U2, “DNA.” and ending with “King’s Dead,” where dancers dressed in red hoodies mimicked being shot and falling to the floor.
The performance earned cheers and a standing ovation from the audience at Madison Square Garden. Lamar took home awards for best rap album, music video, rap song, rap performance and rap/sung performance, defeating fellow rapper Jay-Z and leaving him empty-handed despite going into the show with a leading eight nominations.
