The 61st Grammy Awards held at Staples Centre in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
As Ms. Obama appeared on stage, joined by the host Alicia Keys, Lady
Gaga, Jada Pinkett- Smith, and Jennifer Lopez, fans screamed and blew
kisses to the former first lady. She smiled before saying ‘We’ve got a
show to do!’ and began laughing with her co-presenters.
She went on to pay a tribute to Motown and Beyonce, saying:
From the Motown records that I wore out on the Southside, to the Who
Run The World songs that fueled me through this last decade, music has
always helped me tell my story and I know that’s true for everyone
here.Music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes our joys.
It allows us to hear one another – to invite each other in. Music
shows us that all of it matters…every story within every voice, every
note within every song.
