“#2021 Grammys Opens With a Tour From Trevor Noah and a Swinging Harry Styles Performance (VIDEO)<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Grammys<\/a> 2021 is trying to keep the show as \u201cnormal\u201d as possible while maintaining a safe social<\/a> distance from the Staples Center \u2014 where the show is not<\/em> being broadcast from this year (it\u2019s at the Los Angeles Convention Center), as host Trevor Noah<\/a> quips in his monologue from a tent outside.<\/p>\n

And yes, his opening is full of reminders of COVID (\u201cI know it\u2019s been one year, but it feels like 10\u201d) and even the recent royals news<\/a> (\u201cThere\u2019s more tension in that tent [where nominees are gathered] than a family reunion at the Buckingham Palace\u201d), but the focus, as always, is on the music.<\/p>\n

Noah offers a tour of the setup of the 2021 Grammys, from the tent to the red carpet to the stage, where musicians are gathered (socially distanced, of course). To kick off the show, that includes Black Pumas, the Haim sisters, Billie Eilish<\/a>, and Finneas. First to perform: Harry Styles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll steal your heart and your dress and he\u2019ll look damn good doing it,\u201d Noah says when introducing him.<\/p>\n

And that he does, performing \u201cWatermelon Sugar.\u201d It\u2019s his first time performing at the Grammys.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping this is all about what 2021 can be,\u201d the host says in his opening monologue. And considering this might be the most normal award show so far in 2021 \u2014 there\u2019s no one over Zoom yet, for instance, and the night opens with three musical performances (Eilish and HAIM after Styles) \u2014 the focus is, at least, on music where it should be.<\/p>\n
