Bad Bunny had made history by winning album of the year for “Debà Tirar Más Fotos,” the first time a Spanish-language album took home the Recording Academy’s top prize.
While that emotional win for the Puerto Rican superstar is hard to top, there were some other great moments from the 3 1/2-hour telecast, like when Cher nearly forgot to announce the winner of record of the year. Justin Bieber stripped his set down, while Lady Gaga added some manic energy and Ozzy Osbourne was honoured with a heavy metal classic complete with exploding fire.
Lady Gaga later took it to the weird, singing “Abracadabra” in a feather-festooned costume from inside a basket-like headpiece. She used a gnarly cane, played some synths, twitched and nailed a more rock-funk version of her song. Playing her sexpot, tongue-in-cheek best, the singer-songwriter wore white hot pants, a white neckerchief and a white captain’s hat emblazoned with SCA — presumably for Sabrina Carpenter Airlines — as she strutted across a stage filled with baggage carousels and dancers, even singing into an intercom at one point and using a pair of traffic wands used on runways.
