That blood you saw on Alice Cooper’s shirt toward the end of the 58th annual Grammy Awards? It belonged to the guy who was running Adele’s sound.
That particular Grammy moment was an “owie” moment, on a night that had more than its fair share of low points. But, fortunately, the telecast did have performances that will be remembered more fondly around the watercooler — including knockout turns from Kendrick Lamar, the cast of Hamilton beaming in from Broadway, and Gwen Stefani beaming in from an undisclosed roller rink.
The show’s highs and lows:
LOW: SONIC KRYPTONITE FELLS ADELE
What the…? From the opening moments, it was clear that something had gone dreadfully wrong to sabotage what everyone expected to be the vocally unassailable performance of the night.
Rumor had it (sorry) that a piano microphone had fallen into the instrument, accounting for the horrific clanging at the beginning of the tune. Whether that or poor monitors were the culprit, Adele was… it hurts to even say the word… pitchy. And also heroic, given the clearly daunting circumstances. She later tweeted: “The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that’s what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. S— happens. Because of it though… I’m treating myself to an in n out. So maybe it was worth it.”
