The 2025 Grammy Awards were opened with a special performance from the Los Angeles Daw, two brothers whose homes were destroyed in recent forest fires.
The duo joined the theater by the former winners of Grammy, including Sherrill Crowe, John Legend, Brad Paisley and Betani Howard to perform the classic Randy Newman’s song.
“It was often said that at the darkest times, he illuminates the best humanity, and the people of Los Angeles at the present time are an ideal example of this,” said host Trevor Noah.
“That is tonight, we decided that we will not only celebrate our favorite music. We also celebrate the city that brought us a lot of this music.”

“Just a few weeks ago, we were not sure that this show would happen,” said the comedian, who is hosting the ceremony for the fifth time.

She finished her speech with a message to other ambitious artists.
“There are many black women who are watching me now, and I want to tell you, you can do this.
“Anything possible. Don’t allow anyone to show any stereotypes on you [or] I tell you that you cannot be here, or you are very dark, or that you are not smart enough, or you are very dramatic or you are very loud.
“You are exactly the one you need to be right in your place and I am a testimony. God bless.”
