Miley Cyrus' big night at the Grammys -- scooping up 2 trophies -- is raising eyebrows because she totally excluded her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, from her acceptance speeches.

Miley first bagged the Best Pop Solo Performance Award for her hit song "Flowers" before the song later cinched the Record of the Year trophy -- and while she thanked several key people in her life onstage, she notably omitted mention of the iconic country musician.

The former Disney star went through the laundry list of people she wanted to thank -- her team, everyone onstage with her, her BF Maxx Morando, as well as her mom, Tish Cyrus, and sister, Brandi Cyrus -- but Billy didn't get a coveted shout-out.

The snub was even more pronounced as Miley made a concerted effort to ensure she didn't overlook anyone ... turning to her team behind her, asking: "Anyone else? Your wife, your fiancée, all the people that we love. Thank you all so much."

Even her undergarments got a playful shout-out, as she joked: "I don't think I forgot anyone. But, I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!" ... but as for a mention of Billy? Nada!

The omission may be a wholly innocent slip of the mind or may allude to an extension of reports from 2022 that Miley's relationship with Billy was strained following his divorce from Tish ... who attended the Grammys with her daughter.

Remember, Miley once shared a special bond with Billy who played a pivotal role in launching her career through "Hannah Montana" -- they shared the screen on all 4 seasons of the TV show, and the subsequent film.

If there is family tension, Miley didn't show it though -- she was glowing during the rest of her acceptance speech, saying: "This award is amazing, but I really hope it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday."

Miley added, "Not everyone will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don't think this is important, even though it's very important."

During the ceremony, she also had a pretty incredible live performance of "Flowers" -- and, apparently, does not need her pops to buy her any.

Miley Cyrus deja a su padre Billy Ray Cyrus Fuera del discurso de aceptación de los Grammy

REGALÁNDOLE FLORES
CBS

La gran noche de Miley Cyrus en los Grammy -en la que se llevó dos trofeos- está dando que hablar porque excluyó por completo a su padre, Billy Ray Cyrus, de su discurso de agradecimiento.

Miley se llevó primero el premio a la mejor actuación pop en solitario por su éxito "Flowers" antes de que la canción consiguiera el trofeo a la mejor grabación del año, y aunque le dio las gracias a varias personas clave en su vida en el escenario, omitió notablemente al icónico músico country.

La ex estrella de Disney nombró a su equipo, todo el mundo en el escenario con ella, su novio Maxx Morando, así como su madre, Tish Cyrus, y su hermana, Brandi Cyrus, pero no hubo mención a Billy.

El desaire fue aún más pronunciado cuando Miley hizo un esfuerzo concertado para asegurarse de que no pasaba por alto a nadie, dirigiéndose a su equipo detrás de ella, preguntando: "¿Alguien más? Tu mujer, tu prometida, toda la gente que queremos. Muchas gracias a todos".

Incluso su ropa interior recibió un juguetón saludo, bromeando: "No creo que me haya olvidado de nadie. Pero puede que me haya olvidado de la ropa interior. Adiós". ¿Alguna mención a Billy? Nada.

La omisión puede ser un desliz totalmente inocente o puede aludir a una extensión de los informes de 2022 que aseguran que la relación de Miley y Billy se tornó tensa después de su divorcio de Tish, que asistió a los Grammy con su hija.

Recordemos que Miley compartió un vínculo especial con Billy, quien jugó un papel fundamental en el lanzamiento de su carrera a través de "Hannah Montana", compartieron la pantalla durante las 4 temporadas de la serie de televisión y la película posterior.

Si hay tensión familiar, Miley no lo demostró, ella estaba radiante durante el resto de su discurso de aceptación, diciendo: "Este premio es increíble, pero realmente espero que no cambie nada porque mi vida era hermosa ayer".

Miley añadió: "No todo el mundo conseguirá un Grammy, pero todo el mundo es espectacular, así que por favor no piensen que esto es fundamental, aunque sí es un gran honor".

Durante la ceremonia, también tuvo una actuación en directo bastante increíble de "Flowers", y al parecer, no necesita que sus papás le compren ninguna.

Travis Scott Seems to Throw a Fit Onstage ... After Latest Grammys Loss

Feinin' For Recognition
CBS

Travis Scott got snubbed yet again at the Grammys -- and he seemed to let out his rage in the aftermath ... at least that's what some are perceiving from his WWE-style performance.

The rapper was fresh off another loss at Sunday's show -- with Killer Mike beating him out for Best Rap album, even though many thought 'Utopia' was a shoo-in -- and when TS hit the stage later for a live-music moment ... he appeared to address his anger about it.

Trav and Playboi Carti tag-teamed their song 'FE!N' ... and at one point, Travis started freaking out in the middle of the stage -- throwing around foldable chairs that were there, and even hitting some of the stage props around him.

Some assumed it was just part of his thing -- y'know, typical raging, etc. -- but it became clear to others that something else was going on ... namely, because of TS's own words.

Trav switched up some of the lyrics in the song and said "They slept on me 10 times!" -- obviously in reference to him being nominated 10 times at the Grammys but never winning.

Clearly, he felt some type of way about it -- and seems to have let it out in his art.

As for Killer Mike, well ... he was happy about being recognized -- but things took an ugly turn very soon after, when he got led away by cops in handcuffs. Win some, lose some.

Travis Scott parece desahogarse Durante su actuación en los Grammy

Travis Scott fue desairado una vez más en los Grammys y parecía dejar salir su rabia en las secuelas... al menos eso es lo que algunos están percibiendo de su actuación al estilo WWE.

El rapero recién había perdido antes de su show del domingo, con Killer Mike superándolo por Mejor Álbum de Rap, a pesar de que muchos pensaban que "Utopía" ganaba seguro, cuando Travis subió al escenario más tarde para dar un show donde parecía vomitar sus frustraciones.

Trav y Playboi Carti interpretó "FE!N" y por un momento, Travis comenzó a enloquecer en el centro del escenario, lanzando alrededor sillas plegables que estaban allí e incluso golpeando parte del escenario.

Algunos supusieron que era parte del show, ya sabes, la típica rabia, etc., pero otros se dieron cuenta de que no era así. Incluso hay quienes diucen saber la verdad de la propia voz de Travis, asegurando que dijo cosas en backstage.

Trav cambió algunas de las letras de la canción y dijo "¡Me durmieron 10 veces!". obviamente en referencia a que ha sido nominado 10 veces en los Grammy, pero nunca ha ganado.

Claramente dejó salir los sentimientos en su arte.

En cuanto a Killer Mike, bueno, estaba feliz de ser reconocido, pero las cosas tomaron un giro feo muy poco después cuando fue llevado esposado por policías... ya saben, veces se gana y a veces se pierde.

OLIVIA RODRIGO & TAYLOR SWIFT GIRL POWER AT THE GRAMMYS ... What Spat?! We Good!

"VAMPIRE" AT THE GRAMMYS

Taylor Swift was a sucker for Olivia Rodrigo's performance of "Vampire" ... debunking any beef rumors between them at the Grammys Sunday evening.

Olivia gave a bloody good rendition of the fiery tune ... with Tay Tay singing and dancing along -- something that didn't go unnoticed on Olivia's end as she blew her a kiss at the end ... signaling a mutual respect between the two.

The "Guts" singer Olivia returned the supportive favor ... standing up to clap for Taylor as she scooped the Best Pop Vocal Album. Yeah, you wouldn't be doing all that for your arch-nemesis, now would you?

The duo's fandom first speculated they were feuding when Olivia retroactively credited Swift and producer Jack Antonoff on her single "Deja Vu" -- though she's denied any clash between them since.

"I don't beef with anyone," Olivia clarified to Rolling Stone in Sept 2023  ... noting that falling out with someone was unlike her cause she's a chill person who keeps to herself.

She concluded on the matter: "There's nothing to say. There's so many Twitter conspiracy theories. I only look at alien-conspiracy theories." Underlying point, fandoms need to chill.

So, there you have it, folks ... things between O&T are good and had never soured in the first place.

This all was evident as Taylor was seen doing what she does best ... doling out a serious dose of girl power for her pals when they're killing it.

"Vampire" en los Grammys
CBS

Taylor Swift se quedó prendada de la interpretación de Olivia Rodrigo de "Vampire" este domingo en los Grammys, desmintiendo cualquier rumor de bronca entre ellas.

Olivia dio una buena interpretación de la poderosa melodía, con Tay Tay cantando y bailando durante toda la canción, algo que no pasó desapercibido para Olivia quien le lanzó un beso al final, lo que indica que hay un respeto mutuo entre ellas.

La cantante de "Guts" le devolvió el favor a Taylor, al ponerse de pie para aplaudir su premio al Mejor Álbum Pop Vocal. No harías todo eso por tu archienemiga, ¿o sí?

Los fans de las cantantes especularon que estaban peleadas cuando Olivia retroactivamente le dio crédito a Swift y al productor Jack Antonoff en su single "Deja Vu", aunque ella ha negado cualquier enfrentamiento entre ellas desde entonces.

"No me peleo con nadie", aclaró Olivia a Rolling Stone en septiembre de 2023, señalando que eso no es propio de ella, pues es una persona tranquila que se las vale sola.

Concluyó: "No hay nada que decir. Hay tantas teorías de la conspiración en Twitter. Yo solo miro teorías de conspiración alienígena". Punto subyacente, los fans necesitan calmarse.

Así que ahí lo tienen amigos, las cosas entre Olivia & Taylor están bien y nunca estuvieron mal en primer lugar.

Todo esto se hizo evidente cuando Taylor fue vista haciendo lo que mejor sabe hacer: repartir una buena dosis de girl power para sus amigas cuando están arrasando.

Taylor Swift's Grammys AOTY Awkwardly Ignores Celine Onstage ... Makes Up for It w/ Sweet Pic

CBS

Taylor Swift won Album of the Year (again) at the Grammys, but weirdly ignored the musical icon presenting in Celine Dion -- even though ... she paid her respects backstage, it seems.

Rare misstep for Tay Tay, who's usually on point ... but on Sunday night, she kinda screwed up -- at least in Twitter's eyes, anyway -- when she paid little to no attention to CD who announced her as the winner for AOTY ... which was a big deal for a lot of reasons.

It was the final award for the night -- and the largest prize at the Grammys, period -- which is why it was such a remarkable moment to see Celine come out to present it in person.

TMZ.com

Of course, she's very publicly battling Stiff-Person Syndrome -- and has stepped away from the spotlight of late -- so for her to do this was notable and moving, especially since she appeared to look relatively healthy here ... something the audience met with a standing O.

Fast-forward to Taylor being named the winner, when she ran onstage with her collaborators -- plus Lana Del Rey -- and looked so overcome with emotion that she totally downplayed Celine's presence ... simply taking the statuette from her without so much as a nod.

Indeed, it came off as quite rude -- you could tell Celine found it odd as well -- and the Internet unloaded on Taylor for what they perceived as a major lack of respect/reverence.

It would appear Taylor and/or team caught wind of this backlash quickly -- 'cause not too long after ... a photo of the two posing together (and looking cozy) backstage surfaced, which a ton of outlets then posted without much description or captions. Coincidence much?

Some are suggesting her PR machine kicked into high gear -- and perhaps it did. In any case, it sounds like T-Swift made things right with the legend ... all's well that ends well.

Travis Kelce Touches Down In Las Vegas For SB ... As Taylor Swift Cleans Up At Grammys

Travis Kelce couldn't attend the Grammys with Taylor Swift on Sunday night -- he was busy landing in Las Vegas to begin preparations for Super Bowl LVIII -- but he still managed to publicly support his girlfriend from hundreds of miles away.

The Chiefs star and his teammates touched down in Sin City at around 5 PM local time ... just as Swift was settling in her seat for the big music awards show in Los Angeles.

Kelce didn't appear to be sporting any overt homages to his GF as he left the plane to get ready for Super Bowl week -- he wore nothing more than a Nike sweatsuit, some shades and a Cincinnati Bearcats cap.

But, he did take to Instagram to show some love for his GF nonetheless.

The Kansas City tight end dropped a "like" on NPR's Grammys post -- which featured a pic of Swift on the red carpet.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Taylor, meanwhile, flew solo for her big night -- sitting with Lana Del Rey and Jack Antonoff ... before she took home multiple honors, including Album of the Year. She did not mention Kelce in either of her acceptance speeches.

It's unclear if she'll now join Kelce in Nevada later this week for his big moment -- she's performing in Tokyo before the game ... though most expect her to make it in time for kickoff.

As for Kelce's week, in addition to practicing for the 49ers, he's slated to meet with the media later Monday at Allegiant Stadium as part of Super Bowl Opening Night -- and you can bet there will be plenty of Swift questions directed his way there.

Taylor Swift posa con Celine Dion tras escándalo en los Grammy

Taylor Swift ganó el Álbum del Año (de nuevo) en los Grammy, pero ignoró al icono musical que la presentaba -Celine Dion- aunque, al parecer, sí presentó sus respetos en el backstage.

Fue un raro paso en falso para Tay Tay el domingo por la noche... como que metió la pata, al menos a los ojos de Tuiter, cuando le prestó muy atención a Celine, quien la anunció como la ganadora del AOTY (Album of the Year), y las cosas no salieron muy bien.

Fue el último premio de la noche y el premio más grande en los Grammys, por lo que fue notable ver a Celine salir a presentarlo en persona.

Es bien sabido que la icónica cantante está luchando contra el Síndrome de Stiff-Person y se ha alejado de los focos en los últimos tiempos, por lo que hacer esto fue notable y conmovedor, sobre todo porque lucía relativamente saludable... cosa que el público notó y celebró.

Nombraron a Taylor ganadora cuando corrió al escenario con sus colaboradores -además de Lana Del Rey- y parecía tan abrumada por la emoción que le restó importancia a la presencia de Celine, simplemente tomó la estatuilla sin mayor solemnidad.

De hecho, resultó bastante grosero - se podía decir que Celine lo encontró extraño también - e Internet se descargó contra Taylor por lo que percibieron como una gran falta de respeto / reverencia.

Al parecer, Taylor y su equipo se enteraron rápidamente de esta reacción, porque no mucho tiempo después apareció una foto de las dos posando juntas en el backstage, y un montón de medios de comunicación la publicaron rápidamentem, sin mucha descripción o subtítulos. ¿Coincidencia?

Phoebe Bridgers le dice a la ex directora de los Grammy Que "se pudra"

SIN CONTENERSE

Phoebe Bridgers tuvo un fuerte mensaje para el tipo que solía dirigir los Grammys. A pesar de que no está muerto todavía, le deseó una horrible despedida en el más allá una vez que llegue su día.

La cantante compartió sus duras palabras el domingo por la noche mientras hablaba con la prensa detrás del escenario después de la gran victoria de su grupo Boygenius, tomando un momento para enviarle un mensaje a Neil Portnow -el ex director general de la Academia de Grabación- y su infame sentimiento de hace unos años.

Échale un vistazo a lo que Phoebe tuvo que decir acerca de la nota que Neil hizo sobre las mujeres en la industria de la música hace 5 años, cuando les dijo que debían "dar un paso adelante" si querían ser nominadas. Ella dijo que espera que "se pudra en pis" una vez que muera...

Pohebe no ha olvidado que -por no mencionar el hecho de que está envuelto en una demanda- no hay que olvidar que agredió sexualmente a una mujer, algo que él ha negado rotundamente.

Sin embargo, Phoebe se descargó contra él, destacando su victoria y el hecho de que la Academia parece haberse olvidado de Portnow, y que hay más artistas femeninas nominadas que tal vez nunca antes.

Portnow no ha abordado sus comentarios y ha estado fuera del centro de atención por un tiempo, habiendo salido de su papel como perro superior en los Grammy en 2018 con Harvey Mason Jr. reemplazándolo.

Phoebe Bridgers To the Ex-Grammys CEO ... 'Rot in Piss' Over Remarks on Women

020524_boygenius_kal
NOT HOLDING BACK

Phoebe Bridgers had a strong message for the guy who used to run the Grammys -- even though he ain't dead yet ... she wished an awful farewell in the afterlife once his day comes.

The singer shared her harsh words Sunday night while talking to the press backstage after her group boygenius' big win ... taking a moment to single out Neil Portnow -- the former CEO of the Recording Academy -- and his infamous sentiment from a few years ago.

Check out what Phoebe had to say about NP's note to women in the music industry 5 years ago -- when he told them they should "step up" if they wanted to be nominated more. She said she hopes he "rots in piss" once he dies ... a twisted take on RIP, obviously.

Safe to say ... PB hasn't forgotten that, not to mention the fact that he's embroiled in a lawsuit that alleges he sexually assaulted a woman -- something he's adamantly denied.

Nevertheless, Phoebe unloaded on him ... highlighting her win, and the fact the Academy seems to have turned the page from Portnow, and that there's more female artists being nominated than perhaps ever before.

Portnow hasn't addressed her comments ... and he's been out of the spotlight for a while now, having exited his role as top dog at the Grammys in 2018 with Harvey Mason Jr. replacing him.

Guess Who This Grammy Girl Turned Into!

Before this sweet girl with lots of ponytails in her hair turned into a Grammy-winning singer, she was just applying her pink lipstick and growing up in London with big dreams of becoming a super star!

Yes, the 2019 Grammys was a big win for her, but she REALLY "danced the night away" at last night's award show! Aside from her musical skills, she's been tapping into her acting side, recently appearing in "Barbie" and "Argyle."

She's collaborated with music's hottest stars like Miley Cyrus and Elton John ...

"Don't Start Now!"

Can you guess who he is?

Adivina en quién ¡se ha convertido esta pequeña!

Antes de que esta dulce chica con muchas colas de caballo en el pelo se convirtiera en una cantante ganadora del Grammy, ¡solo se aplicaba su lápiz labial rosa y crecía en Londres con grandes sueños de convertirse en una súper estrella!

Sí, los Grammy 2019 fueron una gran victoria para ella, ¡pero REALMENTE "bailó toda la noche" en la entrega de premios de anoche! Aparte de sus habilidades musicales, ha estado aprovechando su lado actoral, apareciendo recientemente en "Barbie" y "Argyle".

Ha colaborado con estrellas de la música como Miley Cyrus y Elton John.

Taylor Swift I'm a 13x Grammy Winner ... Also, New Album Coming Out!!!

a new era ... coming soon!
CBS

Taylor Swift just won her latest Grammy (#13 to be specific) -- but the bigger news came in what she said during her acceptance speech ... namely, announcing a brand new album.

The singer was announced as the winner for Best Pop Vocal Album for "Midnights" Sunday night -- and Tay Tay went up there to accept her hardware ... like we said, this marks her 13th Grammy statuette, something she made a note of right from the get-go at the mic.

Taylor then started teasing some major news -- which got the crowd whipped up into a frenzy. Eventually, she let the cat out of the bag ... T-Swift has a new project coming soon.

She says the forthcoming album -- one she says she's been working on in secret for the past two years, unbeknownst to her fans -- is called 'The Tortured Poets Department,' and it's dropping on April 19.

Shortly after winning her award/making her big announcement ... Taylor went backstage and uploaded a tweet that showed off what seems to be the album cover, as well as some apparent lyrics. They're interesting ... they certainly read like a traditional poem, super deep.

As you can imagine, the Swifties are absolutely losing their minds right now -- 'cause this truly did come out of nowhere. Up until now, people figured she was busy re-recording her old albums and was focusing on just that for the time being.

She released two "Taylor's Version" albums last year ... and seemed to have her hands full on that front. Plus, she's been knee-deep in performing for the "Eras" tour -- not to mention being in a whirlwind romance with Travis Kelce. As it turns out, she was laying down tracks for a whole new project in the wings ... and now, we're going to hear fresh material.

If you thought Taylor was already on top of the world -- and she most certainly is -- that mountain top is only going to get higher at this point. 2023 was Taylor's year ... ditto for '24.

Premios Grammy ¡¡Los mejores momentos de la noche más grande de la música!!

Es ese momento del año otra vez ... La noche de los Grammys está a punto de comenzar y para prepararse tenemos un resumen con algunos de los mejores momentos de estos 66 años de historia de la ceremonia.

Ya se trate de Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift o Lionel Richie, los Premios Grammy están siempre llenos de un montón de estrellas, y más de unos cuantos momentos del tipo, "¿puedes creer lo que acaba de pasar?"

Nota importante para todas las estrellas en la noche de los Grammys, ¡recuerden llevar pantalones! Puede parecer un consejo obvio, pero al parecer nadie le dijo a Steve Martin o Jon Stewart lo importante que sería el vestuario.

Echa un vistazo, Steve Martin se bajó los pantalones en la 21ª edición de los Grammy en 1979, mientras que Stewart recreó el momento casi 25 años después, en 2002. ¡Bonitas piernas, chicos!

Madonna parecía una visión en rojo durante el acto de apertura en 1999, tocando "Nothing Really Matters" mientras el público miraba con asombro.

Y, ¿quién puede olvidar cuando Billie Eilish y su hermano Finneas necesitaron una maldita carretilla para llevar todos sus premios a casa? Billie se llevó cinco trofeos en 2020, y ni ella ni Finneas podían creerse lo que estaba pasando.

¿Y qué habría sido de los Grammy sin Britney Spears, quien lucía tan angelical en un vestido completamente blanco en la 42ª edición anual de los Grammy en 2000? Fue nominada a dos trofeos ese año, pero perdió en ambos. De hecho, pasaría media década antes de que finalmente consiguiera su primer, y único, Grammy.

Lo más importante, los Grammy son una fiesta, así que levantemos una copa con Queen Bey, Adele y el superagente Rich Paul y brindemos por la entrega de premios que comienza este domingo a las 5 PM PT solo en CBS.

Y el Grammy es para ...

Grammy Awards Biggest Moments From The Biggest Night In Music!!!

It's that time of the year again ... Grammys night is almost upon us -- and we've got a recap of some of the best moments from the ceremony's 66-year history.

Whether it's Kanye West, Prince, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, or Lionel Richie ... the Grammy Awards are always packed with tons of star power -- and more than a few "can you believe that just happened?" moments.

Big note to all stars on Grammys night ... remember to bring pants -- which may seem like an obvious piece of advice, but apparently no one told Steve Martin or Jon Stewart just how important wardrobe would be.

Check it out ... SM dropped trou at the 21st Grammys way back in 1979 while Stewart recreated the moment almost 25 years later in 2002. Nice legs, boys!

Madonna looked like a vision in red during the show's opening act in 1999 ... jamming "Nothing Really Matters" while the packed audience looked on in sheer wonder.

And, who can forget when Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas needed a damn wheelbarrow to haul all their trophies home??? Billie took home five trophies in 2020, and neither she nor Finneas could really believe what was happening.

Would it even be the Grammys without Britney Spears ... who looked so angelic in an all-white gown at the 42nd annual Grammys in 2000. She was nominated for two trophies that year, but lost on both. In fact, it would be half a decade before she finally got her first -- and only -- Grammy Award.

Most importantly, the Grammys are a party ... so let's raise a glass with Queen Bey, Adele, and superagent Rich Paul and toast to the awards show that's kicking off this Sunday at 5 PM PT only on CBS.

And the Grammy goes to ...
