LOS ANGELES, Feb 11 — Cuban-American star Camila Cabello took the stage today to kick off the Grammys, the music world’s top awards, in which hip-hop royalty and talented women lead the nomination pack.
Cabello performed her mega-hit Havana at the Staples Centre with several special guests including Ricky Martin.
Folk rocker Brandi Carlile — the night’s most nominated woman — jumped to an early lead in the show’s pre-gala ceremony with three trophies, while heavyweights Lady Gaga, Childish Gambino and Kacey Musgraves all notched two awards each.
Women snagged five of the eight Album of the Year nominations: Cardi B, Carlile, pop futurist Janelle Monae, R&B prodigy H.E.R. and country star Musgraves are in the running. — AFP
