Did you watch?

Last night’s Beyoncé-less, Rihanna-less, Kanye-less Grammys had a sprinkle of everything: Silk Sonic‘s silky extravagance, Doja Cat scampering to stage from the ladies room, Jazmine Sullivan FINALLY receiving her long-overdue flowers, something called a SOJA winning Best Reggae Album, SZA wobbling around on crutches, and other shenanigans on the music’s biggest (and shiniest) night.

Some of the night’s buzziest performances included Justin Bieber, Giveon & Daniel Caesar smoothing things out with “Peaches,” Nas running through a medley of classics, Silk Sonic blessing us with the stone-cold groove that is “777,” and Lil Nas X vibing with BFF Jack Harlow.

The somewhat star-studded spectacle came just a week after a certain somebody did you-know-what at that other major awards show in a now infamous moment that didn’t seem to loom over the glitzy occasion.

In a night with so much going on, it was SZA’s crutches that stole the show and stirred up hilarious chaos across the internet.

There also were some powerful speeches from stars like Jazmine Sullivan who took home 2 Grammys for Best R&B album (‘Heaux Tales’) and Best R&B Performance (‘Pick Up Your Feelings’).

“Heaux Tales ended up being a safe space for Black women to tell their stories, for us to learn from each other, laugh with each other, and not be exploited … shout out to all Black women who are just living their lives and being beautiful,” she said during her acceptance speech.

What was your fave moment from the 2022 Grammys? Tell us down below and peep the funniest (and pettiest) tweets from the 2022 Grammys on the flip.

“I’d encourage everyone to listen to that SOJA album before rushing to negative judgement. I cued it up on Tidal just now and I can honestly say I didn’t make it past track two, because it was hot garbage. But now at least I *know* I’m right” – haaaa

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
