The Best Twitter Reactions to the 2021 Grammy Awards
Two words: Harry! Styles!
Tonight, the 2021 Grammys are being hosted in front of a limited audience at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah, the show's host, continues to be a breath of fresh air and the show couldn't have started off more perfectly than with Harry Styles and his boa singing "Watermelon Sugar." (FYI, he's wearing custom Gucci.) Immediately afterwards, Billie Eilish and Haim performed, then Megan Thee Stallion won "Best New Artist." And, yes, that was only the beginning.
See the best and funniest Twitter reactions to the 2021 Grammys, below. We'll continue to update this post throughout the night.
