The 66th Annual Grammy Awards wrapped up last night, and some artists certainly got their flowers (Miley Cyrus). Last month, I took a shot at predicting the outcome of some categories in rock, alternative and general song and album categories. I was pleasantly surprised by the predictions I got wrong—here’s my recap of who won, as well as some exciting surprises that unfolded during the live broadcast.
Best Alternative Music Performance
Rockhound prediction: Boygenius (Cool About It)
Grammy winner: Paramore (This Is Why)
This award was not shown on the live broadcast, so I found out that Paramore won about two hours beforehand. I’m so happy my prediction was wrong for this category! Paramore have been fierce pioneers...
