Ka përfunduar edicioni i 61-të i mbrëmjes më të madhe muzikore të fitit, “Grammy Awards”.

Pas performancave të shkëlqyera nga shumë prej artistëve botërore, iu dha edhe fundit i mbrëmjes më të rëndësishme të ndarjes së çmimeve këtë vit.

Ky edicion ishte aq më tepër i rëndësishëm për shqiptarët, pasi këngëtarja me prejardhje nga Kosova, Dua Lipa, ia doli të fitojë çmimin “Kënga më e mirë ritmike”, për këngën “Electricity” (bashkëpunim me Mark Ronson dhe Diplo).

Në këtë mbrëmje nuk mungoi ai shqiptarja tjetër e famshme, Bebe Rexha, e cila është dukur e mahnitshme me paraqitjen e saj.

Përveç performancave, nata e “Grammy”-t dhuroi edhe shumë çmime, disa prej të cilave u bën të ditur ende pa nisur paraqitja e yjeve në tapetin e kuq.
