Alicia Keys steals the show with Grammys medley featuring Coldplay, Drake, Juice WLRD, and more: Watch
Alicia Keys pulled double duty tonight at the 61st Grammy Awards. Along with hosting the ceremony, the R&B singer stole the spotlight as a performer.
Keys, armed with not one but two pianos, played her own original hit (“Empire State of Mind”), as well as a wide-ranging medley of cover songs. She took on Coldplay (“Clocks”), Drake (“In My Feelings”), Kings of Leon (“Use Somebody”), Ella Mai (“Boo’d Up”), and even “Lucid Dreams” by emo rapper Juice WRLD. Additionally, she performed a bit of “Killing Me Softly” to honor Roberta Flack, who celebrated her 81st birthday one Sunday (the song was, of course, later famously covered by Lauryn Hill and The Fugees).
