Given the prominence of social media today, there really is no time to pause and reflect. Tweets, blog posts and Instagram's were flying last night, mere seconds and minutes after anything remotely exciting happened during the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. I know this because I was one of the ones reading all those tweets and blog posts as I attempted to do homework. I have two words for you: BAD. IDEA. But none the less I got my work done and was still able to know everything that anyone who was actually watching the awards would know. Which got me thinking. Have we really become those people who don't even need to know what happened in order to know what happened? We can find summaries and synopsis and hysterical responses to TV shows, movies, books and award shows without even watching the even first hand.
I knew that Kristen Wiig emerged on stage as Sia and I wasn't even watching it on a TV! I knew Kanye attempted to pull another Kanye when Beck won Best Album over Queen B. (tear...but also....thank god right? It's time a littler guy got noticed). And I think I probably read thirty different hysteric reiterations of Sam Smith's acceptance speech where he "thanked his ex for breaking his heart and creating four Grammy winning hits". All without pressing a button on my TV remote. I was both fascinated and appalled that I could get instant updates and play by plays of one of the biggest nights in music without even watching it unfold with my own eyes. It certainly got me thinking. But anyways, now on to the fun stuff.
Everyone knows that an award show is never JUST an award show. It's a fashion show! The only reason we tune in to these things other than the music and live performances is for the clothes! And so I thought it only natural to provide this Internet world with another compilation of what I considered to be the best looks of the night.
So feast, your eyes....cuz to be honest, I was thoroughly impressed with what I saw. (And no I am NOT looking at you RiRi)
Hope you all had a fantastic Monday. Chat soon!
