Expect the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements to be heard at this weekend’s Grammy Awards.
“Artists, particularly music artists, are more than music and lyrics,” the show’s executive producer Ken Ehrlich told Cheddar. “We feel it’s important to be a forum for that, as long as it’s responsible and it stays within the limits of what the FCC says you can’t say on TV.“
Celebrities have used this awards season as a platform to speak out against sexual harassment, starting with wearing all-black attire and #TimesUp pins at the Golden Globes earlier this month.
For the Grammys, artists will sport white roses, a statement reportedly started by Roc Nation senior vice president Meg Harkins and Interscopes Karen Rait.
But it won’t all be about politics. Ehrlich didn’t spill any details about the widely-discussed first act for the 60th annual ceremony, but he teased that it’s “something you don’t want to miss.”
“The opening number is not [host] James Corden,” he confirmed. “They’re are artists that have been on our show before, but they’re doing something that you’ve never seen before.”
