The K-Pop stans are mad, but Olivia Dean winning Best New Artist is a victory for real musicianship. She writes her own songs, plays her own instruments, and has a voice like velvet. In an era of manufactured viral stars, rewarding a soulful British singer-songwriter feels incredibly grounded. If you haven't heard 'Messy' or her debut album yet, go listen. She is the real deal, not just a product of a label machine.

It is officially time to close the debate: Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of all time. Passing Jay-Z for the most Grammys (27 wins!) proves that he has the longevity and the quality. 'Luther' with SZA wasn't just a hit; it was a vocal masterpiece that bridged R&B and Rap perfectly. While other rappers are chasing TikTok trends, Kendrick is still making art that clears the board. We are lucky to be witnessing his prime.

People forgetting that Kendrick has an insane catalog of hits beyond just the recent diss tracks. 'DNA', 'Humble', 'Alright', 'Money Trees'—the energy in that stadium is going to be electric. He is arguably the greatest live performer in rap right now because he doesn't rely on backing tracks; he actually raps every bar. I’m expecting high-concept visuals, marching bands, and zero gimmicks. This is going to be top 3 halftime shows of all time, right up there with Prince and Dre.
