Host Alicia Keys ends 2020 Grammys on right note

Grammy host Alicia Keys set a perfect tone towards the end of the 62nd edition of the awards on Sunday and gave a soothing-yet-empowering mash-up melody.

The performance was then followed by her pitching towards for a happier, brighter, and positive space as it is the new decade.

"We refuse the negative energy. We refuse the whole system. Feel me on that. We want to be respected and safe in our diversity. We want to be shifting to realness and inclusivity," she said.

From Billie Eilish to Lizzo to Ariana to Beyonce, the Grammy host addressed them for their incredible talent and the accolades gained.

"We've got the incredible Billie Eilish right here in this building! That's right, that's my little sister right there. We got Lizzo who just owned the stage -- eight nominations and already a winner tonight. We have the magnificent Ariana right here in the building tonight! That's right, you see us? Unstoppable," she continued.

Earlier at the beginning of the 62nd edition of Annual Grammy Awards, the host took off on an on a sombre tone with the news of legendary basketball player Kobe Bryant's death.

Alicia Keys paid tribute to the star who lost his life in a helicopter crash at the age of 34 along with his nine-year-old daughter.
