Jelly Roll Delivers Emotional Speech After Winning at the Grammys for the First Time
Before Sunday night, Jelly Roll had never won a Grammy. Now, he's a three-time winner.
During the 68th Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, the country star took home three awards, winning every category he was nominated in.
Two were awarded before the live broadcast began: Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Amen" with Shaboozey and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for "Hard Fought Hallelujah" with Brandon Lake.
But the most memorable win took place during the live show. There, Jelly Roll was awarded the award for Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken. This year marked the first time the country music album category was divided into Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Traditional Country Album.
In his inspiring acceptance speech, the singer reflected on his past struggles with substance abuse and incarceration, using the moment to remind fans that it’s never too late to change your life.
"I know they're going to try to kick me off here, so just let me try to get this out. First of all, Jesus, I hear you and I'm listening, Lord, I am listening, Lord," Jelly Roll began, before addressing his wife Bunnie XO. "Second of all, I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you. I would've ended up dead or in jail. I would've killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus."
"It was a time in my life, y'all, that I was I was broken. That's why I wrote this album," he continued after thanking his record label. "I didn't think I had a chance, y'all. There was days that I thought the darkest things, I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life, that all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size as a 6'8 foot cell, and I believe that those two things could change my life."
"I believe that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life," he concluded. "And I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus, is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus, and anybody can have a relationship with him. I love you, Lord."

While promoting “Hard Fought Hallelujah” earlier this year, Jelly Roll discussed his faith and what brought him to Christianity. Though he was baptized at 14, the singer became troubled in his teenage years and began experimenting with drugs.
Over the course of a decade, he was arrested multiple times for selling drugs and at one point was charged with armed robbery. After learning he had a daughter while incarcerated in 2008, Jelly Roll decided to turn his life around.
“I might wear it a little different than other people; I might say things that other Christians don’t think are right to say, but ultimately, I have a heart for God and I have a heart for Jesus.” he said during an interview with K-Love.
Lake added that Jelly Roll’s story of redemption is what made him the perfect collaborator for “Hard Fought Hallelujah”.
“I wanted to share this song with somebody that had a really beautiful and hard-fought story, and the first person that came to mind was Jelly,” Lake said.
Trevor Noah Sends a Direct Message to Donald Trump at 2026 Grammys
At the 2026 Grammy Awards, host Trevor Noah took the stage with more than just simple jokes, delivering a not-so-subtle and strong political message aimed at none other than President Donald Trump.
No stranger to the gig, the former The Daily Show star hosted the event for the sixth consecutive year and has received consistent praise in the past for his charisma and comedic timing. This time around was no different.
During his opening monologue, the 41-year-old spoke out about several current events, but it was his dig at Nicki Minaj and her sudden, very vocal viewpoints on Trump that turned heads. "Nicki Minaj is not here," he quipped. “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”
Though attacking heavy content, he weaved humor into the theme seamlessly while making sure to still get the point across.
After commenting on how this year will be his last as host of the Grammys, Noah sent a direct message to the 79-year-old politician, urging, "I believe in term limits. I wanted to set an example for anyone who might be watching the show. Leave when your time is up."

— Deadline (@DEADLINE) February 2, 2026 Trevor Noah Says GoodbyeIt was confirmed earlier this month that 2026 is Noah's last time taking the host mic for Music's Biggest Night. “I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” the production's executive producer Ben Winston confirmed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
At the 68th Annual ceremony, he opened up about his six-year stint and saying goodbye, commenting on his final turn at the gig. “One thing I wanted to mention is that after 54 years, the Grammys is leaving its home on CBS. Yeah. The Grammys have actually been on CBS since way back in 1973, when they started as an NCIS spinoff. Same goes for me, this is my sixth and last year hosting the Grammys. I’ve loved my time, but I believe in term limits," he said.

'80s Heavy Metal Band Set for First-Ever North America Tour After 45 Years
WARLORD is set for a long-awaited milestone this year as the heavy metal band embarks on its first-ever North American tour.
Formed in the early ‘80s by drummer Mark Zonder and the late guitarist William Tsamis, the band is celebrated for pioneering the dark epic metal genre and has spent decades captivating fans with its electrifying stage presence.

‘When Calls the Heart’ Stars Viv Leacock and Natasha Burnett Reveal What’s Next for Their Characters This Season (Exclusive)
This season on When Calls the Heart, the Canfield family has had a lot to deal with - especially Joe (Viv Leacock) and Minnie (Natasha Burnett).
The two had to say goodbye to their daughter, Angela (Vienna Leacock), as she headed off to college for the first time. Meanwhile, their son Cooper (Elias Leacock) is now Suspect #1 in the investigation into the cause of the wildfires that burned down Goldie National Park and the town of Benson Hills. Should it be determined that he and Toby (Billy Christos Jr.) were the cause of the fire, their families could be financially liable to all the property owners who lost their homes and businesses. With that weighing heavily on their minds, Minnie has been looking into various side hustles to generate more income should they need to hire a lawyer for Cooper.
Parade had an opportunity to chat with Burnett and Leacock about their character's story arcs in this season of When Calls the Heart.
Natasha Burnett as Minnie in 'When Calls the Heart'What do you think is going through Minnie's mind with Angela off at college and Cooper in the forest with the fire raging on, with her helpless to do much of anything?
Natasha Burnett: Minnie, at this point, is beside herself and feels completely helpless, knowing she can do nothing to reach Cooper. It’s the same powerlessness she felt when Angela was turned away at the hospital in their previous town. With Angela building her own life at college and Cooper in danger, this hits her hard. She’s losing her protective hold on those she loves most, and she can’t shield them forever, no matter how fiercely she tries. As a woman of God, though, this helplessness draws her closer to prayer. She leans on her faith to surrender what she can’t control.
What is in store for Minnie this season? While she agreed to take on teaching duties, she no longer has to, but the opportunity to do something new was there, and it looks like she is interested in pursuing something new. Can you talk about that?
Burnett: This season is an exciting turning point for Minnie. The idea of taking on teaching duties really gave her pause and reminded her that there are still things she may want to achieve. With the kids growing up and finding their own way, she finally accepts it’s time to revisit her own aspirations and the sky’s the limit for her.
An unexpected and slightly overwhelming new opportunity arises, one that genuinely intrigues her. We will get to see her navigate the uncertainty and excitement of this next chapter, leading us to a heartfelt, well-earned moment of personal accomplishment. It’s an important season for Minnie’s growth.

Can you break down what might be going through Joseph's mind as he's in the park looking for Cooper and Toby, and/or perhaps how you, as a father, would feel in the same situation looking for your son?
Viv Leacock: What might be going through Joseph's mind would be on everything anyone who lived through those times would be thinking. Did the kids manage to already get themselves out? Did I hammer home proper instructions about what to do in a forest fire?? Any sense of calm in a situation like that relies on how much faith you have in the children and their abilities. Without having any way of communicating with the kids to figure out where they would go, you would have to trust your instincts so much.
We all put a lot of thought into these scenes. For instance, Joseph would naturally let Nathan and Bill take the lead, with their intimate knowledge of the area and trails and places to go, as they both have lived in Hope Valley longer than the Canfields. I don't doubt that Joseph would say a prayer for all their safety as they sped off into the fire.
In terms of how I would feel in the same situation, most of what I said about how Joseph would be thinking correlates to what would be going through my mind. The main difference would be that my kid, Elias, is a city boy, like me. If he were caught in the middle of a forest fire without a proper way to communicate with me??! There wouldn't be anyone on the planet who would be able to stop me from taking off into the middle of that inferno!! I have always enjoyed a very special connection with members of my family. As a kid, when I was growing up, and now with my wife and three children, we are "in each other's heads." I would lean on that ability to help me find my boy but also have faith that the proper authorities could locate them safe and sound.
Does Joseph rely on his faith to carry him through?
Leacock: Speaking of faith, I don't think it's a question of faith for Joseph. I think his faith is so absolute and that it is woven into who he is, so much so that it has become the way he does everything. He would never have to think about keeping his faith, as he has given himself over to it. His faith precedes him into any room. If you ever see Joseph struggling, it is because he has used reason to fix a problem...and reason asks questions. Given that there are so many variables that govern how you or someone else might react when times get hard...how many times emotions corrupt outcomes and muddy the waters... I think it's good to have faith...there are no questions with faith.
Your Classic Rock Anthem, Based on Birth Month

Pepper, it can never hurt to have a classic rock anthem in your back pocket. Blasting your favorite go-to track that you’ve loved and had on repeat for decades can whip up your inner drive, help you feel more in sync with your most genuine self, and fuel well-deserved inner peace.

Your Classic Rock Anthem, Based on Your Birth MonthRead on to learn which classic rock song is your anthem, based on the month you were born.
January: “Don’t Stop Believin’” by JourneyIf you were born during the first month of the year, you were born while the sun was moving through hardworking, traditionalist Capricorn or humanitarian, tech-savvy, eccentric Aquarius. Both signs are no stranger to putting their nose to the grindstone to achieve a bold goal, thanks to being ruled by taskmaster Saturn, which is why this timeless 1981 hit — frequently used in movies and TV shows — resonates with your industrious, laser-focused spirit. No matter how tough life gets, you’re capable of believing in your ability to make your wildest dreams real.
February: “With a Little Help From My Friends” by The BeatlesBorn when the sun was moving through group-oriented fixed air sign Aquarius or romantic mutable water sign Pisces, it’s important for you to feel like you’re surrounded by like-minded people who have your back, which is a central theme of this 1967 Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.track by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. You feel like you can accomplish anything if you have a “little help” from your social circle, and the lyrics “I just need someone to love” reflect your sensitive heart and thirst for connection.
MORE: Your Dolly Parton Song, Based on Birth Month
March: “Heroes” by David BowieBecause you were born while the sun was moving through empathic mutable water sign Pisces or go-getter cardinal fire sign Aries, you’re in tune with your impulses and have a vivid imagination. That vibe is reflected by Bowie’s 1977 art rock song, which touches on themes of love, fear, dreams, and defiance — all of which reflect how motivated you are to make the most of every moment, whether by swimming in the deepest emotions or chasing down your loftiest, most courageous aspirations.
April: “Eye of the Tiger” by SurvivorBorn when the sun was moving through Aries, the competitive, action-oriented cardinal fire sign, or Taurus, the down-to-earth, sensual fixed earth sign, you don’t shy away from taking on massive undertakings and have plenty of motivation to reach whatever finish line you set your sights on. Survivor’s 1982 hard rock-meets-post-disco hit, which was the theme song for Rocky III, is a classic that reflects your determination, self-reliance, and ability to turn adversity into fuel for catalyzing any vision you lock into.
May: “Learning to Fly” by Tom PettyWhether you were born when the sun was moving through mindful, grounded fixed earth sign Taurus or lighthearted, fun-loving, social mutable air sign Gemini, you’re resilient and know the power of letting go in order to simply see where the moment leads, which mirrors the message and feeling underlying Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1991 classic. Petty’s airy, introspective lyrics resonate with your identity as an adaptable, lifelong learner who’s eager to soak up knowledge and be present — all while pursuing growth and following your heart.

June: “Don’t Stop Me Now” by QueenBorn when the sun was in either curious, bubbly, on-the-go mutable air sign Gemini or innately caregiving, emotionally intelligent, protective cardinal water sign Cancer, you know how to practice mindfulness and be absolutely present in any given moment. You brighten others’ lives simply by showing up and being your playful, magnetic self, which is why the classic rock tune that most reflects your energy has to be “Don’t Stop Me Now.” The upbeat, joyful 1979 tune celebrates having fun and being on the move — something you know quite a bit about and pretty much live for.
July: “Sunshine of Your Love” by CreamThis 1967 hard rock-meets-psychedelica song was written as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, and its themes are undeniably in line with your nature as a sensitive, intuitive, nurturing cardinal water sign, Cancer, or optimistic, cheerful, action-oriented fixed fire sign, Leo. You’re someone who is no stranger to wearing rose-colored glasses and reveling in passionate, heartfelt emotions — two experiences that this tune, which touches on transcendent intimacy, weaves throughout its lyrics and driving beat.
August: “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood MacWhether you were born under regal, theatrical, upbeat fixed fire sign Leo or service-oriented, sensitive, social mutable earth sign Virgo, you’re wired to plan, act, and problem-solve as an especially action-oriented and detail-driven person. You’re pretty much the last person to let life run over you; you’d much prefer to figure out a way to push forward, no matter what, which is why Christine McVie’s sunny, proactive track, off 1977’s Rumours mirrors your M.O. There’s really no world in which you couldn’t “stop thinking about tomorrow” — and you’re pretty certain it’ll be “better than before.”
LEARN: What Your Mayan Astrology Sign Reveals About You and Your Life Path
September: “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)” by Talking HeadsBorn under either intuitive mutable earth sign Virgo or partnership-oriented, beauty-loving cardinal air sign Libra, you’re invested in expressing yourself creatively to make life even more gorgeous, peaceful, and fulfilling. You also love being at home with your nearest and dearest and often show love by making your shared environment more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. That’s why Talking Heads’ 1983 closing track of their fifth studio album Speaking in Tongue feels right up your alley. You understand that home is an emotion, and feeling bonded to someone who gets you only serves to bolster that sense of groundness you’re often seeking (“Feet on the ground, head in the sky/It's OK, I know nothing's wrong, nothing”).
October: “God Only Knows” by The Beach BoysDuring your birth month, the sun moves through balance-seeking social butterfly cardinal air sign Libra and fearless fixed water sign Scorpio, which means you’re a highly relationship-oriented person who is laser-focused on connecting with others in a deep, meaningful way. That’s why Brian Wilson’s 1966 track off of Pet Sounds speaks to your soul. You absolutely understand the sentiment of being truly lost without having someone special by your side and you’re also a pro at letting that person know that, “as long as there are stars” above them, you’ll always love them.
November: “Kashmir” by Led ZeppelinWhether you were born under the dynamic, magnetic fixed water sign Scorpio or the wanderlust-filled mutable fire sign Sagittarius, you’re generous, devoted to those you love, and big fan of pursuing heartfelt bonds and spiritual and personal growth. In turn, Led Zeppelin's 1975 mystical, spiritually charged classic “Kashmir” is a match for your energy. Centered on seeking truth beyond what’s right in front of you, this epic classic, which subtly builds over the course of eight-plus minutes, resonates with your search for meaning.
NEXT: Which Chinese Zodiac Signs Are Luckiest in 2026?
December: “Bohemian Rhapsody" by QueenBorn with your sun in either adventurous mutable fire sign Sagittarius or industrious cardinal earth sign Capricorn, you’re goal-oriented and pretty much always up for a wild ride. You certainly appreciate theatrical, over-the-top works of art and are ever-changing and adaptable. That said, Queen’s shapeshifting 1975 classic fits your M.O. Featuring a guitar solo that morphs into an opera section, a ballad section, and a hard rock moment, the song takes you on a journey that you’re more than thrilled to go on alongside Freddy Mercury and co.

Chappell Roan's Grammys Dress Is Literally Held Up by Body Piercings
It’s Sunday, February 1, and the 2026 Grammy Awards are officially underway. While fans are settling in to watch music’s biggest night unfold, celebrities are hitting the red carpet with show-stopping looks destined to dominate social media for days. The latest to turn heads? Chappell Roan.
The 27-year-old "Good Luck, Babe!" singer — one of the night’s announced presenters — stepped out in a sheer burgundy Mugler gown that, according to Harper's Bazaar, was "draped from nipple rings that floated down her body and into a long train behind her.”
Underneath it all was a barely-there, nude “second-skin” layer printed with tattoo-style designs, including a cheeky “princess” tramp stamp. Styled by longtime collaborator Genesis Webb, the look was finished with matching underwear, a gold choker, and open-toe heels.

While chatting with E! ahead of the ceremony, Roan admitted she felt “overstimulated” by the experience. “People are just filming you and you don’t know what you’re doing with it,” she said, calling the red carpet “the hardest of the whole night” for her. Still, she made it clear she was in good spirits. “I’m not performing this year,” she added. “So this is a piece of cake.”
This is hardly the first time Roan has commanded attention with her fashion choices. At the 2025 Grammys, where she took home Best New Artist, she hit the red carpet in a Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2003 couture gown that ABC News described as “a frilly, multi-tiered tulle gown.”

Later that spring, Vogue reported that she made her Met Gala debut in “an incredibly glittery patchwork pink suit” created with Paul Tazewell, complete with sequins, oversized texture, and full maximalist glam.

She’s nominated at the 2026 Grammys for both Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “The Subway,” a track that debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 last summer.

Yungblud and Sharon Osbourne Honor Ozzy With Emotional Tribute at 2026 Grammy Awards
Yungblud arrived at the 2026 Grammy Awards carrying more than just first-time nominee nerves—he was also honoring one of rock’s most influential figures.
While speaking with E! News on the red carpet Sunday, February 1, the 28-year-old rocker shared that the night before the ceremony was spent in quiet reflection with Sharon Osbourne, paying tribute to her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne.
“I was with Sharon last night. We lit a little candle. It’s pretty mental. It’s amazing to be here. It’s my first Grammys—my mom’s come in from England, which is cool—but yeah man. It all goes to Ozzy tonight.” he stated to the outlet.
Later that evening, Yungblud’s tribute took center stage when he won Best Rock Performance for his cover of “Changes,” originally recorded by Black Sabbath. He brought Sharon onstage during his acceptance speech, using the moment to celebrate the past, present, and future of rock music. “Rock music is coming back. Watch out pop music, we’re gonna f**kin’ get ya!” he declared before ending his speech.

But before that, Yungblud also reflected on Ozzy’s influence on his life and career in a speech. “To grow up loving an idol that helps you figure out your identity, not only as a musician but also as a man, is something that I’m truly grateful for,” he said, But then to get to know them, and form a relationship with them, honor them at their final show, and receive this because of it, is strange to understand.” He added off, before Sharon and her family,“We f**king love you, Ozzy.”

Tim McGraw’s NHL Game Performance Draws Criticism From Fans
Tim McGraw caused a stir during his performance at an NHL Stadium Series game on Sunday, Feb. 1.
The country star performed during the intermission of the matchup between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins. The game, which was played at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium, marked the first time in NHL history that an outdoor game was played in a football stadium in the state of Florida.
But while the venue made history, McGraw’s performance quickly became the night’s most talked-about moment. After his set, some fans took to social media to share their disappointment, with several calling it one of the singer’s “worst” performances.
"This Tim McGraw thing is simply one of the worst live vocal performances I've ever heard," wrote one user on X. "He seems like a nice guy and his vibe is all good but woof, the man can't sing."
"Is nobody going to talk about how bad this Tim McGraw performance is during the @NHL game in Tampa? It is really him? Is he lip syncing? WHAT IS HAPPENING," said another.
"This Tim McGraw intermission might be the worst performance i've ever seen," added a third. "This Tim McGraw performance at the NHL stadium series is laughably bad. Zero energy. They didn't even try and hide the lip syncing." said a fourth.

During the performance, McGraw performed a ten-minute medley of his greatest hits on a pirate ship themed stage.
“We decided to put together a medley of some of our favorite things, some of the things that we thought most people would like to hear,” McGraw said in a pregame press conference. “Which is the first time we've ever done a medley, by the way. I'm not a big medley fan. This one turned out pretty good.”
“It's gonna be a fun night,” he continued. “I mean, with all the bells and whistles it’s going to feel like a real concert, like, on tour with all that stuff going on. I wish I could play longer."

Trevor Noah Sends Political Message About Nicki Minaj at Grammy Awards
Trevor Noah sent a political message about Nicki Minaj and President Donald Trump at the 2026 Grammy Awards during his opening monologue.
On Sunday, Feb. 1, the Grammys kicked off at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif., with Noah as its host once again.
To start the star-studded awards show, Noah went around to several tables to point out celebrities and crack jokes. He stopped a few minutes in to point out, "Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here," prompting the audience to cheer.
"She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues," he continued, before adding in a Trump impersonation, "Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest a--. I have it. Everybody's saying it, Nicki. I know they say it's you. But it's me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby!"

Noah's bit came after Minaj declared that she was the POTUS' "No. 1 fan." On Jan. 28, the "Super Bass" singer joined Trump on stage at a Treasury Department summit. Trump, 70, called Minaj, 42, "the greatest and most successful female rapper in history," while she promised to donate “hundreds of thousands of dollars to the president's new "Trump accounts.
“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan. And that’s not going to change," Minaj said, per USA Today. "And the hate or what people have to say—it does not affect me at all,” Minaj said Wednesday. “It actually motivates me to support him more."
In the comments of a clip of Noah's remarks shared via X, viewers shared their thoughts on his unexpected remarks of Minaj and Trump. And the reactions were mixed.
One X user wrote, "Trevor Noah just destroyed Nicki Minaj 😂."
Another shared via X, "So people at the Grammys (Trevor Noah) want to publicly humiliate Nicki Minaj for supporting our president but doesn’t doesn’t mention Jay Z being in the Epstein files….. I’m starting to see Nicki was always right about these people."
Someone else commented, "Trevor stayed messy for this lmao. The shade is wild but also perfectly timed. Grammy hosts really don't hold back anymore, huh."
A different X user pointed out, "Trevor Noah woke up and chose chaos."
Meanwhile, yet another viewer shared, "Shame on him from the depth of my heart."
The 2026 Grammy Awards kicked off on Sunday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Justin and Hailey Bieber Make a Bold Statement Against ICE at the Grammys
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber stepped onto the red carpet at the 68th Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, 2026, making a rare appearance at one of the industry’s highest-profile events.
What immediately stood out was not their fashion, but the message they chose to wear.
Both Justin and Hailey appeared with matching “ICE OUT” pins, a phrase that has become a visible form of protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The pins were clearly visible in red carpet photographs from the night, placing the couple among several artists who used awards season appearances to make political statements beyond music.
Why the Message Resonated NowThe moment landed amid heightened national attention around immigration enforcement, as debates over border policy, detention practices, and deportations have remained central in U.S. political discourse.
In recent months, immigration enforcement has been a recurring flashpoint across policy discussions, protests, and election-year rhetoric, making symbolic gestures like the “ICE OUT” pins immediately legible to audiences.
The phrase itself has circulated across multiple high-profile events this awards season, with artists and public figures using pins and accessories to signal opposition to ICE and its role in immigration enforcement. By the time the Grammys arrived, the message had become a recognizable shorthand, understood without explanation.
A Rare Public Appearance With Added WeightTheir Grammys appearance marked one of their more visible joint outings in recent years, amplifying the impact of the message they chose to present.
On a red carpet typically dominated by fashion and performance chatter, Justin and Hailey Bieber used the Grammys stage to align themselves with a broader political statement already circulating across the cultural landscape.

Heidi Klum, 52, Defies Aging in Tight Latex Dress At the 2026 Grammy Award's Red Carpet
Heidi Klum arrived at the 68th annual Grammys Awards with a look that made it clear she still treats music’s biggest night like her personal runway.
The 52-year-old stepped onto the red carpet on Sunday, February 1, in a strapless and mannequin-like flesh-toned latex gown that clung to her body. The dress was embossed with anatomical detailing—nipples and all—that gave it a sculptural effect. Klum kept the accessories minimal, opting for nude pumps and a few statement rings.
Notably, Klum walked the carpet solo this year, a change from 2025 when she brought husband Tom Kaulitz as her plus-one.

Last year’s appearance leaned just as bold, though in a very different direction. Klum dazzled in a silver gown featuring ornate beading and a sheer skirt, paired with a diamond choker and shawl. Kaulitz complemented her look in a cream-colored suit and platform sneakers.
The Grammys look also follows another recent fashion moment from the supermodel. Earlier this month, Klum shared a workout video on Instagram that showed her in a yellow string bikini, doing banded arm exercises beside what appeared to be an infinity pool. Soundtracked to Britney Spears’ “Work B—h,” the clip came with a caption that read, “Let’s get to work b—h 🤪,” and quickly drew praise for her toned look.

Sharing the moment on social media, Klum proudly introduced him to her followers, calling him “smart, funny, kind, loving.”
