Ice Spice, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Tom Hanks and a Surreal Swoon of Stars Light Up Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala


Ice Spice, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder, Noah Kahane and a galaxy of stars performed and appeared at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala

Victoria Monet sat surrounded by her family on the far left; party perennials Nancy Pelosi (with husband Paul), Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Dionne Warwick and Berry Gordy were in their customary front spots. Hanks delivered a hilarious monologue about Davis’ legendary career; Grammy chief Harvey Mason Jr. recalled the Academy being called out for its lack of diversity four years ago at the party by Sean “Diddy” Combs and spoke of its progress in changing that. Jelly Roll gave a touching speech about his long road to the star-studded party (“thank you for having my white-trash ass,” he told the crowd) before turning in a powerful pair of country-bluesy numbers, including a blazing version of “Save Me” with Lainey Wilson.
