Not Even the Grammys Are Safe From L.A. Traffic

Grammys’ producers told Rolling Stone that at least ten major stars were late to the show because of traffic during a rainstorm — including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Meryl Streep, Mariah Carey, SZA, Burna Boy, Kacey Musgraves, Christina Aguilera, and Lizzo. “In the end, they got a golf cart and picked Mariah Carey up out of her SUV that was stuck in traffic, with four people running around the side with umbrellas, to make sure she didn’t get so wet that she couldn’t go onstage,” revealed Patrick Menton, a co-executive producer. The traffic also meant Trevor Noah had to make some last-minute changes to his monologue because celebs were missing or just walking in, like Bey and Jay did.
