Trevor Noah took the Grammys stage to welcome everybody to the 66th annual awards show following Dua Lipa's opening performance.
Just as the comedian was noting how women dominated this year in music, Taylor Swift made her way through the audience.

"Are you seeing what's happening right now? As Taylor Swift moves through the room, the local economy around those tables improves," Noah joked. "Can you see that? Look at this magic right now. Look at this magic. Lionel Richie? Now Lionel Wealthy."

Noah also commented on Universal Music Group pulling its music off TikTok amid a licensing dispute.
"So, right now the CEO of TikTok is sitting at home, watching this show, eating ice cream [and] crying, seeing all his exes in one room," he said.
