This could be total and utter BS, but there’s been a rumor out there for months that The Weeknd wrote “The Hills” about fooling around with Ariana Grande when she was with Big Sean. If you listen to the lyrics, it sort of fits, and the hookup would probably fall around the same time The Weeknd and Ariana worked together on “Love Me Harder.” So… it was very interesting that Ariana was the one chosen to announce The Weeknd’s performance (a medley of Can’t Feel My Face and In the Night). It was also very interesting that The Weeknd chose this red carpet to be the first coupled-up appearance with his girlfriend Bella Hadid. Right?
As for the fashion, Bella Hadid wore Alexandre Vauthier. This was actually (no joke) one of my favorite dresses at the Grammys. It was sexy without being tacky, rock n’ roll without being cheeseball. The dress was flattering and she looked great with The Weeknd. On the other hand, Ariana Grande wore this Romona Keveza gown which is pretty boring. She also needs to get out of the high-pony rut she’s been in for years.
As for The Weeknd’s performance… I didn’t hate it or love it. I realize singing “The Hills” probably would have been too obvious (nevermind hell for the censors), but “In the Night” is not my favorite.
