Yahoo Lifestyle Watch Sheryl Crow's Legendary Grammys Performance that Earned a Standing Ovation
The 2025 Grammys were a memorable night for many, but especially Sheryl Crow!
On Sunday, February 2, the 62-year-old country singer showed up to the Grammys red carpet in a stunning strapless sequin chevron Missoni gown accessorized with eye-catching turquoise Neil Lane jewelry to celebrate 30 years since her iconic 1995 triple-Grammy win for Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. While she could have gotten caught up in her career milestone, she opted to take the Crypto.com Arena stage with something bigger in mind.
To kick off the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, Sheryl—a 9-time Grammy winner—swapped her strapless maxi for a shimmering silver mini chainmail two-piece paired with knee-high blue Louboutin cowboy boots and her bass to join Dawes, John Legend, Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, and St. Vincent on stage in a tribute performance of ‘I Love LA.’ Together, they honored the city, its community, and the heroes who helped save it following the catastrophic wildfires that broke out on January 7.
“It’s emotional; I mean, this is a different Grammys,” Sheryl told ET correspondent Nischelle Turner during a pre-show Grammys red carpet interview. “People are here because they feel like, ‘We’ve got to do something to help everybody’... as most people know, the drummer from Dawes—one of the great members of Dawes, the drummer, Griffin—lost his home. He’s just one of a few.”
Knowing just how many people and fellow musicians were affected by the fires, Sheryl was honored to be part of the tribute performance. “It's cool to be here tonight, to be a part of what feels like a community,” she told PEOPLE during a red carpet interview. “People forget sometimes that even though an awards show feels competitive, this situation is made up of a community of musicians. For me, I came here as a young school teacher wanting to have a career in music 30 years ago, 35 years ago. L.A. has a lot of layers to it. People that live here wind up staying here, raising their kids here, but it is a community. I think tonight really amplifies that.”
As tear-jerking and well-received as their performance was, nothing compared to the moment when nearly two dozen members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department took the stage to present Album of the Year. The standing ovation and whooping cheers say it all.
