Twitter Is Fallin' For Alicia Keys As 2019 Grammys Host

Singer-songwriter Alicia Keys thrilled as host of the 2019 Grammy Awards , and people on social media were celebrating her positive vibes.  

The singer-songwriter opened Sunday night’s show by bringing out four influential women:  former first lady Michelle Obama , Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jennifer Lopez. 

“Tonight we celebrate the greatness in each other,” Keys said onstage.

Obama celebrated the “one and only” songstress in a post published to Instagram on Sunday. 

“I was thrilled to be there for the one and only @aliciakeys at the #GRAMMYs,” Obama wrote in part. “She is one of the most genuine, caring, and thoughtful people I know—there’s no one better to help us all celebrate the unifying power of music!” 

People on Twitter have shared in on the love for Keys. 

During the show, Keys skillfully sang a melody of songs – playing two pianos at the same time nonetheless. Her performance sent Twitter abuzz. 

Last month, the 15-time Grammy winner announced her hosting gig by sharing an adorable video of her receiving a phone call about hosting the award show weeks prior. 

I know what it feels like to be on that stage , and I’m going to bring that vibe and energy,” Keys told Billboard last month.
