Queer Women And LGBTQ+ Allies Ruled the 2019 Grammys

St. Vincent and Dua Lipa Set it Off Onstage

Queer rocker St. Vincent and gay fave Dua Lipa took the stage together to perform a mash-up of their songs "MASSEDUCTION" and "One Kiss," in a set that, let's just say it, oozed chemistry. St. Vincent was nominated for three Grammys, while Dua Lipa won for best new artist.

Which brings us to Dua Lipa ...

Dua Lipa Shades Academy President Neil Portnow

Dua Lipa may not be queer herself, but she is definitely one of the pop princesses the gays have adopted as a fav. The Workout Dance Tempo singer earned the snaps and respect of many when, during her speech for winning best new artist, she shaded the president of the Recording Academy.

"I guess where I want to begin is by saying how honored I am to be nominated alongside so many incredible female artists this year, because I guess this year we really 'stepped up,'" Dua Lipa said in a nod to Portnow's comments about female artists being invited to the winner's circle.

Whew, the shade.

Janelle Monae's "Make Me Feel" Performance

Janelle Monae may have gone empty-handed in terms of Grammy wins, but she was a winner in our eyes for delivering one of the night's most electric performances. Crooning and dancing to "Make Me Feel," the lead single off of her Grammy-nominated album Dirty Computer, the pansexual singer also explicitly queered the song, which was already a bisexual anthem.

During the performance, which featured the infamous "vagina pants" or "vulva pants" from her music video "PYNK," she also changed some "Make Me Feel's" lyrics to say "boy you make me feel" and "girl you make me feel."

Kacey Musgraves Performs "Rainbow"

Country singer Kacey Musgraves, a huge LGBTQ+ ally who has appeared as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, performed her song "Rainbow," a song of hope that has also become a queer anthem. During the performance, rainbow lights lit up the stage behind her, projecting a rainbow over her head.

Musgraves later took home the biggest award of the night, album of the year, for her album Golden Hour.

Cardi B Performs "Money" and Takes Home Best Rap Album

As if we didn't love the often-political rapper enough, Cardi B became the first solo woman in the history of the rap album category to take home the top honor. She talked about her love for her baby, Kulture, during her acceptance speech, which she delivered through visible nerves. All of this, after the Bronx-born performer tore up the stage with a stand out (though likely lip synced) performance of her single "Money." On this Grammys night, it was Cardi's world and we were just living in it. Okurrr.
