2019年全美音樂大獎在洛杉磯落下帷幕,這個頒獎禮一如既往集結了美國樂壇上最炙手可熱的音樂人,今年便要數以六項提名領跑的Taylor Swift、Billie Eilish和Ariana Grande最受關注。
然而最大的期待還要數被選為「十年音樂人」的Taylor Swift,在頒獎禮前她更在社交媒體公開與前公司人員Scooter Braun和Scott Borchetta的專輯版權紛爭,亦是與在AMAs上的表演有關,如今Taylor Swift在現場又如何回應?
繼續閱讀以掌握今年AMAs不容錯過的重點:
1. 最佳紅毯著裝
首先要看的還是各大音樂明星的紅毯造型。以兩首新單曲復出的Selena Gomez穿上草綠色的Versace抹胸禮服,搭配清爽利落的bob頭展現出好氣色和身材。而好姐妹Taylor Swift選擇了Julien Macdonald的綠色禮服搭配黑色過膝長靴,透露出作為「年代藝人」的自信與霸氣。而首次參加AMAs便獲得六項提名的Billie Eilish則反而選擇了「低調」地進場,身穿全套Burberry格紋套裝,戴上酷似「養蜂人」的鑽石面紗,蓋起了她標誌性的螢光綠頭髮。她其後上台表演及拎獎時又換上了另外兩套嘻哈裝扮。
正與Shawn Mendes熱戀中的Camila Cabello則是以仙女系禮服及編髮造型走上紅毯,另一對情侶Dua Lipa(身穿艷粉色Miu Miu禮服)與Anwar Hadid則正式成雙成對出現,更大方在鏡頭先接吻,率先大秀恩愛!除此之外,年度新人Lil Nas X的全螢光綠套裝都足以吸引了我們的眼球。
2. Taylor Swift是”Drama Queen”還是真正贏家?
在正式舉辦頒獎禮前,Taylor Swift已被公佈選為「十年音樂人」(Artist of the Decade),在這基礎上,她還被提名「年度藝人」「最佳音樂視頻」「最喜愛女歌手 流行/搖滾類」「最佳專輯」「最喜愛藝人 現代類」,因此怎樣都會抱得幾座AMAs獎座回家。
然而除了她的提名,最受關注的還是Taylor會否在頒獎典禮上透過獲獎感言製造出一場”Drama”,正在頒獎禮之前Taylor Swift在Instagram Story中再次更新她與前唱片公司經理人Scooter Braun就其前唱片公司擁有六張專輯版權的紛爭。Taylor直接在story中寫道由於唱片公司與她遲遲不能達到共識,並限制她公開表演她的舊曲目,這亦直接影響到AMAs頒獎禮上的表演。Taylor公開號召她龐大的粉絲群向Scooter Braun施壓。現在看來,這場紛爭終於(暫且)有了個解決方案。
Taylor Swift在當晚橫掃所有她被提名的獎項,並打破AMAs歷史紀錄,成為獲獎最多(29次)的藝人,前紀錄保持者是Michael Jackson。
Taylor Swift的確是歐美流行音樂過去十年的代表人物,為回應這個頭銜,Taylor得以與前公司調解後,現場表演包括”Love Story” “Blank Space””Shake it Off”最終以新專輯《Lover》的曲目結尾,與觀眾走過這十年的音樂事業。她在獲獎感言時說到「這是一個表彰十年的努力,藝術,樂趣和回憶的事實,對我而言,最重要的是我多年來與你們,與粉絲們在一起的回憶,」絲毫沒有提及版權的紛爭,可以說是一個真正的贏家。值得提及的一點便是表演其中有一件白色襯衫上寫滿過去專輯的名字,這是她「無聲」的主權宣言。
3. Billie Eilish
我們不得不將這一年稱為「Billie Eilish年」,釋出首張專輯便贏得國際聲譽、各年齡層粉絲及音樂界前輩們力捧的17歲音樂鬼才首次提名AMAs便斬獲「年度最佳新人」及「最受歡迎歌手(另類音樂)」兩項大獎。
4. Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez亦是發佈兩首新歌後首次露面表演,她在上個月驚喜發佈時隔四年新專輯的《Lose You To Love Me》及《Look at Her Now》,前首透露著失戀後的傷心欲絕及自我癒合,後者便帶著放下過去的女性力量,雖然一切都被指與最近大搞婚禮的舊愛Justin Bieber有關。
Selena Gomez重回舞台後證明了自己,以黑色晚禮服變裝金屬連身衣呼應音樂視頻的造型,也是令整個放下過去的宣言變得完整。Selena就Taylor的版權紛爭亦公開發表支持十四年好友,這次在台下的Taylor當然為Selena的表演在旁歡呼。
5. Camila Cambello與Shawn Mendes繼續在台上愛得火熱
繼在MTV VMAs上的火辣表演後,正在熱戀中的 Camila Cambello和Shawn Medndes 在今屆AMAs 頒獎禮上再次重燃舞台熱火,兩人纏綿地表演合作歌曲”Señorita”,十分性感,看得連Taylor Swift都忍不住遮眼。這首熱門單曲再次贏得「年度合作歌曲」,領獎的畫面都充滿著甜蜜。
