Beyoncé missed the first big moment of the night. “Cuff It” was at the beginning of the Grammy Awards won Best R&B Song before the singer arrived in downtown Los Angeles. It had rained on Sunday afternoon, when the already notoriously inept drivers in this city become dangerous obstacles on the highways. So something can happen. Nevertheless, there was an involuntary message in this moment, in which the artist should get a Grammy (in a minor category) and then, for the time being, draw level with the Hungarian-British conductor Sir Georg Solti as the most awarded person in history up to now: Beyoncé does not need this event – the Grammys need Beyoncé.
