"The result was a clunky moment in which Cher was brought out to present the award for Record of the Year before Trevor Noah interrupted her to hand over her lifetime-achievement award. Whether or not the Grammys intended for her to make a speech was unclear, but she did nonetheless, and rightfully so! "Thank you, I guess I'm supposed to walk off now. All right," she drifted, before being intercepted"
"But let's be perfectly clear, none of this was Cher's fault. In fact, she benevolently gifted the Grammys with one of their best moments of the night. But this is what happens when they try to half-ass a Cher award instead of doing what they should have done: a full-blown musical tribute to the legend. Just think of what we missed out on!"
The Grammys brought Cher back after 18 years to present Record of the Year while simultaneously delivering her lifetime-achievement award, producing an awkward onstage exchange. Trevor Noah interrupted her presentation to hand over the award, prompting a brief, uncertain remark and an interrupted exit before she returned to present. Cher appeared to misannounce the winner while the moment was framed as not her fault and one of the night's highlights. A full musical tribute is suggested as a more fitting honor, with examples of potential performers and a sense of a missed celebratory opportunity.
