LOS ANGELES - The 67th annual Grammys opened Sunday with an "I Love LA" tribute to the city still reeling from the devastating impact of recent wildfires.

A supergroup including Sheryl Crow and John Legend delivered a performance of Randy Newman's track to open the show in honor of Los Angeles's resilience and efforts to pick up the pieces.

Host Trevor Noah then delivered his monologue introducing the top nominees like Beyonce and Taylor Swift along with a number of barbed quips including some aimed at President Donald Trump's conservative policies on immigration.

"I'm going to enjoy tonight because this may be the last time I get to host anything," said Noah, who is Black and was born in South Africa. - AFP
