Between the typical displays of red-carpet glamor and performances by some of music\u2019s biggest names, the 68th Grammy Awards distinguished themselves from past years\u2019 ceremonies with their distinctly political tenor.<\/p>\n
A number of celebrities who were in attendance at the awards\u2014including those who took home its top honors\u2014seized the opportunity to make pointed statements criticizing President Donald Trump and his Administration.<\/p>\n
The event\u2019s host, comedian Trevor Noah, drew particular ire\u2014and the threat of a potential lawsuit\u2014from Trump with a joke that appeared to link the President and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the night saw many other high-profile figures take a stand against the Trump Administration\u2019s immigration crackdown as it faces fierce backlash following the fatal shootings of two people by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several Grammy winners used their speeches to make statements against aggressive federal enforcement efforts in American cities and in support of the U.S. immigrant population.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other celebrities donned circular, white \u201cICE OUT\u201d pins, which were also worn by a number of attendees at last month\u2019s Golden Globes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
