Things Alicia Keys did: That. The 38-year-old singer and 2019 Grammys hostess with the mostest amazed viewers with her insane musical talents as she sang covers of award-winning songs on Sunday night. Oh, she also performed them while playing two pianos at once. You know, like a genius?
During the show, Keys paid homage to late jazz pianist Hazel Scott (who was known for her double piano playing) as she sampled from tunes like Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly," Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody," Juice Wrld's "Lucid Dreams," Drake's "In My Feelings," Ella Mai's "Boo'd Up," and Lauryn Hill's "Doo-Wop (That Thing)." She also intermixed some Coldplay instrumentals and rounded out the medley with her own "Empire State of Mind." Watch a clip of Keys's incredible performance above, and get ready for your jaw to hit the floor.
