Teletubby 139,761 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga abandoned their hit for Los Angeles. The duo had originally planned to perform “Die With a Smile,” but that changed after the wildfires. “I had a really early call with Bruno, and we chatted for a while, and we were just thinking about what’s right,” Winston recalls. “He said, ‘Is anybody on the show doing, like, ‘California Dreamin”?… I loved what they did. They were like, ‘No, you know what? We’re not going to do our massive single that would make us money and help our albums. Actually, we’re going to do something for the city. That was the biggest spike in donations of the night because it came off the back of that fire appeal film.” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/grammys-2025-weeknd-winner-taylor-swift-beyonce-1235256821/ 6 1 40 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starmie25 15,316 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 They made the right choice. "California Dreamin" was a beautiful moment. Also "Abracadabra" got full attention this way 39 2 1 2 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addison Rae 15,408 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 honestly it was the best decision anyway, the dwas performance would’ve overshadowed the abracadabra video premiere sitting on his lap sipping diet pepsi 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

codymonster 8,488 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 You can say what you want about promo, but Gaga ALWAYS backs up what she stands for. She has shown countless times that she cares about other people more than her own success. I commend them both for that. 20 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
