Music's glitziest evening is usually better known for dazzling performances than for genuine confessions on the world as it is. That being said, given the time we live in, it was rather heartening to see so many celebrities comment--however obliquely--on the things that matter to them. From an unexpectedly dope rap performed by host and Broadway baby James Corden to a surprisingly timely #NoDAPL shoutout from Michael Jackson's daughter Paris, here are the most powerful statements made by last night's celebrities at the 2017 Grammys.
Katy Perry: RESIST

Katy Perry’s performance of her new single “Chained to the Rhythm” was amazing, but even more amazing for the bejeweled RESIST armband that she wore all through it. After spending most of last year campaigning for Hillary Clinton, it’s good to see Katy back at it with a renewed vengeance for speaking her mind. Ending the performance with a battle cry of “NO HATE!” set against the opening clause of the U.S. constitution only reminded us why we love Ms. Perry so much.
