Backstage at the Grammy Awards at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Taylor complained softly in Luo Ji's ear: "It's all your fault. You tore the dress last night, which made me buy an identical one today."
"Isn't this unbearable?"
"It's all your fault!"
Luo Ji said, "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy last night."
"you!"
Taylor said shyly: "Okay, stop talking and get ready. I'm going to perform later. I'm a little nervous. This is my first time performing on such an occasion."
Luo Ji patted Taylor on the back: "Calm down, you have met the Queen of England."
Luo Ji and Taylor had just finished filming for CBS outside, and after a brief appearance on TV, they hurried backstage.
The staff came over at this time: "Logic, please get ready first. Alicia Keys has already started to introduce the opening. Taylor, after Logic performed the first song, it's time for you to appear. Please get ready too." ."
"OK."
Luo Ji heard Alicia Keys's voice in the background.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Grammy Awards ceremony. It has been 50 years since the first Grammy Awards. We are witnessing history and looking to the future. This place will lead to the next 50 years."
At this time, there was warm applause outside the stadium, and everyone clapped and cheered.
"It's an honor to present a promising man. Last year, he sold 1430 million records and more than 1000 million singles. This year, he has received six Grammy nominations. Please invite tonight's winner Logic , and the symphony orchestra performing "Viva La Vida" for us, and then he will perform "We don't talk anymore" with Taylor Swift."
The scene immediately erupted with enthusiastic cheers, screams and applause.The sound was obviously more than twice as loud as the opening sound.
The sounds of piano, cello, and violin sounded, the curtain slowly opened, and the surrounding lights slowly extinguished, leaving only the lights on the stage.
Luo Ji stood in front with a microphone, and behind him was the symphony orchestra. There were also several male backing vocalists standing around. Lang Lang was playing the piano beside Luo Ji.
The moment Luo Ji appeared, there were even more enthusiastic cheers and screams.Luo Ji smiled when he saw this scene.Very popular, conquer your peers!At this moment, he was at his best.
"I used to rule the world, I used to be the master of the world..."
Off the stage, Barenboy, a big boss in the classical music industry, said to the people around him: "The style of this song is really high. There are not many songs that can be perfectly integrated with classical music. The tune of this song is It’s just a joy to play the symphony.”
"Logic also sings very well." The person next to him said: "It didn't sound very good at first, and his voice was relatively young, but as time went by, it turned out to be very good. Do you think our Chicago Symphony Orchestra should also rehearse this piece? Song? It can bring something fresh to everyone."
"I don't want to." Barenboy continued: "The New York Philharmonic Orchestra has already rehearsed and performed, and I don't want to learn from them."
At the end of the song, several harmonies sang Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh in the song.The lights gradually dimmed and Luo Ji disappeared, leaving only the singing.
Under the dim light and under the guidance of the staff, Luo Ji came to another part of the stage with ease. He had rehearsed this scene many times.
There was only a piano on the stage with a microphone on it, and Luo Ji sat down on it.Taylor was already standing next to him with a microphone in his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the harmony of "Viva La Vida" ended completely. The lights for Luo Ji and Taylor came on. When the people off the stage saw the two people, they immediately burst into cheers.
The cheers lasted for five seconds, the piano sounded, and the live performance of "We don't talk anymore" began, and the two songs seamlessly connected.
"We don't talk anymore, We don't talk anymore, there is only silence, there is only silence between us, there is only silence, whispering intimacy is the past..."
Luo Ji and Taylor's singing sounded, and the venue suddenly became quiet.Luo Ji was playing the piano and singing into the microphone standing in front of the piano.
Taylor, wearing a blue dress with her hair draped over her shoulders, sang around Luo Ji with a microphone in her hand.Luo Ji could still look at Taylor while singing. She became more and more relaxed as the singing continued.
When the song reached the middle of the song, Taylor lay on the black piano shell and looked at Luo Ji with a smile, and Luo Ji looked at her with a smile.The camera zoomed in, giving a close-up of the two of them.The audience in front of the TV also saw this scene.
"It's so sweet!" Many viewers exclaimed.
Next, the interaction between the two continued. Taylor took the microphone and caressed Luo Ji's back, and sat with him on a bench. Then she rested her head on Luo Ji's back, and the two sang along, There is a unique sense of beauty when the camera captures the past.
"Spreading dog food on the Grammys." Carrie Underwood said in the audience: "It's just so sweet!"
After the performance, Luo Ji picked up the microphone next to the piano and stood up. The two looked at each other and smiled sweetly.Luo Ji pointed at Taylor with the microphone and said to the audience: "This is Taylor Swift, Everybody."
Then the two hugged each other, and the audience burst into cheers and screams.The two then bowed to the people on the stage and walked backstage.
When they reached the road, Luo Ji stretched out his arm, and Taylor took the initiative to move closer. Luo Ji put his arm around Taylor's shoulders, and Taylor put her arms around Luo Ji's waist. She leaned her head slightly toward Luo Ji.The Grammys telecast watched the pair leave.
"Sweet."
Host Alicia Keys looked at the two people leaving and said, "Haha, I actually felt sweetness during the live performance of a breakup song. It seems that Logic and Taylor Swift are a couple. It’s not very suitable to sing a song about a breakup!”
The audience immediately burst into laughter, and the TV camera showed Taylor's mother and Luo Ji's mother.Both of them were smiling happily at this time.
“Next, I’d like to invite Prince to present us with a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocalist.”
Backstage, Luo Ji hugged and thanked the staff and technicians who had just performed.Taylor was by his side every step of the way.Luo Ji said: "Thank you, Lang Lang, the performance just now was very good!"
"Excuse me." Lang Lang said calmly.
Luo Ji continued: "Are you okay?"
Lang Lang said: "Well, it's still a bit uncomfortable. After all, it is possible to win the highest honor in the music industry, so it is a pity to miss it."
Taylor comforted: "Keep up the good work! There will still be opportunities in the future."
Lang Lang was nominated for the Best Instrumental Solo Award for Classical Music this year. At the small award ceremony before the awards ceremony, these less important nominations for classical music and the like have been announced and awarded. Luo Ji also won a popular award. category award, Best Pop Vocal Album "16", other nominations have not been announced yet and will be announced at the awards ceremony.
Lang Lang took a deep breath to calm down, then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Logic for a good start."
"Haha, thank you." Luo Ji continued, "You will have a performance later."
"Ah."
Luo Ji continued: "Then you prepare first, I'll go to the front desk."
Luo Ji and Taylor came to the front, where Rihanna was on stage performing her song "Umbrella," which won the Grammy for Best Rap Collaboration this year.Luo Ji and Taylor walked to their seats and hugged and shook hands with the people around them.
Luo Ji and Taylor were sitting together. Next to Taylor was her mother, Andrea, and next to Luo Ji was his mother, Sami.
Behind the two sat members of their respective album teams.Behind Taylor sat Liz Ross, and a few guys from Big Machine.Behind Luo Ji sat Jeff Busker, Brian Eno, two of his students, and Grandma Queenie.
"Who won the award just now?" Luo Ji asked.
"Alicia Keys," mother Sammy said.
Several people then watched the Grammy Awards Ceremony carefully. Tom Hanks actually appeared and presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to the band and choir.Then we paid tribute to The Beatles.
"Tonight, we celebrate the power of The Beatles, who brought strength to our lives."
Oh oh oh oh, the whole audience burst into cheers. Luo Ji also cheered when he heard this, and Taylor also shouted loudly.
The Beatles are truly a legendary band. They debuted in 1960, more than 60 years ago, and many of their songs are still very much liked by Luo Ji.After entering the new millennium, their greatest hits albums have sold more than 2000 million copies.
The camera on the TV then showed Yoko Ono, the wife of Beatles member John Lennon. This third-party wife had a very bad reputation in the media and the public at that time.But decades passed, and as time passed, she successfully became the spokesperson for John Lennon's death, and people gave her enough respect.
Next, a stage play was performed with the background music of The Beatles' song "A Day In The Life" sung by John Lennon.
Luo Ji had a strange feeling about this. People who had been dead for decades were remembered in this way.
As time passed, the awards ceremony continued. Ray Charles and Norah Jones, the winners of the 2005 Best Pop Collaboration Award, took the stage, one black and one white, one old and one young, ready to present the Best Pop Collaboration Award.

At this moment, Luo Ji clenched his fists, and Taylor next to him was also a little nervous. In this award, Luo Ji had the deepest public relations methods and the most obsession.
Norah Jones opened the envelope, looked at it loudly, and shouted, "Congratulations, the winners are Logic and Taylor Swift."
The camera focused on Luo Ji and Taylor below the stage. The two of them jumped up immediately. Luo Ji was very excited at this moment, even more excited than when he made 2.83 million U.S. dollars during the subprime mortgage crisis.
The two hugged and shook hands with their loved ones and record staff.Luo Ji took Taylor's hand and walked onto the stage, then shook hands with Norah Jones and Ray Charles and hugged each other before receiving the Grammy trophy.
Luo Ji raised the trophy high to the camera, then spoke into the microphone.
"Brother, I promised you that I will give you the first Grammy trophy to show off to your classmates, but I think Taylor and I will fight to the death for this trophy. But I am sure that Taylor will not dare to compete with me. Robbed."
Taylor first glared at Luo Ji, then leaned closer to the microphone and said angrily: "This trophy is mine!"
Luo Ji showed off his acting skills and immediately showed a frightened expression. Then his expression changed rapidly, and then he said rationally and confidently: "Taylor Swift, can you save some face for me at the Grammys!"
Taylor's calm body approached the microphone: "Okay, but the trophy is still mine."
The people in the audience burst out laughing when they saw this couple's little theater. The scene was very joyful.Luo Ji even saw many couples in the audience laughing so hard that they couldn't stand upright.
After the humor, Luo Ji and Taylor both became serious.
Luo Ji said: "Here, I would like to thank the people who contributed to this song, Brian Eno, Jeff Basker, the staff of the company and the DJ who played the song, and also the Grammy votes for us judges. I would also like to thank my father and mother, who gave me an environment to learn music. Finally, I would like to thank Taylor, who made this song uniquely exciting."
After Luo Ji finished speaking, he gave the microphone to Taylor. Taylor stepped forward and first thanked her mother, Andrea. .
Then she continued: "I once had a dream, which was to win a Grammy when I was young. Now my dream has finally come true. Here, I want to thank Logic for giving me this opportunity. Thank you everyone!"
After the acceptance speech he had prepared in advance was over, Luo Ji was about to leave the stage. The audience also applauded, but Taylor held the microphone and did not leave. Luo Ji looked at her with some confusion.
Taylor held the microphone and looked at Luo Ji with tenderness on his face: "Thank you, Fili, I love you."
