Big Music Moments From 2020
COVID-19 drastically altered the music industry in 2020. Concerts, festivals, and appearances were canceled, postponed, and interrupted. However, there were still some big music moments that shaped 2020.
TikTok - TikTok has been around a few years, but it really blew up in 2020. It was an excellent way for people to get creative with music and videos pass the time.
Billie Eilish Grammy Sweep - In January, 18-year-old Billie Eilish dominated the 62nd Grammy Awards and won all four of the big prizes at the show. She took home trophies for Song of the Year, Best New Artists, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Album of the Year.
Megan The Stallion Meets Beyonce - In 2020, we were blessed with one of the best remixes of the year: Megan's song 'Savage' with special guest Beyonce.
