Music legend Diana Ross made a surprise appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, leaving pop icons like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Sabrina Carpenter visibly starstruck. Ross’s presence on stage created a memorable moment during the awards ceremony.
A Royal Entrance
Ross, serving as a surprise presenter, walked onto the Grammys stage wearing a stunning Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. Her white tulle cape and shimmering silver attire evoked memories of her iconic ’70s glamour. She was there to present one of the night’s most prestigious awards: Song of the Year.
The audience immediately rose to their feet, giving Ross a standing ovation. Sabrina Carpenter appeared to be moved to tears, while Taylor Swift’s applause was enthusiastic and unwavering. Beyoncé also showed visible emotion upon seeing Ross, and Jay-Z beamed with joy at the music icon’s presence. Video snippets of these reactions quickly circulated online, capturing the genuine admiration these artists have for Ross.
A Message of Hope
The Grammys ceremony took place in Los Angeles, which had recently been impacted by devastating wildfires. The Recording Academy adjusted the event to incorporate LA wildfire relief efforts, integrating benefit concert elements throughout the night. Ross’s appearance carried added significance in this context.
Addressing the audience, Ross shared an inspiring message:
“May this moment remind us all of the power we hold. Even in the darkness we can rise again and keep the light of hope and love alive.”
Presenting the Top Honor
Ross presented the Song of the Year award to Kendrick Lamar for his song “Not Like Us,” a diss track from his highly publicized dispute with Drake. Lamar also won several other awards, including Record of the Year. Notably, Ross had presented the same award to Michael Jackson in 1984, adding a layer of historical significance to the moment.
