LOS ANGELES — The Grammy Awards kicked off Sunday with a group of powerful women, including Michelle Obama and Lady Gaga, describing the role of music in their lives — a display that came a year after female voices were somewhat muted at the 2018 ceremony.
«Music has always helped me tell my story,» Obama said at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. «Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves. It allows us to hear one another.»

Women have a strong presence in the top categories. Five of the eight album-of-the-year nominees are women, including Carlile’s «By the Way, I Forgive You,» Janelle Monae’s «Dirty Computer,» Cardi B’s «Invasion of Privacy,» Musgraves’ «Golden Hour,» and H.
