The 67th Annual Grammy Awards was held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday. Alicia Keys won 2 Grammy awards, including the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.

Alicia, 44, took the opportunity to celebrate diversity in music by taking a subtle swing at President Donald Trump.

On Jan. 20, Trump signed an executive order laying off hundreds of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) federal employees.

He also angered many by blaming the deadly midair collision in Washington, DC on the previous Biden administration’s DEI hires.

“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” Alicia Keys said. “We’ve seen on this stage talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift,” she added.

Alicia also won a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album award for her autobiographical “Hell’s Kitchen.”

Alicia took the time to credit her musical collaborators for their support.

“They saw in me what I did not see in myself,” said the mother of two, whose 9-year-old son, Genesis, stood next to her on stage.

Queen Latifah praised her friend after her speech.

“Alicia is a global force,” Latifah said of Alicia, who is the first female artist and the first non-rapper to receive the award.

Alicia is best known for her debut album Songs in A Minor (2009). Despite the album’s titled, only one song, “Jane Doe,” was actually written in the key of A minor.

The album sold over 12 million copies and spawned the hit songs “How Come You Don’t Call Me”, “Fallin'”, and “A Woman’s Worth.”
