This year was no exception, as artists and celebrities gathered to celebrate the night of amazing music that awaited them. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and reverence as everyone awaited the arrival of Davis himself.
The holding room was buzzing with activity as presenters and performers mingled and posed for a group photo. The star power in the room was truly remarkable, with legendary actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson catching the attention of Grammy-nominated singer-rapper, Jelly Roll. Wilson couldn't contain her excitement as she recognized the artist, exclaiming, 'It's Jelly Roll!' It was a surreal and humbling moment for Jelly Roll, who couldn't help but express his disbelief.

The War and Treaty and Monét paid homage to Ronald Isley, with Monét even bowing to him. The energy in the room was contagious, and there was even a spontaneous rendition of 'We Are the World,' inspired by the Netflix documentary, 'The Greatest Night in Pop.'
The gathering was a testament to the diversity and talent within the music industry. Billie Joe Armstrong, from Green Day, jokingly suggested a 'Future World Tour' as they took selfies with members of Public Enemy. It was a lighthearted moment that showcased the camaraderie and mutual admiration between artists.
