Cher, 79, made waves during the Sunday, February 1, ceremony when she presented the Record of the Year category. She initially announced the winner as Luther Vandross rather than Lamar, 38, and SZA, 36, for their song “Luther,” which is inspired by the late singer.
“We share the frequency of the song, like, that’s his frequency that allowed us to win and that allowed us to be, like, memorable,” she told Entertainment Tonight in a video posted via Instagram on Sunday. “So, she’s not wrong and she’s from that era, so she probably really knew Luther Vandross.”
SZA added: “Of course her brain and her energy is connecting that energy to the energy that we’re sharing. We’re mooching off of what Luther already gave us. So, we’re grateful. … Thank you, Luther.”
“A legend was speaking … that’s what I understood,” she said. “Cher was, you know, she was queening.”
Once she returned, Cher failed to open the envelope to see which of the nominees won the category.
Cher was seen apologizing to Lamar, SZA and their collaborators as they came up to accept the award.
Lamar paid tribute to Vandross—who died in July 2005 at age 54 from a heart attack—during his Grammys acceptance speech, explaining that the moment was “special” to him because the late singer is “one of my favorite artists of all time.”
“We know how much him and Cheryl Lynn poured into that record,” he added. “Luther forever.”
