Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Serenade 33 Gay & Straight Weddings at the Grammys with 'Same Love'

 

When Macklemore & Ryan Lewis took to the Grammys stage on January 26, 2014 to serenade 33 gay and straight couples being married in the audience simultaneously by Queen Latifah, the Seattle hip-hop duo elevated "Same Love" -- already a gay anthem AND hit song that rose to No. 11 on the Hot 100 -- into something even greater: a joyous live, national celebration of marriage equality. The nearly three dozen pairs of newlyweds stepped into married life with this all-star performance that also included Madonna singing "Open Your Heart," and both "Same Love" vocalist Mary Lambert and horn player Trombone Shorty lending their talents. "This song is not a love song for some of us but for all of us," said Latifah as she introduced the "Same Love" segment. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, GLAAD called the performance "the latest in a long line of signs that our nation not only accepts, but celebrates the love and commitment of gay couples today." --Jessica Letkemann
