R&B darlings Halle Bailey, Summer Walker and Coco Jones celebrated their Grammy nominations in a lavish way — at a high tea party at a luxurious West Hollywood residence.
As music industry players stood poolside, where synchronized swimmers performed and violinists played, the singers were honored on Friday by Femme It Forward, the female-led music and entertainment company founded by Heather Lowery in 2019 in partnership with Live Nation Entertainment.
Bailey, who is on a winning streak thanks to her recent roles in The Little Mermaid and The Color Purple, earned her first solo Grammy nomination this year — best R&B song for “Angel.” She was previously nominated for five Grammys for her work with her sister as Chloe x Halle.
Sunday’s Grammys also marks a major moment for Walker. She was previously nominated for album of the year for her appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, but after years of releasing successful songs and albums, she earned a nomination for her own work this year. She is competing for best R&B album with Clear 2: Soft Life EP.
And Jones is walking into the show as a five-time nominee, including a bid for best new artist. The actress-singer’s No. 1 hit “ICU” is nominated for best R&B song and best R&B performance; her debut project What I Didn’t Tell You (Deluxe) is up for best R&B album; and “Simple,” her collaboration with Babyface, is nominated for best traditional R&B performance.
Attendees at Friday’s party included rapper Rapsody, R&B performer BJ the Chicago Kid, and singer and Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard Bassett.
The 2024 Grammys will air live on CBS from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday.
