Why was Meryl Streep at the Grammys?

Meryl Streep appeared at the Grammys with Mark Ronson, who is her son-in-law. Trevor Noah revealed during the show that Mark Ronson was sitting with his wife, Grace Gummer and her mother, Meryl Streep.

"Look at this, Mark Ronson, one of the greatest producers of all time, and get this, his mother-in-law is going to be sitting right here. You know who she is? Meryl Streep, that’s right. Meryl Streep, one of the greatest Meryl Streeps of all time. She’s going to be in this chair. I can’t believe that Meryl Streep is here," said Trevor Noah.

However, this wasn't the only reason that Streep was invited to the awards. Meryl was Nominated for Best Spoken Word Album for Big Tree, a book by Brian Selznick that she narrated. She lost to Michelle Obama's narration of The Light We Carry: Overcoming In Uncertain Times.

This is Mery's seventh Grammy nomination, and she has received other nominations for her work on the Mamma Mia soundtrack, and other various book narrations.
