Just before the one year anniversary of her Grammy-nominated album “Punisher,” artist Phoebe Bridgers announced her upcoming North American tour. Tickets sold out almost instantly, and she certainly did not disappoint.

The 63rd annual Grammy Awards took place Sunday night, and if you weren’t paying attention — or just don’t care — it was easy to miss them. In a strange year for music devoid of any blockbuster moments, the Grammys didn’t have much draw. On top of that, the award show, like many other award
