GRAMMYS on Twitter
Official hashtag and official handle: #GRAMMYs & @RecordinAcad
One of the most important parts of this kind of global events is its Marketing and Communication plan. Everything may seem casual with these events, anyway nothing is left to casualty. A basic issue is tho find our or to share an easy and recognizable official hashtag. In addition, it usually also helps to have a clear Twitter handle.
The Grammys Twitter team has it controlled with the hashtag #GRAMMYs. Not that much with the Twitter account: @RecordingAcad. With almost three million followers they tweet like a PRO, but it may seem difficult to tag them in a tweet.
However, as we have pointed out, their Twitter timeline offer a complete resume of what happened last night. In fact, they have shared over 400 tweets since yesterday:
After analyzing all the tweets they have shared, Ariana Grande’s win was the most retweeted and liked. It may helped the fact that Grande declined to attend the ceremony. And, of course, her fans aim to support her no matter her assistance or not. A huge success from the winners at the event was BTS. Actually, he BTS fanbase prove that they are actively supporting them online too. This is the second most retweeted and like tweet from @RecordinfAcad:

The official hashtag was well shared on every tweet sent by the official account. It has also been heavily shared during the last hours. Although the hashtag #Grammys2019 has a lot of activity, #GRAMMYs is with no doubt the hashtag most shared and used to tweet about the 61st GRAMMY Awards.
#GRAMMYs top tweets
We have already written about the top official tweets. But, as we know, Twitter and its activity is unpredictable. Or, at least, it is so usually.
With an event with so much celebrities and well known persons, Twitter proves to be the fans place to be. The tweets and retweets at this events peak really heavy levels. A live event and the immediacy of the social networks are key to achieve this one as the most retweeted and like tweet with #GRAMMYs on it:
