Here’s a story that’s worth talking about—Meryl Streep made an unforgettable entrance at the 2024 Grammys. Picture this: it’s Sunday, February 4, and Trevor Noah is in the middle of his opening monologue when suddenly, she walks in. Yeah, the legendary actress didn’t just show up; she made an entrance that everyone will be talking about for weeks.

Meryl’s Timing Was Perfect

Meryl, who’s 74 and still as sharp as ever, walked in just as Trevor, 39, was talking about her during his speech to kick off the night. He mentioned Mark Ronson, Meryl’s son-in-law, who was in attendance, and that’s when things got interesting. Trevor pointed out that Meryl would be sitting next to Mark, and before you could blink, she ran into the room and took her seat. Talk about perfect timing!

Trevor couldn’t help but joke with the audience, saying, “You thought I was lying!” And when Meryl apologized for her late entrance, Trevor was quick to respond, “You don’t have to apologize to me!” Can you imagine being in that room and witnessing all of this unfold?

Meryl’s Role at the Grammys

Meryl wasn’t just there to watch the show; she was there as a presenter. She was also nominated in the Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording category for her work on Big Tree. Unfortunately, she didn’t take home the award this time—it went to Michelle Obama’s The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times. But hey, Meryl’s got a ton of Oscars and Emmys under her belt, so I’m sure she’s not too upset.

Here’s the thing: Meryl has been nominated for seven Grammys in her career, but she hasn’t won one yet. If she ever does, she’ll join the exclusive EGOT club—winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. That’s a pretty big deal, right?

Meryl’s Style and Family Life

For her 2024 Grammys look, Meryl rocked a white suit, her hair styled in a sleek low ponytail, and her signature glasses. It’s always great to see her embrace her classic yet modern style. Now, let’s talk about her family. Meryl’s daughter, Grace Gummer, is married to Mark Ronson, and they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in December 2022. This makes the little one Meryl’s fourth grandchild.

Before her first grandchild was born in 2020, Meryl joked about becoming a grandma. “I’ve been working like mad for quite a while,” she said in November 2019. “So I’m getting ready for my first grandchild. My daughter’s having a baby in February, so I’m going to go out and ruin her life. I specialize in unsolicited advice.” Sounds like Meryl’s just as funny in real life as she is on screen.

A New Chapter for Meryl

In October 2023, Meryl confirmed that she had separated from her husband, Don Gummer, whom she married in 1978. A spokesperson for the Oscar winner revealed that they had actually been estranged for six years. Despite this, Meryl and Don still care deeply for each other. “While they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” a rep for Meryl shared.

Since then, there have been rumors of a romance between Meryl and her Only Murders in the Building costar, Martin Short. But don’t get too excited—both actors have denied that they’re dating. Still, it’s fun to speculate, isn’t it?
