Legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell won the Grammy for Best Folk Album for 'Joni At Newport' at the 2024 Grammy Awards. At 80 years old, she also made her debut performance at the ceremony, which was met with a standing ovation and widespread acclaim. Her performance was particularly poignant given her recovery from a near-fatal aneurysm that required her to re-learn speaking and singing. The emotional impact of her appearance and performance was highlighted by the reactions of attendees and viewers who expressed their admiration and were moved to tears by her resilience and enduring spirit.
