Speaking about the late addition tribute to the ceremony, Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich said; "It's too fresh in everyone's memory to do more at this time, but we would be remiss if we didn't recognise Whitney's remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years."
