The ceremony went down Saturday night in Cleveland at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse — and Cher’s iconic hit, “Believe” kicked things off, as she performed it with Dua Lipa.
When it came time to induct Cher, Zendaya did the honors while rocking a barely-there gown that looked like she borrowed it directly from Cher’s closet.
In her acceptance speech, Cher boasted she changed the sound of music — referring to her early use of auto-tune on tracks like “Believe” — and called out Cinderella (yes, really) and her mother as inspirations.
She said, “The one thing I got from my mom is to never give up, I’m talking to the women … down and out, we keep going.”
Julia Roberts was there to Stan for the Dave Matthews Band … during her induction speech, she said the legendary jam band’s appeal was all about “spontaneous abandon” — which was on full display when DMB hit the stage and got the whole crowd singing along.
Other highlights included Dr. Dre inducting Mary J., noting she helped create a whole new genre of music — hip-hop soul … while Chuck D and the Roots paid tribute to new inductees Kool & the Gang, and Keith Urban and Roger Daltry showed up to salute inductee Peter Frampton.
