BEVERLY HILLS, February 16, (THEWILL) – Did you miss The Grammys last night? Don’t worry, we got you covered! In addition to all the fab photos we had previously published from the event, we’ve put together all the highlights of the star-studded event and of course, the full list of winners. Check all that out below!
- Lady Gaga’s beautiful tribute to David Bowie.
Gaga who had gotten a tattoo of the late rock star last week, did her best impression of him as she belted out a mash up of David’s classics including, ‘Rebel Rebel’, ‘Changes’, ‘Shake It’, ‘Fame’, ‘Let’s Dance’ and ‘Heroes’.
- Beyonce on stage
No, she didn’t perform ‘Formation’, or any other song for that matter, but you know, Queen Bey on stage doing anything at all is bound to be a highlight.
The singer looked angelic in a white dress by Israeli designer, Inbal Dror as she stepped on stage to present the biggest award of the night – Record of the Year to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars for Uptown Funk.
- Sofia Vergara’s surprise appearance during Pitbull’s performance
The very sexy Sofia Vergara was a sight for sore eyes as she appeared on stage in a little taxi during Pitbull’s performance of his hit song, ‘El Taxi’.
Stepping out of her taxi and wiggling her banging body, the newlywed clearly came to have fun in her glittery mini dress.
- Kendrick Lamar’s very powerful performance and big win
The biggest winner of the night was Kendrick, by a mile. Not only did he cart home five awards last night, he also gave a performance that shook the audience and viewers across the world.
The rapper broke into the stage in chains, literary set the stage on fire, broke free from his chains and projected a map of Africa onto the screen behind him with, Compton written on it as he performed his single, ‘The Blacker The Berry’ and ‘Alright’.
As Trevor Noah tweeted at the end of his performance, ‘Kendrick is what Kanye would have been if the Kardashians didn’t get him,’
5. Taylor Swift’s not-so-subtle shade at Kanye
It’s no news that the both of them have fallen apart yet again but Taylor took to the stage to finally address (kinda) his insinuation that he made her famous.
While accepting her award for ‘Album of the Year’ the 26-year-old said, “And as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. “But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.”
- Adele’s not-so-triumphant return to the Grammys stage
What was supposed to be her triumphant return to the Grammys didn’t turn out so well, thanks to sound issues. A microphone had fallen onto the strings of an accompanying piano during her set, which kind of took the shine away from what would have been a stellar performance.
Nonetheless, it wasn’t a very bad outing for the ‘Hello’ singer.
- All Stars Tribute to Lionel Richie
Lionel Richie was almost in tears as Demi Lovato, Meghan Trainor, Luke Bryan and John Legend paid him a tribute.
John kicked of the tribute with Lionel’s 1977 hit, Easy Like Sunday Morning, followed by Bryan who performed Penny Lover with the help of John and backup singers. Meghan performed, ‘You Are’ and was joined by Tyrese Gibson who sang ‘Brick House’.
Demi Lovato did not leave a lot of people disappointed either as she gave a beautiful rendition of Lionel’s hit single, ‘Hello’.
Lionel capped it off with a performance of ‘All Night Long’ as he was named MusiCares Person of the year.
