Published

on

Of course, between the Grammys kicking off at one in the morning UK time and the fact there’s no proper way for us Brits to stream the awards show in full, many music fans will be spending their morning together piecing together bits of information to try and work out everything that went down on the night.

Fortunately for you, we were following the whole thing live, and we’ve rounded 33 of the must-see moments from this year’s ceremony to make your life easier.

Here’s all the Grammys action you might have missed this year…

Justin and Hailey Bieber also made their first red carpet appearance together in four years, both sporting matching ‘ICE Out’ pins

Two words… Joni. Mitchell.

Lady Gaga was one of the last stars to arrive on the red carpet, but she was certainly worth the wait as she served the drama

Before the live Grammys broadcast was even underway, Steven Spielberg’s win made history as he became only the 22nd person in history to achieve EGOT status

We have a new obsession after watching Durand Bernarr’s speech multiple times over

Joni Mitchell also gave us this endearing moment after her 11th win at the Grammys

Meanwhile, Kehlani made her feelings on the current political situation in the US clear, ending her speech with simply: ‘Fuck ICE’

To kick things off on the main ceremony, Bruno Mars and Rosé gave an energetic and rocked-up rendition of their hit APT.

Sabrina Carpenter, true to form, brought the fun with her performance of Manchild

This year’s Best New Artist medley featured a fabulous segue from Addison Rae into Katseye

Alex Warren soldiered on after seemingly suffering technical difficulties during his performance of Ordinary

Then came a British double barrel of Lola Young, in her first TV appearance since stepping out of the spotlight towards the end of last year, followed by a joyful rendition of Man I Need by Olivia Dean

Olivia Dean then carried on the tradition of only women winning Best New Artist in the 2020s – and made a beautifully timely speech about being the ‘granddaughter of an immigrant’ and a ‘product of bravery’

Bad Bunny’s first of two major wins was followed by a powerful speech, declaring ‘ICE out’ and calling for love to triumph over hate

Lady Gaga’s rendition of Abracadabra was very, very slick

Trevor Noah made another political jibe when he took aim at Trump once again (more on that later, too)

Billie Eilish was quite clearly not expecting to win Song Of The Year for Wildflower

The way she froze because she genuinely couldn’t believe it. Oh Billie, the absolute angel you are. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/qSC7PCw8Cp

Billie Eilish also gave one of the night’s most explicitly political speeches, reminding everyone watching that ‘no one is illegal on stolen land’ (and also kept the censors busy when she, too, declared ‘fuck ICE’)

After that, Trevor Noah delivered his most barbed comment about Donald Trump of the whole Grammys ceremony

Trevor Noah takes another jab at Donald Trump #Grammys: “Song of the Year — that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton” pic.twitter.com/quUWEpX4NL

If you want to hear about the best performance of the night, that has to go to Tyler, The Creator

Rock legends past and present also came together to honour Ozzy Osbourne as his family watched on from the audience…

…and Ms Lauryn Hill’s tributes to both D’Angelo and Roberta Flack could not have been more star-studded, but the highlight was her reunion with Wyclef Jean

We don’t even know where to start with Cher, but let’s just say she brought some chaos to the proceedings on Grammys night

With five awards in total, Kendrick Lamar was this year’s top winner (and he was looking extremely dapper, too)

SZA’s Record Of The Year speech included a message encouraging people not to fall into despair in the current political climate

SZA accepts the #Grammy for Record of the Year and speaks out on the state of the nation: “Please don’t fall into despair. I know that right now is a scary time. We can go on—we need each other. We are not governed by the government; we’re governed by God.” pic.twitter.com/ULCoBf8Haq
