Last night saw the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California. And as with any awards ceremony, there was fashion (more on that later), there were winners, losers and many entertaining moments in between.
So if you weren’t able to catch the ceremony itself here are some Top Grammy Moments …
1) Poor old Taylor Swift is getting an awful slagging this morning for almost thinking she won ‘Album of the year’. To be fair – Winning album from Daft Punk (Random Access Memories) begins with the same letter as her nominated album (Red) so we can’t blame her. Check out the poor sods split second reaction here.

2) A rather poignant moment of the night – When Macklemore & Ryan Lewis performed their ‘Pro Equality’ hit song ‘Same Love’, they invited Queen Latifah to introduce their act, featuring Mary Lambert (with a surprise appearence from Madonna). Mid way through the powerful song, Queen Latifah announced 33 couples had joined them at the event to get married. There were same-sex couples, mixed race couples and male-female couples all there to represent the songs message, that no matter what, it’s all the same love. There were a few tears shed in the house. The pair also took home 4 awards.

3) Attendees were treated to a raunchy opening performance from Beyonce singing ‘Drunk Love’ off her newest album. The bootiful babe grinded on a kitchen chair in a black bodysuit until hubby Jay Z came on stage and the pair made us all feel terrible about our own relationships (Seriously perfect power couple!)

4) Katy Perry gave us a witch-themed performance of her new track ‘Dark Horse’. With an impressive stage set up of tree’s, girls pole dancing around broom sticks and plenty of bendy dancers. It’s also a great song.

5) As well as taking home the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Jay Z also takes home the award for most adorable speech, declaring “Look, Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you!” to daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
