The 61st Annual Grammy Awards took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10. Alicia Keys hosted the ceremony, which aired live on CBS for more than three-and-a-half hours.
While the musicians in attendance wanted to find out if they were going home with trophies or not, the majority of the program featured killer performances, as many Grammys were handed out before the television broadcast began.
Camila Cabello opened up the show with a colorful performance of “Havana,” which featured guest vocals from J Balvin, Young Thug, and Ricky Martin.
Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, and Little Big Town took part in an all-star tribute to Dolly Parton with the singer herself that featured songs such as “Here You Come Again,” “Jolene,” and “9 to 5.”
Other notable performances were given by Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Janelle Monae, Kacey Musgraves, and the legendary Diana Ross.
One of the biggest moments of the night featured Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and former first lady Michelle Obama standing onstage all together to discuss the impact music has had on each of their lives, as previously reported by the Inquisitr .
As for as the actual Grammy Awards, Childish Gambino and Kacey Musgraves were the big winners of the night, with each earning four gramophone trophies. Lady Gaga took home three awards, two for “Shallow” from the A Star Is Born soundtrack and one for her solo song “Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin?).”
