The 15 Most Important Moments of the Grammys

Last night, the Grammys took over media feeds and televisions across America. From Queen Bey proving that she is and will always be American royalty to Queen Latifah presiding over 33 simultaneous marriages (real ones!), the 2014 Grammys were definitely one for the record books. In case you weren’t able to watch the hours long spectacle, here are the most important moments…in no particular order.

1. Beyoncé opened the show, looking like this.

2. She then shook her booty like this.

3. And danced with Jay-Z like this.

4. Taylor Swift showed how much she liked to dance.

5. And head bang.

6. Pharrell wore a hat that looked like something Smokey the Bear would wear.


7. And inspired an explosion of internet memes.


8. Ringo Starr and Sir Paul reunited to sing McCartney’s new song.

9. Lorde looked cute and surprised when she won Best Pop Solo Performance.

10. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis took home the Grammy for Best New Artist.


11. And Queen Latifah presided over 33 simultaneous weddings during their performance of “Same Love.”

12. Katy Perry wore a Valentino couture gown that walked down the runway not a week ago, proving that she truly is the Princess of Pop.


13. And Pink did some major trapeze work during her performance (Was she lip-synching? Wouldn’t blame her TBH).

14.  Jay-Z thanked the ladies in his life in the most adorable way when accepting his award for best Rap Collab for “Magna Carta… Holy Grail.”


15. And gave his bride maybe the most precious kiss ever in Grammy history.
