The biggest music awards show of the year- The Grammys 2014 has now come and gone, and what an occassion it was. Plenty of talent, glamour and shock moments left for a memorable show, but if you didn’t managed to catch it don’t worry, Her Campus Exeter has compiled a list of the top ten most memorable Grammy moments!
1. The Beyonce Performance
When Beyoncé opened the Grammys with her performance of “Drunk In Love”, it was so mindblowingly amazing and sexy that it reminded of us of just why Beyoncé is Queen of the universe. She was later joined on stage by her husband Jay-Z showing the world what a dream couple they make.
And of course we couldn’t help but feel insanely jealous at Beyoncé and Jay-Z being so loved up.
2. Macklemore Performance Sparks Multiple Marriages
33 straight and homosexual couples were married on stage at the Grammys by Queen Latifah during a medley performance of “Same Love” and “Open Your Heart” by Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert and Madonna. Queen Latifah introduced the performance by saying: “when we say music has the power to bring people together at the Grammys, we mean it. This song is a love song not for some of us, but for all of us.”
3. Pink’s Secret Talents
When Pink took to the stage and showed off her stunning acrobatic skills during a performance of “Try”, she reminded us just how cool she is.
4. Taylor Swift’s Mishap
Taylor Swift and her entourage mistakenly thought she had won the Grammy for Best Album of the Year- it was hilarious.

5. Jamie Foxx and Jay-Z
Jamie Foxx got flustered presenting the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and flirted with Beyoncé, which then led to a fake fight with Jay-Z.
6. Jay-Z’s Acceptance Speech
Jay-Z won the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Holy Grail” and provided probably the best quote of the evening: “And I want to tell Blue, look Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you”.
7. Musical Medley
Excitement was at a high when the stage was transformed into a recording studio and Daft Punk, Pharrell and Stevie Wonder performed a medley with the camera catching some hilarious celebrity dance moves during the performance. Also, on a side note, what was up with Pharrell’s hat? Were Her Campus Exeter the only ones getting distracted by Pharrell’s large, strangely shaped hat?
8. Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons
Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons joined together to perform a mash-up of “M.A.A.D. City” and “Radioactive” and gave an insanely rousing performance.
9. Taylor Swift’s Shock Performance
Taylor Swift gave a heartfelt performance of her song “All Too Well” and looked absolutely stunning, but then took a rather terrifying turn and started headbanging so violently we thought her head would fly off.
10. Cory Moneith Tribute Mishap
The Grammys held a tribute for Cory Monteith, but they misspelled his name.
Now you no longer have to feel clueless when you’re friends are talking about the Grammys! If you didn’t watch the Grammys, make sure to check out the rest of the performances for even more memorable moments!
