The 58th annual Grammy Awards took place on February 15th, as Taylor Swift opened up the ceremony performing the song from her hit album 1989, “Out of the Woods” to give the audience a little taste of what the night had in store.

The host, rapper and actor, LL Cool J, introduced the night and gave the audience an uplifting speech about how “The Grammy Awards are a special day when the world’s greatest musical heroes come together for one day on the Grammy stage to celebrate the awesome power of music.”

Following Swift, country singers Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt performed a duet of their songs, “Take your Time” and “Heartbeat” along with R&B sensation, The Weeknd’s performance of “Can’t Feel My Face” and “In the Night.”

John Legend, Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan, Meghan Trainor, and Tyrese then performed a tribute to Lionel Richie, who then joined to finish off the performance, singing “All Night Long” and getting the crowd pumped up.

After, Little Big Town performed their song that struggled to emerge to the top of the charts due to the controversy of the message of the song, “Girl Crush.”

The Eagles then performed a very heartfelt and emotional tribute to their lead vocalist, Glenn Frey, whom passed away last month from an ongoing disease. The group was joined by co-writer, Jackson Browne, to perform their hit “Take it Easy.”

Performances also included, newcomers, Tori Kelly and James Bay’s mash up of their hit songs “Hollow” and “Let it Go”, and Kendrick Lamar’s “The Blacker the Berry” and “Alright” did not disappoint the crowd.

This Grammy show will make history for the music industry because they brought the Grammy’s to Broadway with an outstanding, live, performance from the cast of, “Hamilton”, which consists of a fast paced rap show about events in Alexander Hamilton’s life in politics.

Adele then took the stage to perform her highly anticipated song, “All I Ask.” However, during the performance there were some technical difficulties with sound, which left Adele in complete embarrassment. The day after she told Ellen Degeneres during an interview that she “pretty much cried all day” and “It was a letdown personally” due to the fact that she had to face this mishap on television and she was not able to make a joke of it. Despite that it was distracting, Adele still crushed her performance and left fans in awe, some even tweeting “my love will never change for my queen.”

Following Adele’s performance, Justin Bieber took the stage alone to perform an acoustic version of his hit “Love Yourself”, leading into a performance with Skrillex and Diplo of their collaborated song, “Where Are Ü Now” which was filled with flashing lights, electric instruments, and dancing, leaving many fans in tears because of how proud they are.

The final performances were Lady Gaga’s tribute to David Bowie, who recently passed away, singing “Changes”, “Ziggy Stardust”, and “Suffragette City.” Pitbull closed the show performing “El Taxi” and “Bad Man” joined by Sofia Vergara who was twirling around stage to add to the finale.
