The 2016 Grammy Awards are now in the rear-view mirror, and like always, the show itself featured memorable performances (a fiery number from multiple winner Kendrick Lamar), and stirring tributes to Glenn Frey and Living Legend Lionel Richie (plus Lady Gaga’s showstopper ode to David Bowie)
Some highlights include Taylor Swift becoming the first woman in Grammy history to win Best Album twice, Meghan Trainor’s tearful acceptance of Best New Artist, and Little Big Town winning two Grammys for their unfortunately controversial “Girl Crush.”
Take a look at this year’s winners.
