The 61st Annual Grammy Awards stretched across four and a half hours and contained its share of both triumphant and cringe-inducing performances! 

While Drake’s appearance was huge, the list of prominent no-shows was huge: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake. The most glaring absence of all was Childish Gambino, who won two of the night’s top prizes (Record of the Year and Song of the Year), forcing Alicia Keys to fill for time and show off her amazing talent of playing two pianos at once...

Anyway, a huge congratulations to all the winners this year!
