Last night was all about music’s most star-studded event of
the year. The 55th Annual
Grammy Awards
took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Did you tune in?
A grand total of 81 mini golden record players were awarded
to singers, songwriters and composers. Notable performances by Kelly Clarkson,
Fun., Elton John and Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys and Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake
and an unforgettable opener by Taylor Swift rocked the night. While singing her hit “We Are Never Ever
Getting Back Together,” our dear Swifty def used a mocking, British accent
(watch out, Mr. Styles).
Watch Taylor’s performance of her song nominated for Record
of the Year below…
