Sheeran says his parents have flown into the Grammys for the last four years. "Every time I lose they go, 'maybe next year!'"

I love how while Stevie Wonder was making his "you can't read this, you can't read Braille" joke, everyone was so nervous to laugh #GRAMMYs

Eagles with Jackson Browne are performing Take it Easy in tribute to Glenn Frey.

So @rihanna apparently cancelled her Grammy performance due to bronchitis. Just when you thought you'd get to see a little #workworkworkwork

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:17:29 AM
Also...where's @Beyonce ?!

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:19:21 AM
Best new artist nominees James Bay and Tori Kelly are performing a duet, accompanied only by the guitars they're both playing.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 2:25:10 AM
Why can’t @torikelly & @JamesBayMusic play together ALL the time?! #GRAMMYs

by Recording Academy via twitter 2/16/2016 2:25:25 AM
Another great matchup: @ToriKelly and @JamesBayMusic . I've been a fan of Tori for a while now but enjoying James too #GRAMMYs

Reports: Rihanna showed up to #GRAMMYs but then left due to case of bronchitis. She was going to perform Kiss Me Better but pulled out.

The cast of acclaimed musical Hamilton is about to perform the show's opening number live from New York.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 2:29:16 AM
Really excited to see what Broadway has in store for the #GRAMMYs from the show 'Hamilton'

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:29:24 AM
Agreed my friend! twitter.com/nilkoksalcbc/s…

The Broadway geek in me is loving a musical being included in the #Grammys celebration--this is so excellent #hamiltonmusical #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 2:30:55 AM
Right...so if we want to go see Hamilton when we go to New York in a few weeks, we won't get a chance to, right? #GRAMMYs #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 2:31:09 AM
Great performance by the cast of 'Hamilton' - I hope it comes to Canada at some point ????????

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:36:47 AM
My guess is the number of people now trying to get tickets to #Hamilton just shot up exponentially... well played #GRAMMYs #hamiltonmusical

by Zulekha Nathoo via twitter 2/16/2016 2:39:02 AM
Okay...@kendricklamar I know you won't disappoint. Especially when Don Cheadle does your intro ; ) #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:40:10 AM
Grammy tally for @kendricklamar 5/11. Not bad...#GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:40:54 AM
OK, LL Cool J has been talking up Kendrick Lamar's performance for a while--let's see this! #GRAMMYs #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 2:41:41 AM
As a rapper, as a lyricist, @kendricklamar is on a different level #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:42:11 AM
The set for Kendrick Lamar's performance is more elaborate than anything we've seen so far tonight. It's constructed to look like a prison.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 2:42:13 AM
This is what I was waiting for. K E N D R I C K ????????????#GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:43:26 AM
Kendrick Lamar approaches stage in handcuffs, performing against prison backdrop. 5 #GRAMMYs so far, but this wins night. #powerfulmessage

by Zulekha Nathoo via twitter 2/16/2016 2:44:41 AM
The safe vibe of the #GRAMMYs this year is over--Kendrick Lamar injects political opinion and attitude...and jazz! #GRAMMYs #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 2:44:52 AM
Watch sweat fly off Kendrick Lamar. This man works hard. #cbcnewsarts #GRAMMYs

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 2:46:37 AM
Hamilton takes the prize for best musical theatre album...not unexpected.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 2:48:20 AM
Wow. @kendricklamar just owned the #GRAMMYs stage. From slavery to modern day slavery, that imagery. Those words. Simply, in awe. Powerful.

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:48:23 AM
Still taking in Kendrick almost forgot to tweet that 'Hamilton' wins Best Musical Theatre Album #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 2:50:16 AM
#Adele performs All I Ask, co-written by Bruno Mars. And the world sits still for a few minutes. #GRAMMYs

by Zulekha Nathoo via twitter 2/16/2016 3:01:17 AM
Wow, @Adele looks gorgeous in this red sequin dress...dare I say not my favourite performance by her.

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:04:10 AM
Woop' @justinbieber showing us he can really sing #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:13:13 AM
And now for the song that got @justinbieber his first Grammy with @diplo & @Skrillex #whereareyounow

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:14:40 AM
Not a fan of his leopard print or goatee but definitely taken w #JustinBieber 's acoustic version of Love Yourself. Ya done good. #GRAMMYs

by Zulekha Nathoo via twitter 2/16/2016 3:15:46 AM
Not feeling this version of #whereareyounow , please let @diplo & @Skrillex show off their talent with that beat that makes this song so epic

Sam Smith, the 2015 winner of the best new artist Grammy, is announcing the category.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:18:12 AM
Meghan Trainor wins best new artist and gives a tearful speech.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:19:11 AM
Oh wow, @Meghan_Trainor wins a Grammy for Best New Artist. Aww she can't hold back the tears! "I'm a mess I have to go cry" #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:19:38 AM
It's kind of weird that Trainor was in the best new artist category, as she was nominated for two Grammys last year.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:20:05 AM
While I don't think of Meghan Trainor as a new artist (she was one last yr), the moment with her teary dad got me #GRAMMYs #cbcnewsarts

Lady Gaga is paying tribute to David Bowie. Gaga has already gotten a large tattoo of Bowie on her torso to commemorate the occasion

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:25:26 AM
Is it bad that I'm not loving this Lady Gaga tribute to david Bowie as much as I thought I would? #Grammys #cbcnewsarts
