Bowie tribute. Yes @ladygaga . This performance was produced by Nile Rodgers. Fashion! Turn to the left! #GRAMMYs

The focus on exactly replicating hair and makeup almost makes it look cartoonish and takes away from their artistic kindred spirit #GRAMMYs

They couldn't have found a better person for this Bowie tribute @ladygaga #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:30:06 AM
My favourite gender-bending tribute of all time: Annie Lennox singing Freddie Mercury's part in Under Pressure still wins #grammys

A bluesy tribute to B.B. King by Bonnie Raitt, Chris Stapleton and Gary Clark Jr.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:41:15 AM
All three performers are Grammy winners

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:42:28 AM
Now this is a tribute I can get on-board with: worthy of the King. Bonnie RUUUULES! #cbcnewsarts #GRAMMYs

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 3:43:32 AM
Stapleton apparently missed hearing that he was nominated for Grammy awards this year because he had the wrong channel on.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 3:43:37 AM
The tribute to B.B. King was spot on with @ChrisStapleton @TheBonnieRaitt @GaryClarkJr #GRAMMYs

The band Hollywood Vampires, consisting of Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry will be making their first TV appearance tonight.

Love watching these guys perform. #AlabamaShakes #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:50:28 AM
Alabama Shakes, who won their first three Grammys today and are still up for album of the year, are performing.

The Hollywood Vampires have just started playing and there's already tons of pyrotechnics.

The Hollywood Vampires - Alice Cooper, Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Johnny Depp - performing together for first time on TV #GRAMMYs

#Grammys producers every year: now how can we involve Dave Grohl in this year's show? #cbcnewsarts

Alice Cooper x Johnny Depp x Joe Perry debut their rock supergroup TheHollywood Vampires for a #LemmyKilmister tribute #GRAMMYs #motorhead

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 3:58:38 AM
Not to say I didn't love his intro--and kind of wish he was on stage right now for the Lemmy tribute #cbcnewsarts #GRAMMYs

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 3:58:39 AM
Wait, all these amazing performances and you're going to get Pitbull to close the show? Really? #Grammys #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 4:03:32 AM
2016's youngest Grammy nominee, 12-year-old Joey Alexander, is playing piano on stage right now.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:08:29 AM
Alexander is getting a standing ovation.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:09:18 AM
Wow, was that an anti-streaming message? #Grammys #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 4:11:41 AM
Sad to see all those faces. Among those who passed in the past year, #NatalieCole & #ReneAngelil #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 4:18:02 AM
And album of the year goes to...Taylor Swift

t

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:21:38 AM
And...cue the headlines tomorrow: Taylor wins over Kendrick Lamar? He'll get Record of the Year, though. #Grammys #cbcnewsarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 4:22:15 AM
Taylor is the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:22:47 AM
Oh man...that cutaway

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 4:23:20 AM
Taylor possibly fired a verbal shot and Kanye West. She warned young girls that people might try to "take credit for your success or your fame," possibly a reference to the Kanye West lyric: "I made that b---- famous."

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:24:18 AM
My only issue is I feel like '1989' has been winning awards for a while now, wasn't that album released like two years ago?! #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 4:24:53 AM
Queen Bey!

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 4:25:29 AM
Presented by Beyonce, record of the year goes to Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:25:56 AM
Uptown Funk wins 'Record of the Year' - nice work @BrunoMars ! #GRAMMYs

by Tashauna Reid via twitter 2/16/2016 4:26:10 AM
Charles Moniz, a sound engineer from Burlington, Ont., was part of the Uptown Funk team.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:26:21 AM
#TaylorSwift sends message 2 young women after winning #GRAMMYs #AlbumOfTheYear : "focus on the work", don't let others take credit 4 success

by Zulekha Nathoo via twitter 2/16/2016 4:27:10 AM
Pitbull, Travis Barker, Robin Thicke and Joe Perry are performing the final song of the night. A pretty interesting combination of performers.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:27:27 AM
So the end of the night tally for Canada's top performers: The Weeknd goes home with two awards, Justin Bieber with one, and Drake is empty handed after being continually beat by Kendrick Lamar.

by Jillian Bell 2/16/2016 4:28:23 AM
In case you guys thought that couldn't get any sleazier... #Grammys #cbcnewarts

by Deana Sumanac via twitter 2/16/2016 4:29:40 AM
It's like #Pitbull is speeding up his performance as they run out of time! #Grammys2016 And Sofia Vergara is no Beyonce.

Finally. Pitbull AND Robin Thicke together. My prayers have been answered.
