The biggest names in music descended upon the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2nd for the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. 

Sabrina Carpenter channeled Cinderella in her baby blue JW Anderson gown - ahead of her first ever performance at the Grammy Awards.

The 25-year-old singer, who went on to win her first Grammy during the evening's pre-ceremony for Best Pop Solo Performance and her second Grammy hours later during the show for Best Pop Vocal Album, showcased her chiseled back in the plunging number.

Taylor Swift brought the glamour and plenty of sparkle in a shimmering one-shoulder mini red dress - showcasing her incredibly long legs and her slim waist. She is wearing a Vivienne Westwood dress with Casadei heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

The Grammy award winning artist, 35, showed her support for boyfriend Travis Kelce by rocking the Kansas City Chiefs color - which is red - as well as a chain on one leg that had the letter T for Travis.. 

Cardi B flaunted her curvy figure in a gold and black tiger and zebra patterned Roberto Cavalli look while Olivia Rodrigo chose a sleek black cut-out Versace gown.

Sabrina channeled the Disney princess Cinderella, opting for her signature baby blue look.

The artist chose a silky halter JW Anderson gown that was backless, featuring feathered accents along her waist and along the hemline.

She chose to wear a pearl and diamond necklace backwards, adding a sparkling touch to the plunging look. 

Taylor wowed in the crimson Vivienne Westwood look, which had a corset-style bodice and a ruched skirt. 

The asymmetrical number flaunted her cleavage as well as her legs and waist, perfectly highlighting her incredible figure.

Taylor paired the statement dress - with crimson lipstick and her fringed locks loose around her.

She gave a sweet nod to boyfriend Travis with the T chain on her leg, as well as choosing a gown that was in his team color.

Travis is set to play in the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9th - with Taylor set to be there to support her boyfriend.

Page Six reported that Taylor collaborated with Lorraine Schwartz for her T leg chain. 

She notably sings the lyric in Guilty as Sin?: 'What if he's written "mine' on my upper thigh only in my mind?"' - with the leg chain appearing to reference that.

His team, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to play against the Philadelphia Eagles for the Championship title.

The 2025 Grammys were hosted by Trevor Noah for the fifth consecutive year.

The show raised funds to support fire relief efforts after the devastation caused by the LA blazes which began on January 7 in Pacific Palisades. 

Superstar singer Beyonce dominated, earning top prize at the Grammy Awards.

The singer won top honor Best Album for her country album, Cowboy Carter.

She triumphed over: André 3000 – New Blue Sun, Sabrina Carpenter – Short n’ Sweet, Charli xcx – Brat, Jacob Collier – Djesse Vol 4, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft, Chappell Roan – The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and Taylor Swift – The Tortured Poets Department.

Beyonce also finally earned her crown in the country genre as she won Best Country Album - and she was presented it by none other than Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards 2025.

She beat out an impressive field including: Chris Stapleton - Higher, Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well, Lainey Wilson - Whirlwind, and Post Malone - F-1 Trillion.

Beyonce's Cowboy Carter was viewed by experts and fans as a reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black Americans within country music and culture.

It became the first album by a Black woman to land at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart when it was released last spring.

The Beyonce album was snubbed, however, by voters for the Country Music Awards in September.

Beyonce's other Grammy nods included record and song of the year for single 'Texas Hold 'Em.' Her 11 nominations brought her lifetime total to 99, more than any other artist. Prior to Friday, she had been tied for the lead with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, who has 88.

In challenging times, music has the power to heal, comfort, and unite like nothing else.

'The Grammys will not only honor the artistry and achievements of our music community but also serve as a platform to amplify the spirit of resilience that defines this great city of Los Angeles.'

MusiCares and the Recording Academy have created the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort and pledged $1 million to support musicians and those working in the industry who are impacted by the wildfires.
