GRAMMYs 2016 Recap: Taylor Swift Wins Big, Kendrick & Lady Gaga Steal Stage
The 58th annual GRAMMY Awards hit the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday, Feb. 15 for more than three-and-a-half hours of musical mayhem. Taylor Swift opened the show with a strong performance of "Out of the Woods"; from there, things quickly jumped from hip-hop (Best Rap Album, where Kendrick Lamar grabbed the night's first award) to country (a lovely duet from Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt).
The first non-genre prize, Song of the Year, went to Ed Sheeran (who won his first GRAMMY shortly pre-telecast) and co-writer Amy Wadge for "Thinking Out Loud" (Swift, also nominated, was psyched out of her mind). Stevie Wonder did the honors, flipping open the envelope and teasing the crowd that only a Braille-speaker would be able to read it.
