The 2012 Grammys Awards are underway, and even before the televised show begins, the Recording Academy was busy announcing 2012 Grammy award winners in several categories. In the live pre-telecast ceremony, approximately 70 out of the 78 winners are announced before the show itself, where winners in the major categories will be revealed.
Taylor Swift won two Grammy Awards this afternoon for ‘Mean,’ a song she wrote about someone who didn’t treat her right. And if you’re wondering whether the young singer still carries a chip on her shoulder, check out what she said during her acceptance speeches.
While much of the focus at the 2012 Grammy Awards has been on the passing of Whitney Houston, another vocal legend who died last month was honored during tonight’s broadcast when Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt teamed up to pay tribute to Etta James.
Jay-Z and Kanye West nabbed the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance for ‘Otis’ from their blazing hot ‘Watch the Throne’ collaborative album, which dropped in the summer. Sadly, neither the Hova or Yeezy were in attendance to collect their statues at the ceremony, so presenters Fergie and Marc Anthony graciously accepted on their behalf.
Bruno Mars was the first pop act to perform at the 2012 Grammy Awards and the second performer overall, following classic rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who opened the show. Mars rocked his way through ‘Runaway Baby’ with a classic, Rat Pack energy. His performance was inspired by another era. But that’s what Mars does so well. He even busted out a golden megaphone mid-set, too.
She found her way into the ears and hearts of millions around the world with her surprise viral hit ‘Friday,’ and now Rebecca Black is mingling with music’s best at the Grammy Awards. She was spotted on the red carpet in a black dress and sporting red shoes, but the question on most of our minds is, “Why is she there?”
Nicki Minaj is no stranger to fierce, sometimes off-the-wall fashion, but her red carpet ensemble at tonight’s Grammy ceremony is very out there, even for her. Minaj sported a hooded, red silk gown — that looked an awful lot like a scarlet nun’s habit — with beading on the skirt in the shape of a woman’s face. But that wasn’t even the weirdest part. The strangest part of Minaj’s wardrobe choice tonight wasn’t a part of her outfit at all.
Interviewing celebs at the Grammy Awards can be overwhelming, but their were two girls almost too eager for the task: YouTube sensations Sophia Grace and Rosie (aka the ‘Super Bass’ girls).
Tonight at the 2012 Grammy Awards, pop stars hit the red carpet for pictures prior to the big event. Like any other A-list award show, stars like Adele, Bruno Mars, David Guetta, Kelly Rowland, Wiz Khalifa plus many more hit the red carpet at the 2012 Grammy Awards dressed to the nines.
Kanye West nabbed three awards at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 12) in Los Angeles. The rapper-producer won Best Rap / Sung Collaboration for ‘All of the Lights,’ which featured a slew of artists including Rihanna, Kid Cudi and Fergie.
