This year's Grammys brought together the biggest hits of the year and beyond. They also highlighted some viral moments that we'll be talking about for years to come — and some that were so scary we hope to soon forget.
Read below for the best, worst, or most outrageous moments from the 2025 Grammy Awards:
Best reaction: Beyoncé's win for best country album
Many may have jumped for joy at home when Beyoncé won best country album for "Cowboy Carter," but Beyoncé herself was frozen in the moment. What can be said for sure about this reaction is that Beyoncé just provided the material for a meme that will be making the rounds online very soon.
Best Use of Karate: Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter's blue silk dress seemed like standard fare for the retro-chic style she favors, until she turned around to reveal how the dress was held up by a Chopard diamond ring, leaving us all speechless.
Worst (undressing) attempt to get attention: Kanye West and Bianca Censori
Kanye West would have all eyes on him just because of his return to the Grammys red carpet for the first time in 10 years, but his wife had to make a dramatic coat drop to reveal a surprise that took the attention away from him! The censor appeared completely naked in a short transparent dress. The move was probably designed to shock people, but it caused sighs and eye rolls from most of the attendees.
Mommy's Best Daughter: Doechii
As she accepted her award for best rap album — the third woman in history to win the honor — Doechii thanked God and her mother, who she brought on stage to share the moment with her. Her mother looked on proudly as Doechii delivered a powerful message.
Drake's Worst Night: Kendrick Lamar's Victory
With the song everyone knows, "Not Like Us," Lamar's diss song about his musical enemy Drake, won the award for best song of 2024.
Oops! and Ouch!: Beyoncé's dress breakdown
Not that anything could take away Bey's glow during her big win, but the wires sticking out of her dress are a painful experience that every girl has experienced with her bras, and it couldn't help but stand out during the event.
The best night for underwear
Even stars in dresses (including Jennifer Lopez and Chrissy Teigen) — and performers like Doechii and Sabrina Carpenter, who started their songs fully clothed, then went for quick changes that revealed their devotion to pairings with… underwear.
The coolest support team: VIP kids
Shakira's sons Milan and Sasha in serious suits, Kehlani's daughter in a black dress, Blue Ivy looking like her mom's manager, and Alicia Keys' son Genesis leading the applause during her acceptance speech! It was an incredibly adorable night at the Grammys.
Most dramatic nails: Cardi B, Cynthia Erivo and Doechii
These stars stand out every time they step on stage, but Cardi B, Cynthia Erivo, and Doechii were coming in loud and clear with their artistic, long nails from the moment they stepped onto the red carpet.
Most Creative Artists: Jaden and Willow Smith
Will Smith's children Jaden made sure he didn't draw too much attention to himself, donning a large house-shaped hat (Jaden) and elements that gave the idea of ??a "salad leaf in the teeth" (Willow).
