Another year and time for one of the most prestigious music awards – the Grammys! As always, the biggest names in the music industry turned up to last night’s awards ceremony to watch amazing performances from Taylor Swift, Mumford & Sons and Elton John, as well as a Bob Marley tribute from Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Sting, Ziggy and Damian Marley.
It was also somewhat of a comeback for Justin Timberlake who’s been seen on the silver screen more than the stage lately. He performed Suit & Tie, joined by Jay-Z before breaking into new single Pusher Love Girl.
As expected, all eyes were on Rihanna and Chris Brown, but the biggest controversy of the night had nothing to with the pair. Nope, the shocker was... Adele didn’t wear black!
