Yes, we're diving headfirst into the fantastical realm of the Grammy Award show - where the Grammys red carpet is as sizzling as a bassline, and the stage is set for notes to dance like confetti in the air.
There have been so many amazing moments at the Grammys over the years. But which were the best of the best?
Let's go through the top Grammy Awards moments.
J.Lo's Dress
One of the most iconic and memorable moments in Grammy Awards history involves Jennifer Lopez and her stunning fashion choice.
At the 2000 Grammy Awards, J.Lo wore a Versace dress that would go on to make fashion history. The dress was a plunging, jungle-print silk chiffon gown with a neckline that extended well below her navel.
The sheer daring and boldness of the outfit captured the attention of the audience and the media alike, instantly becoming a major talking point of the event. A true Barbie moment for J.Lo!
Yoko Ono Remembers John Lennon
One of the most poignant and emotionally charged moments in Grammy Awards history occurred in 1982 when Yoko Ono, widow of the legendary John Lennon, took the stage to accept the Album of the Year award for "Double Fantasy," a collaborative album by Lennon and Ono.
The album, released just before Lennon's tragic death in 1980, marked a comeback for the couple and featured songs that reflected their personal and artistic journey.
Pink's First Aerials
In 2010, Pink took her performance to new heights - quite literally. During her rendition of "Glitter in the Air," she defied gravity by soaring above the audience on a trapeze. Of course, Pink now often works these moves in her routine, but the 2010 performance at the Grammy award show was the test run.
Adele Sweeps the Grammys
Adele is one of the top Grammy Award winners. In 2012, Adele achieved an extraordinary sweep, winning in all six categories for which she was nominated. The British singer-songwriter's sophomore album, "21," became a global phenomenon, and the Grammy Awards that year were a testament to its immense success.
Adele took home the prestigious awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video.
Soy Bomb
As Bob Dylan was singing "Love Sick" during the 1998 Grammys, a seemingly spontaneous disruption took place when a performance artist named Michael Portnoy stormed the stage with the words "Soy Bomb" painted on his chest.
The term "Soy Bomb" itself did not have a clear meaning, though Portnoy did try and explain his meaning in later interviews. Portnoy's dance and the phrase "Soy Bomb" raised numerous questions and interpretations, contributing to the mystique of the Grammy Awards that year.
