The 66th Grammy Awards took place on Sunday (February 4), and just like most major award shows, it was also packed with memorable moments, some a little weirder than others.

The event, which honored the best recordings, compositions, and artists from October 1, 2022, to September 15, saw Taylor Swift making history as the first solo artist to win Album of the Year four times, but she also became the butt of host Trevor Noah’s jokes, except this time she loved it.

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus graced the red carpet with a gravity-defying hairdo and a show-stopping dress before taking home her first Grammy, and Céline Dion made a surprising appearance at the Grammys in the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, amidst her health condition, when she announced the nominees for Album of the Year.

Bored Panda takes a look at other show-stopping moments from the ceremony.

Sounds like they are digging at the bottom of the barrel for their rap names. Just my thoughts. Not very original.

That’s when viewers noticed Beyoncé seemingly using her huge cowboy hat to cover her face as soon as the attention turned to her.

As Laverne asked the 31-year-old artist how he was doing, she was met with a monotone “Just a fun moment, yeah.” The rest of his replies kept the same energy.

“Bless Laverne Cox for staying strong lol,” a person quipped on X (formerly known as Twitter).

They didn't have a problem singing along with Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs. Maybe that tells us something.

Taylor Swift Received Backlash For “Snubbing” Céline Dion

Upon making a rare appearance at the ceremony, amid her battle with stiff-person syndrome, to present Taylor Swift with Album of the Year, the Queen of Power Ballads was seemingly ignored, some Grammy viewers noticed on social media.

Clips of the awkward moment showed Taylor failing to acknowledge Céline after taking her award from her hands before quickly looking back to celebrate the moment with her collaborators instead.

People have exclaimed their disappointment on social media for not respecting the music icon, as a person wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Not trying to be a hater but being handed a Grammy by Celine Dion in her very triumphant first public appearance in a long time and barely making eye contact [is] insane.”

I’m sooo tired of reading “ X (formerly known as Twitter)” I’m gonna barf on my iPad. I still call it “Twitter,” and everyone else says “formerly known as Twitter,” and if we’re gonna add all that rigamarole, let’s just call it “Twitter.”

She doesn't deserve awards. She doesn't even deserve the number of albums she sells. Yet, people are immune to terrible musicians and painful, ear-stabbing lyrics.

I guess it's weird. If she was amazing then it probably wasn't too weird.

Jay-Z Called Out The Recording Academy, And Beyoncé Wasn’t Impressed

Jay-Z Called Out The Recording Academy, And Beyoncé Wasn’t Impressed

Jay-Z used his acceptance speech at the 2024 Grammys to call out the Recording Academy, which honored him with a special award. 

Upon accepting the 2nd annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, the 54-year-old hip-hop star said:

"We want y'all to get it right. At least getting close to right. And obviously, it's subjective. Y'all don't gotta clap at everything."

“Obviously, it's subjective because, you know, it's music, and it's opinion-based. But, you know, some things — I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year."

“So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys never won Album of the Year. That doesn't work,” People reported.

The rapper might’ve not mentioned his wife by name, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume he was referring to Beyoncé, who kept a very stoic composure throughout his speech.

Umm yall completely missed his point. He was encouraging other artists to keep going, even if they don’t win Grammys or any other awards because they are subjective. Continue your craft and do it because you enjoy it and your fans appreciate you, not for these awards. And she was impressed, she smiled and nodded.
