The 2014 Grammy Awards brought show-stopping performances from Beyonce and Jay Z, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Madonna

acceptance speeches, too. Relive some of the biggest, headline-making
moments from the 2014 Grammys below.


1. Beyonce, Jay Z Open Grammys 2014 With Sexy “Drunk in Love” Performance

 Starting things off with the biggest bang ever! Beyonce and Jay Z kicked
off the Grammys 2014 inside L.A.’s Staples Center Sunday, Jan. 26 with a
performance that’ll be difficult to top. Although rapper Jay Z, 44, is
the one up for multiple statues this year for his Holy Grail album, Blue
Ivy’s mom and dad selected a duet-track from Beyonce’s late-December
surprise album, “Drunk in Love” for their set. (Us Weekly was first to reveal that the super-couple would be performing together.)


2. Madonna
Performs “Same Love” With Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert: Watch
Queen Latifah Officiate Weddings During the Performance

A legendary collaboration took place at the 2014 Grammy Awards, which
aired live from the Staples Center. Pop icon Madonna took the stage
with rapper Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and featured vocalist Mary Lambert to sing the marriage-equality anthem “Same Love” as Queen Latifah officiated 34 weddings live.

3. Taylor Swift Dances, Rocks Out to Kendrick Lamar, Imagine Dragons’ Grammys Performance

Best performance of the night? Taylor Swift sure seemed to think so! Kendrick Lamar performed a mash-up of his “M.A.A.A.d City” with Imagine Dragons’
“Radioactive” at the 2014 Grammy Awards. The 26-year-old hip hop artist
and Las Vegas band rocked out on stage together — but not quite as
hard as Swift did in the audience.

4. Katy Perry Dresses Like Witch, Gets Burned at the Stake During “Dark Horse” Grammys 2014 Performance

Witch hunt! Katy Perry went all out for her performance of “Dark
Horse.” The 29-year-old singer took the stage dressed like a witch for
the dark and mysterious performance.

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for his song “Holy Grail,” which features
Justin Timberlake.

6. Taylor Swift Headbangs Violently Singing Jake Gyllenhaal’s “All Too Well” at 2014 Grammys: 

Holy headbang! Taylor Swift left her heart on the floor while

songstress sang a stripped-down piano performance of “All Too Well,”
believed to be about ex Jake Gyllenhaal.

7. Beyonce Wears a Sheer Gown with White Detail to the 2014 Grammys After Performance

Bootyliciousness defined! After her jaw-dropping show-opening

(and sheer) gown for the rest of the Grammy Awards, where she and her
man sat in the front row inside L.A.’s Staples Center.

8. Stevie Wonder Joins Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk in “Get Lucky” Performance

The ultimate collaboration? Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk were joined by a very special guest at the 2014 Grammys: Stevie Wonder. The 63-year-old musician graced the group with his presence to give an unforgettable performance of their hit “Get Lucky.”
