Music’s biggest event of the year just wrapped up in Hollywood: the 62nd annual Grammy Awards kicked off in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The awards ceremony, hosted by Alicia Keys, featured performances from musicians such as Billie Eilish and Lizzo, two of the Grammys’s most-nominated artists. Stars such as Ariana Grande, the Jonas Brothers, Tyler, the Creator, and more put up a show as well.

While sadness loomed over the ceremony and the awards were pretty much a teary affair: performers at the Staples Center took the stage below the retired jerseys of late US Basketball player Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash earlier in the day.

The night also included triumphs for first-time Grammy winners like Lizzo, who kicked off the show with a jubilant performance, and Billie Eilish, who swept the big five categories for the first time since Christopher Cross in 1981. The ceremony continued its history of bold fashion statements as well.
