If you didn’t watch this year’s Grammys, you missed 3 and a half hours filled with high energy, funny skits and show-stopping performances. But there’s no need to fear—your personal award show reviewer is here! For those of you who didn’t tune in, here are the most iconic moments that you need to know about to understand every post-show conversation, joke and meme.

1. Katy Perry sported a… unique outfit on the red carpet.

2. Chance the Rapper was the first black hip-hop artist to win Best New Artist since 1999.

3. 21 Pilots took off their pants before accepting their award to fulfill an old pact.

4. Laverne Cox using her role as an announcer to talk about Gavin Grimm , a transgender teenager who is going to Supreme Court in March.

5. Beyoncé’s performance was literally life-changing.

6. Seriously, did you see the visuals?!

7. Blue Ivy jumped into James Corden’s carpool karaoke skit and saved the entire bit from being a complete wreck.

8. Bruno Mars broke down his song “That’s What I Like” for the ladies.

9. Little Big Town sang “Teenage Dreams” to announce Katy Perry’s performance, and in doing so almost upstaged her.

10. Katy Perry ended her performance standing in front of a backdrop of the Constitution. I wonder if she was trying to make a statement?

11. Beyoncé read her acceptance speech from a gold piece of paper that matched her outfit like the goddess she is.

12. Adele had to start over her George Michael tribute after making a mistake. What the mistake was, I can’t tell you, because she sounded like her regular fabulous self.

13. Production seriously dropped the ball during the Metallica-Lady Gaga performance.

14. Production also cut off Adele’s producer during the acceptance speech for Song of the Year. The audience booed, and let’s be real—they deserved it.

15. A Tribe Called Quest’s entire performance was a tribute to the late member Phife Dawg and a middle finger to our president.

16. Busta Rhymes referred to Trump as “President Agent Orange.”

17. Bruno Mars KILLED his guitar solo during the Prince tribute.

18. Pentatonix reminded everybody why they’re three-time Grammy winners during a quick cover of Jackson 5’s “ABC.”

19. Chance the Rapper’s performance was dedicated to everybody who hasn’t gone to church in a while.

20. When the Grammys SNUBBED Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” in favor of Adele’s “25,” Adele took the time during her acceptance speech to devote the win to Queen Bey herself, even breaking the Grammy in half and giving a piece to her fellow nominee.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
