Relive The Best Moments From This Year's Grammy Awards

If you're living under a rock, you might not know that the 59th Annual Grammy Awards Show happened on Sunday night. Music's biggest night always promises beautiful gowns, show-stopping performances, and heart-wrenching acceptance speeches. And this year's ceremony did not disappoint. Here are some of the most iconic parts of the night, in case you missed them.

James Corden Hosts

Though he may be best known as the driver in the viral Carpool Karaoke videos, the Late Late Show on CBS's host had a ton of not-so-hidden talents up his sleeve as this year's host. Corden opened the show by falling down the stairs, then preceding to flawlessly rap his opening monologue. Another highlight was a particularly special edition of Carpool Karaoke done live, featuring JLo, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, John Legend, and Neil Diamond all singing his classic "Sweet Caroline." To top it off, Blue Ivy Carter herself ran over to join the Carpool fun.

Beyonce and Blue Ivy steal the show

The Carpool Karaoke appearance was just the beginning for Blue Ivy Carter. The five-year-old daughter of Beyonce and Jay-Z rocked a Prince-inspired ensemble and seemed to be loving her front row seat between mom and dad (who wouldn't, right?). The soon-to-be big sister had the best reaction when her mom won the award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Queen B also showed off her recently-announced pregnancy body during a moving performance and reacted gracefully to Adele's insistence that Beyonce deserved Album of the Year for "Lemonade."

Adele keeps us all on the edge of our seats

Speaking of Adele, the British singer swept the major awards, winning Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, as well as two pop music awards. She also opened the show with "Hello" and gave a moving tribute to the late George Michael. But her impressive night also had its share of drama.

After starting her tribute to George Michael off pitch, the singer stopped and started the song over, a move that rarely happens on the Grammy stage. She ended the night by winning Album of the Year and dedicating the award to Beyonce, calling her "our light" and insisting that "Lemonade" was the most important album of the year. She even broke the trophy in half, Mean Girls style.

Chance the Rapper makes a splash

Chicago MC Chance the Rapper has been a favorite of many for a few years, but he finally got mainstream recognition at this year's Grammys. The rapper has always had an independent streak because unlike most singers, he isn't on a major music label and his music is available for free.

He took away awards for both Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance, as well as the coveted Best New Artist. And he showed the audience what the hype is all about with an emotional performance, proving that his talent and unique voice are here to stay.

Bruno Mars channels Prince

"Uptown Funk" singer Bruno Mars paid homage to Prince with a purple suit and the iconic eyeliner. Mars impressed with not only his vocals, but also a killer guitar solo as part of his cover of "Let's Go Crazy."

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
