Come tutti voi già probabilmente sapete, questa notte andranno in onda i Grammy Awards, premio musicale più importante che sia mai esistito. Nato nel 1959, il premio è considerato tuttora una delle pochissime manifestazioni musicali rimaste quasi del tutto serie, e per questa ragione si tratta di un evento seguito tuttora da gran parte dei fruitori di musica, interessati tanto alle esibizioni quanto ai vincitori.
Di seguito eccovi tutti i vincitori e le performance. Vi ricordiamo che l’esibizione di Rihanna e quella di Nicki Minaj sono state cancellate poche ore prima della diretta.
