Uptown Funk Is Best Song of the Year

The 58th Annual Grammy Awards were held Monday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles hosted by LL Cool J. Record of the Year went to Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, Meghan Trainor won new Artist of the Year and Album of the Year went to Taylor Swift for 1989.

“Thank you to the Grammys. I love you so much,” said a teary-eyed Trainor, who also thanked her parents and Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid.

Kendrick Lamar took home five Grammys including one for Best Rap Album of the Year for To Pimp a Butterfly.

Ed Sheeran walked away with his first-ever Grammy, winning song of the year for Thinking Out Loud. “We wrote it on a couch in my house,” he said of the song, which also won him best pop solo performance. The night also marked first wins for Justin Bieber, the Weeknd, Chris Stapleton, Pitbull and Alabama Shakes.

Swift opened the show by performing Out of the Woods in a sequined jumpsuit, a departure from her red carpet attire, which had featured a tiny coral orange top. By the time she took the stage, she had already won two Grammys during the show’s pre-telecast.

The show featured tributes to three music legends who passed away earlier this year. Lady Gaga performed in David Bowie-inspired makeup and gear as she ran through 10 of the icon’s hits, including Space Oddity, Changes, Fame, Let’s Dance and Heroes. Stevie Wonder joined with Grammy-winning a capella group Pentatonix to perform That’s the Way of the World in honor of Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, while members of the Eagles and Jackson Browne sang Take It Easy for Glenn Frey.

Rihanna was a no show. “After Grammy rehearsal today, Rihanna’s doctor put her on vocal rest for 48 hours because she was at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal chords,” a representative said. “The antibiotics she has been on for three days did not kill the infection adequately therefore she cannot perform safely.”

Below is a list of some of the big winners:
