The 2014 Grammy Awards wrapped on Sunday night and certainly dished out a series of memorable moments.
Madonna wore a grill. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr reunited on stage. Neil Patrick Harris epically photobombed John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigan. And then there was Beyonce and Jay Z's ultra-sexy performance. Not to mention a group of 34 straight and same-sex couples got married live on stage in front of millions of viewers.
Perhaps singer Pharrell and his extra-tall hat (and then his other hat: the wide one) created the biggest buzz throughout the night. Even fast food chain Arby's piped in on Twitter with this comment:
And it wouldn't be an awards show without Taylor Swift dancing in the audience. This time, it was her hair that stole the show.
But overall, music took center stage. Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" took home top honors for Album of the Year, and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis had a big night with several wins. Here's a look at the top winners from the night:
