#1 Kendrick Lamar Seems To Say "Drake, What's Up?"
Kendrick Lamar’s sweep at the Grammys may seem like the final nail in the coffin in his long-standing feud with Drake.
It was certainly awkward for Drake fans as the Compton rapper picked up the golden gramophones wearing denim-on-denim, a look that is seen as the Canadian tuxedo.
But contrary to what some viewers thought, Lamar did not say “Drake what's up?” onstage during his acceptance speech for his Record of the Year win.
“Dre, what's up?” is what he said, with his greeting directed at Dr. Dre.

#2 Chappell Roan Calls Out Music Labels
Chappell Roan used her big moment on the Grammy Awards stage to say she has been “betrayed by the system.”
“I told myself that if I ever won a Grammy and got to stand up here before the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and health care, especially developing artists.”
The "Good Luck, Babe" singer spoke about being signed as a minor, only to be dropped and left struggling during the pandemic without any job experience or the means to afford insurance.
Calling the experience “devastating,” she said she felt “betrayed” by the system and felt like she gave her all to her label but didn’t get the same treatment in return.
“Labels, we got you, but do you got us?” she asked before exiting the stage.

#3 Taylor Swift And Cynthia Erivo Doing The ''holding Space" Meme
Taylor Swift made space (literally) for actress Cynthia Erivo during the 2025 Grammy Awards.
In one viral clip online, Erivo was captured walking through the venue unable to find her seat as host Trevor Noah began his monologue. The Lover singer, with zero hesitation, called Erivo to her seat so they could share the chair.
Another clip captured the hitmaker grabbing Erivo’s finger, which seemed to netizens like she was recreating the viral “holding space” moment the Wicked actress shared with her costar Ariana Grande.
The “holding space” meme refers to the viral interview in which Grande solemnly held Erivo’s finger while the latter was having an emotional moment mid-conversation.

#5 Bianca Censori Bares It All On Grammys Red Carpet
Bianca Censori’s outfit paved the way for one of the most “uhh… what’s happening?” moments at the awards show this year. The only thing about her outfit was that there pretty much was no outfit.
The 30-year-old model ditched her undergarments altogether while revealing a completely see-through dress beside her husband and rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West
After their “attempt to replicate the album cover” of Ye’s 2024 Vultures 1 album that featured Censori, the couple were immediately ushered out by cops, a source claimed to Page Six.
Another source claimed to the outlet that they left of their own free will. “He walked the red carpet and then got in his car and left,” the source claimed.

#6 Jaden Smith Wears Castle On Head
Onlookers may have had to stifle their laughter when Jaden Smith made his entry into the 2025 Grammy Awards show.
The 26-year-old appeared to be the literal representation of “living in his own head” as he walked around the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles with a giant castle on his head. Unsurprisingly, Will Smith's son went on to be brutally roasted online.
“Looks like a Halloween outfit for a 5 year old,” one said about it, while another said, “Whoever told him this was a good idea doesn’t like him.”
“Feel bad for whoever is seated behind him,” another joked.
“Knowing Jaden Smith somebody prolly told him he’s living in his own head so he said bet,” read another comment.
The Karate Kid star’s black suit carried a Louis Vuitton label while the “Vampire Castle” headpiece was a creation by ABODI.
“Jaden Smith wore ABODI's iconic ‘Vampire Castle’ sculptural headpiece. We custom made the castle for his red carpet appearance at the Grammy Awards,” ABODI wrote on Instagram.
“The artistic combines the mysterious elegance of ABODI Transylvania with a bold, modern design inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire legends of the Bathori.”

#10 The Weeknd's Surprise Performance After Grammys Boycott
It would seem The Weeknd no longer has beef with the Grammys.
Four years back, the artist said he was boycotting the awards show after his After Hours album received zero nominations in 2021. He said at the time that he would “no longer allow” his label to submit his music to the Grammys “because of the secret committees.”
His strong words and four years of absence during the last four Grammys made his appearance on stage this year an absolute surprise to fans.
During the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, Grammys chief Harvey Mason Jr. said they “listened” to the “Blinding Lights” singer before welcoming him on.
“I heard [the Weeknd] and I felt his conviction,” Mason Jr. continued. “What we all want is an organization dedicated to the well-being of all music makers, and one that reflects the entire music community, for now, and for future generations. So over the past few years, we’ve listened. We’ve acted. And, we’ve changed.”
After Mason Jr.’s introduction, The Weeknd gave a surprise performance of his two songs, "Timeless" and "Cry for Me," from his recent sixth studio album Hurry Up Tomorrow.

“Trevor Noah already with an illegal immigrants joke and a Colombia joke in his opening monologue... This is going to be a LONGGGG night,” said one exasperated viewer.
