For music lovers, the annual Grammy Awards is a must-watch. Not only is the Grammys a who's who of musicians and industry pros, but it also serves up cultural moments year after year. The artists performing really lean into their superstar personas; the grandiosity of the venue means that viewers get some spectacular set pieces; and Grammys fashion often makes history in its own right.
Over the years, the Grammys has been the site of history-making performances, like Prince debuting a foot-tapping musical montage and Tina Turner and Beyoncé singing and dancing to "Proud Mary" together. Iconic Grammys moments can be as unexpected as they are delightful, from Annie Lennox performing in drag to attendees being married by Queen Latifah. The capacity for shock and awe is extremely high, in other words, and each of these moments left us appropriately speechless.
