Was anybody surprised that Sam Smith took home the GRAMMY for Best New Artist? -
-
The timing of this tender performance couldn’t be better, with Valentine’s Day less than a week off. Speaking of valentines: Cat Valentine has come a long way. -
… and the pedigree behind this pretty ballad! It was written by One Direction’s Harry Styles (swoon).
-
-
First-time nominee Ariana is up for two GRAMMYs: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop/Duo Group Performance for her megahit "Bang Bang,” with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj.
-
Here she is, the grand Ms. Grande, in her slender, elegant glory. This is Ariana’s “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart,” off her 2014 smash “My Everything.”
-
Rihanna was getting her hair styled when she found out about her GRAMMY win tonight. -
This is Ariana Grande's first time performing on the GRAMMY stage. She got her feet wet in December when she performed at the "A Very GRAMMY Christmas" special. Grande received her first two GRAMMY nominations this year, one of which is for Best Pop Vocal Album, which will be announced soon.

And let’s not let the opening storm that was AC/DC slip our memories. What’s your favorite AC/DC tune? Pretty hard to argue with “Back in Black” ...
-
Hell’s bells! They’ve segued into the classic “Highway To Hell.” The thunder from Down Under are ripping it up.
-
Last year was kind of rough for AC/DC, despite the release of their 15th studio album: Not sure if you’ll remember, but drummer Phil Rudd ran into some weird and kind of disturbing legal trouble, and founding member Malcolm Young left the band.
-
Cool shorts! Angus Young’s trademark school-uniform outfit made some fashion waves in the 70s. Or, at the very least, made him a guy who stood out, sartorially speaking. Was he a walking contradiction? The shorts made him look so innocent …
Who remembers? -
AC/DC kicking off the GRAMMYs in style!

@showbizshelly has on her devil horns.ACDC is opening the show! #grammys We've all been given devil horns to wear during their second number. http://t.co/DhlvFrcIft

This is their new song, “Rock or Bust,” off the same-named album released in November. I don’t foresee any busting, because they’re doing A LOT of rocking, am I right?
-
-
GRAMMY Fact: This is AC/DC's first time performing on the GRAMMY stage! But the rock veterans are no strangers to the GRAMMYs; they previously won Best Hard Rock Performance for 2009 for "War Machine."

Jamie Wayt and Andreas Hale, GRAMMY "mosh pit" correspondents
-
-
Just a minute to go, everybody, and if you’ve been following the buzz you know you’re in for a heap of A-list performances. The show always starts with a bang, and I have a premonition that this year’s is going to be especially loud.
-

Rita will chime in throughout the telecast with her comments and thoughts on the 57th GRAMMY Awards. We also have Jamie and Andreas in the "mosh pit," ready to bring you exclusive updates.
