As per every season, the red carpet rundown didn’t disappoint with the annual bash always encouraging artists to push beyond their sartorial comfort zone.
Ariana Grande undoubtedly stole the spotlight with her 20-foot couture gown in need of its very own seat while Billy Porter’s fringed hat sparked some of the greatest memes this year has seen yet.

The conversation didn’t end once the ceremony began either with Demi Lovato’s moving performance drawing applause on social media.
From Camila Cabello’s touching tribute to her father to Nick Jonas’ unfortunate mishap, catch up on the moments you may have missed from the 2020 Grammy Awards below.
Ariana Grande’s Giambattista Valli dress
Ariana Grande was one of the first guests to grace (read: shut down) the red carpet and the songstress made sure nobody missed her big entrance.
Decked in froth-after-froth of Giambattista Valli tulle, the 26-year-old posed for a series of dramatic photographs before almost taking up an entire row of seats in the arena.
Of course, Grande’s name was trending within minutes of her arrival with social media users divided by her latest look. For some, it was “performance art” while others dubbed the frock a matter of “inconvenience for everyone around her”.
Billy Porter’s remote-controlled hat
Billy Porter’s unwavering red carpet prowess is showing no signs of slowing down with his latest ensemble capturing the imagination of Twitter’s greatest meme-makers.
For the Pose star’s latest outing, Porter stepped out in a conversation-starting Scott Studenberg jumpsuit complete with a matching jacket.
But it was a remote-controlled hat by Sarah Sokol which really stole the headlines courtesy of its ability to close the fringe curtain – just in case anyone “gets on my nerves”, Porter quipped.
Further proving our social media reflexes are growing niftier by the day, the ensemble was trending on Twitter faster than you could say Pray Tell.
Tyler, The Creator’s Grand Budapest Hotel cameo
Tyler, The Creator was another red carpet talking point as he looked ready to check guests in courtesy of a millennial pink ensemble that wouldn’t look out of place in a Wes Anderson flick.
When Nick Jonas went on stage with food in his teeth
The Jonas Brothers took to the stage on the big night to perform a medley of hit songs but not all of us were listening, as some eagle-eyed viewers spotted some salad unfortunately stuck in Nick’s tooth.
Some Twitter users joked that his brothers “did him dirty” and didn’t tell him as revenge for breaking up the band back in 2013.
In response to the commotion, Jonas tweeted: “At least you all know I eat my greens”.
Demi Lovato’s moving performance
One of the most powerful moments from the evening was undoubtedly Demi Lovato’s long-awaited return to music after a near-fatal overdose in 2018.
Performing ‘Anyone’ was emotional for the star who had to restart the performance after becoming too choked up to continue.
The moving ballad was met with a standing ovation while social media users flocked to congratulate the singer.
Camila Cabello’s touching tribute to her father
Before you have chance to wipe your tears after watching Lovato performance reruns, Camila Cabello’s touching tribute to her father is sure to see you reaching for the tissues once more.
With a montage of childhood home videos playing in the background, Cabello sung ‘First Man’, a song she wrote for her dad, while he could be seen crying on the front row.
