From Kendrick Lamar’s fiery performance to Lady Gaga’s bombastic Bowie tribute, the Twitter-verse was in a frenzy during the 58th annual Grammy Awards. Adele, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Lamar and Justin Bieber were the most-tweeted-about artists of the evening and appeared in many choice social media moments during Monday night’s broadcast.
Grammys 2016: 34 Things You Didn’t See on TV
Ed Sheeran nabbed the awards for best pop solo performance and song of the year, the latter of which also made for the most-tweeted moment of the entire night. Fellow music maker and “All About It” collaborator Hoodie Allen gave his mate a shout-out.
Everything is right in the world. Congrats to my friend @edsheeran you deserved it mate!

Though Kendrick Lamar didn’t snag album of the year, to the devastation of dedicated To Pimp A Butterfly fans, his performance of “The Blacker the Berry” and “Alright” won the night.
I could literally feel the heat from the flames in that @kendricklamar performance. So fucking grateful I got to see that.
