The 2015 Grammys telecast ran for roughly 3 hours and 45 minutes Sunday night, which is no surprise, considering the show's expansive roster of performers.
While a few performances flew under the radar, most musicians brought their A-game with several notable and powerful ballad performances, including Katy Perry, Beyoncé, John Legend and Ariana Grande. The Grammys is also known for unexpected musicians pairings, and this year was no exception; icons like Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox and Tony Bennett took the stage alongside today's hottest stars, including Kanye West, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
And then there was Madonna, who deserves a category of her own.
You can watch all the performances below (or take a look at our highlights reel). Oh yeah, and we hear they handed out awards or something, too.
