The Grammy Awards Red Carpet Shook Up Our Sunday Night
The fact that the Grammy Awards fall right smack in the middle of NYFW is almost hard to grasp. Really, how can we wrap our heads around this much fashion at once? Leave it to stars like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, and host Alicia Keys to personalize their looks so that the red carpet reads totally differently than a runway. There were no trends in sight here, just eccentric outfits with unique details that were not only unforgettable but also one of a kind. Keep reading to see what everyone wore, then vote on best dressed.
This Beautiful Keepsake Helps Mothers Preserve the Memory of Breastfeeding
Motherhood is a unique, often hard-to-explain experience. It's fairly common to see people hold onto the nuanced memories of motherhood through tattoos or monogrammed jewelry, but the latest trend highlights a specific aspect of the journey that can, depending on your personal experience with it, be something you want to truly remember forever.
If you're someone who is breastfeeding or has breastfed their baby, then you know the ups and downs that come along with it. For that reason, people are capturing that memory by purchasing breast milk rings, which are exactly what they sound like - rings containing your actual breast milk in solid form.
Often mistaken for opal jewelry, these keepsakes are a dainty way to preserve the memory forever. Here are a number of styles you can order.
Lady Gaga Put an Unexpected Hard-Rock Spin on "Shallow" at the Grammys, and It Was WILD
Well, it's official: Lady Gaga is having the best month ever, and it's only just begun.
The pop superstar and Oscar nominee had barely made her way down the Grammys red carpet before it was already announced that she won two of the night's big awards: best pop solo performance (for "Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Goin'?)") and best song written for visual media (for "Shallow" in A Star Is Born). While sadly, her handsome costar Bradley Cooper didn't pop up on stage when Gaga picked up the award for best pop duo performance OR when Gaga belted out the song from their award-winning film, there's no question she brought down the house all on her own.
Whether it's on stage or on screen, Gaga never fails to leave audiences stunned with her passion and undeniable talent, and Sunday evening was no different. The eight-time Grammy Award winner didn't hold back while banging her head in the air and giving the typically emotional song a grittier edge. While it was an unexpected move, she sang her heart out (especially when she hit THAT note). Watch the memorable moment ahead, then check out reactions to Lady Gaga's performance and make sure you listen to the latest cover of "Shallow" that has the internet weeping.

Here's Your A to Z List of All the Celebs Who Attended the Grammys This Year
If you didn't get the chance to tune in, the 61st annual Grammy Awards aired Sunday, and what a show it was! The music event hosted all of the top-tier recording artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, and mixers who got a big round of applause (plus an award, if they were lucky) for their hard work this past year. The riveting show had some jaw-dropping moments, from Michelle Obama's surprise appearance to Dolly Parton's showstopping tribute and more! It goes without saying that the 2019 Grammys were hot, emotional, powerful, and definitely entertaining. Now, let's get you caught up! Here's your go-to list of celebs who attended the 2019 Grammys.
Cardi B Dedicates Her First Grammy to Mac Miller Following Ariana Grande's Angry Tweets
Cardi B had one hell of a night at the Grammys, to say the least. In addition to turning heads in a Disney-esque shell-like gown, the 26-year-old rapper took home her first Grammy for best rap album for Invasion of Privacy and made history as the first female solo artist to ever win in that category (Lauryn Hill was the last woman to win with The Fugees in 1996).
The late Mac Miller was also among the nominees for his fifth and final album, Swimming, and Cardi made sure to thank him after the Grammys invited his parents to the show. "I read an article that Mac Miller's family said that if he don't win, they want me to win," Cardi said in an Instagram video. "So I'm sharing this Grammy with you."
Even though Mac did not win, he was honored during the in memoriam segment. Still, this did not go over well with Mac's ex Ariana Grande. Following Cardi's win, Ariana tweeted and quickly deleted "trash," "f*ck," and "literal bullsh*t." Given that she's friends with Nicki Minaj, fans immediately assumed she was throwing shade at Cardi (you know, because she and Nicki have beef), but Ariana later clarified that it had "nothing to do with her." "She's not [trash] at all and that's not what I meant and u know that," she tweeted.
In another now-deleted tweet, Ariana explained that she was "very upset" that Mac lost after the Grammys invited his parents to the show. "This. This is what I meant. Karen was gonna have a green suit made," Ariana wrote in response to a tweet about Mac's mom. All of Ariana's tweets relating to the incident have since been deleted.
Mac passed away last September from an accidental drug overdose. He was 26.
We're Calling It: Michelle Obama's Surprise Appearance Was Our Favorite Grammys Moment
Surprise! Michelle Obama had everyone shook when she showed up to the Grammys on Sunday night. The former first lady popped up on stage in a sparkly suit at the start of the ceremony alongside host Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jennifer Lopez following Camila Cabello's energetic performance. Michelle talked about the importance of music, and to be honest, we almost missed the whole thing because we were too busy gasping for air.
"From the Motown records I wore out on the Southside, to the 'Who Run the World' songs that fueled me through this last decade, music has always helped me tell my story," she said. "Music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes, our joys. Music shows us that all of it matters." Michelle is currently in the midst of her Becoming press tour, but we're so glad she took time out of her busy schedule to bless us with an appearance.
A big part of friendship is showing up for your girls-that's why I was thrilled to be there for the one and only @aliciakeys at the #GRAMMYs. She is one of the most genuine and thoughtful people I know-there's no one better to help us all celebrate the unifying power of music! pic.twitter.com/8cMhTmsClA

Kendall Jenner and Princess Diana Wore Virtually the Same Outfit 30 Years Apart
It takes an effortlessly cool chick to pull off track pants and knee-high cowboy boots. That's why I wasn't at all surprised when I shared Kendall Jenner's look with Fashion Director Hannah McKinley, giddy with excitement about it, and she said, "I feel like it's very Diana." (That's how we refer to Princess Diana around here, FYI.)
"YES!" I thought, wildly fired up as I searched for this iconic image of the late royal from 1989, dropping her sons off at Wetherby School. BTW, what mom pulls this outfit off successfully in the drop-off line outside her vehicle? If I was wearing this combination, I think most people would assume I had just finished shoveling an entire box of dry cereal in my mouth. Also, obviously, there would be crumbs on my white sweats.
And really, leave it to Kendall to re-create Diana's magic (perhaps unknowingly) 30 years later with Adidas slacks and a hunter crewneck, when cowboy boots are as ordinary as sneakers and Princess Diana's '80s influence is palpable on virtually every runway. We aren't even mad at Kendall for forgetting the blazer and baseball cap; we just hope she realizes she was channeling the most stylish British royal in all the land when she stepped into that LA sunlight.
You Can Send Disney Princess Bouquets For Valentine's Day, So Our Fairy Godmother WAS Listening
If you want to give your special someone a Valentine's Day fit for a fairy tale, look no further. Roseshire has a Disney collection of flower bouquets themed around some of their most iconic princesses, and they're almost too beautiful for words.
The bouquet boxes include anywhere from a dozen to four dozen roses, and come in a variety of different colors. And the best part? The boxes feature beautiful art and imagery from those classic Disney movies! Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are all options. Plus, there's one featuring Disney villains - you know, in case you have a dark side-loving partner or maybe even an ex that you're feeling generous toward.
There's a catch, though: Some of the bouquets are sold out online, but keep an eye on the website or call Roseshire to see if more will become available before Valentine's Day. But regardless - who says you can't send Disney flower collections all year round, anyway? After all, everyone could use a little bit of Disney magic.

The Sad Truth - Sometimes Divorce Is the Best Option
There are lots of "D" words in this world that people don't want to say or hear, and divorce is one of them. But sometimes, no matter how you slice it, divorce is the absolute best option.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not an advocate for divorce. I am an advocate for trying your hardest to make your marriage work. But sometimes continually trying to force something together that clearly doesn't belong together ends up doing more harm than good. I know from personal experience.
I never thought I would find myself divorced young. I never thought I would find myself divorced, to be honest. I had been with my husband a total of 14 years, and we had been through so much together. However, we had some fundamental issues that didn't give us the strongest basis for our marriage. In our defense, we were high school sweethearts who stayed together before our identities were fully formed. Before we chose careers. Before we gained our total independence.
I'm on the other side now, and I'm here to tell you something: It's sad. It's hard. But sometimes it's the best option.
We dated, got engaged, moved in, got a dog, got married, and then found ourselves at a crossroads. Little problems had grown into big problems, and the resentment piled on. We were either fighting, not speaking, or being passive-aggressive with each other. We decided to go to therapy. Twice. Then we separated, planned date nights, and spent time together, but the resentment didn't subside. Then we tried one last time to get back together and make it work. Spoiler alert: it didn't.
I cried while we signed our divorce papers. Sobbed. Not because our marriage was over, not because we didn't try, but because the life I thought I was going to have was gone and I didn't know where to start or how to start.
I'm on the other side now and have been for a few years. And I'm here to tell you something: It's sad. It's hard. But sometimes it's the best option.
Here's some real talk. No matter how many people are involved - maybe you have six kids, maybe it's just you and your spouse - you deserve to be happy. Getting divorced is not a selfish act, by any means. Sometimes getting divorced allows you both to become the best versions of yourselves, and you both deserve that. You also both deserve to be fully, completely in love with someone, for better or worse, and to be fully and completely loved back. And sometimes what attracted you to someone changes over time. Maybe these reasons are shallow. Maybe they're deep. Maybe they're serious. Whatever they are, sometimes you need to let go of the baggage to be a better person or a better parent. Your children know you're not happy and may act out. Your parents know you're not happy. Your friends know you're not happy. And if you've exhausted all options, it's time to part ways - hopefully amicably.
I understand that there are lots of consequences with a divorce, too. You may lose friends. You may have to sell the house you made a home. A percentage of your pension - the money you worked so hard for - may be lost to an ex-spouse. These are all hard pills to swallow.
But I will say this: there is absolutely no price tag on happiness. You will make it. You will come out on the other side. And you'll look back and realize that letting go of your marriage was for the best.
The Sexiest Books of All Time Will Have You Blushing With Every Turn of the Page
Sexiness in books is preconceived to be limited to romance novels, but it's more than that. It's a universal concept that takes on many connotations about having power and agency and challenging old norms about sex. Whether it's Lolita and Anna Karenina for class or picking up Zane's book for pleasure (pun intended), these stories center on a woman's narrative or celebrate sexuality in a liberating way that's not exclusive to romance. Books that were considered too scandalous and taboo for society are now being praised for their revolutionary schools of thought, particularly now because we are at a juncture in society where we're having open discourses about sex and pushing marginalized voices to the forefront. The impressive books on this list have been doing that way before it registered in our collective consciousness.
7 Signs You're in Love With a Liar
My ex-fiancé was a Navy Seal who sometimes worked with the CIA. He met his first wife when he rescued her when she was kidnapped in Iran. He had been held hostage in China. He often took off for far-flung locations, on "secret missions" that he would tell me about when there was "a secure line." Whenever I questioned him about anything - which was often - he went on the offense, attacking my integrity and my inability to trust.
"You interrogate!" he'd bark. "You can't have a relationship without trust."
He was right. You can't. And after a year of beating myself up for being suspicious and cynical, I broke up with him. I couldn't live without knowing what was real and what wasn't. Still, for almost a year and a half, I blamed myself for ruining the best thing that had ever happened to me
I got over that when he was convicted of writing fraudulent prescriptions for Vicodin, among other drugs. My name - along with family members, ex-colleagues, and fictitious people - was among the names he falsified.
I can't tell you how elated I felt when he was sentenced to two years in jail. I'd been right all along! He was a liar!
Still, the question on everyone's mind - including my own - was whether there had been signs, and if I'd missed them.
And the answer is yes.
A large part of the reason I wasn't sure what was going on was because he mixed fact with fiction. He'd never been a Navy Seal, didn't work for the CIA, had never been held hostage in China. His ex-wife had never set foot in Iran. (I also didn't know about the wife before her - or that he was engaged to another woman when he was engaged to me.)
On the other hand, he really was a doctor, was in the Navy, did work in the Pentagon, and was opening up a hospital for kids with cancer in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There was also this: we all see what we want to see, and we believe what we want to see - especially in love. (Hence the phrase "blinded by love.")
Most of us don't live our lives anticipating exploitation. Even when there's actual evidence to the contrary, we give the other person the benefit of the doubt. We're wired to believe that people are inherently good, primarily because society couldn't function without that default. If we all operated in isolation, we would achieve very little, as individuals and as a species.
Trust is de rigueur in society. Likewise in intimate relationships. It makes sense: If we don't trust, we might not have sex. If we don't have sex, the species doesn't continue. And then where would we be?
Finally, the sad reality is that our talent for detecting deception with anyone - friend, foe, lover, family member, or stranger - is no better than a roll of the dice. In fact, the closer you are to someone, the more likely you are to believe them, because your blinders are in place and securely fastened. And unlike Pinocchio, there's no quickly growing protuberance to indicate we're lying.
Still, there are some ways to tell if you're being manipulated and lied to, which I learned when I was researching my book Duped: Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married.
1. They're charming.
Dutch researcher Aldert Vrij compiled a list of 18 characteristics common among good liars. Good liars are manipulative, confident, eloquent, quick-witted, able to balance guilt and fear, and - yes - hot. The better looking you are, the more you can get away with.
Yes. We're a shallow bunch.
2. You can't verify anything they say.
You ask to see photos or receipts, you want to meet their friends and family, but something always gets in the way and it never materializes. Although they promise you will, something always gets in the way. You know why? Because they're lying!
3. They go on the offense when you question them.
For years, Lance Armstrong was accused of doping. And any time someone challenged him, there was something wrong with them, not him. Ditto for Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill O'Reilly, and Harvey Weinstein, all of whom, when faced with clear evidence that they were misbehaving, went after their accusers. They tell us the sky is purple and make us think there's something wrong with us for believing it's blue. When we dare to challenge them, we're the ones with the problem.
4. They're really good storytellers.
In an experiment, Stanford communications professor Jeff Hancock and his research team paid people to write fake reviews of a hotel in New York. Some of the reviewers had really stayed there; others had never set foot in the place.
The liars, they found, focused on narrative. "They make up a story: Who? And what happened? And that's what happened here," Hancock said in a 2012 Ted Talk. "Our fake reviewers talked about who they were with and what they were doing. They also used the first-person singular, 'I,' way more than the people that actually stayed there. They were inserting themselves into the hotel review, kind of trying to convince you they were there."
Those who really had been at the hotel were more concerned with "spatial information": the size of the bathroom, or how close the hotel was from a shopping center.
What Hancock deduced is that our language changes based on the type of lie we're emitting and our motivations for telling it. When being questioned in person, for example, liars in Hancock's study tended to use fewer first-person singular words, even though they opted for first-person singular more often in their fake reviews.
"Our argument is that it depends on what the liar is trying to accomplish, motivation, and how that affects them psychologically," Hancock told me. "The fake reviewer is inserting the self into their story to make it sound more credible, while the liars in the interview may be distancing themselves from the event in question. This has different effects on first-person singular."
5. They use phrases like "Not that I can remember" or "To the best of my knowledge."
If someone is "swearing to god" emphatically, parroting your words, or telling you what a good question you're asking, that usually means they're stalling for time to come up with an acceptable response. They could also be trying to throw you off their scent, distract you, or curry favor by padding your ego.
That's because nonanswer statements give someone time to formulate a better answer or to search for wiggle room to squirm their way out of the question. "People don't realize the distinction between 'I wouldn't do something' versus 'I didn't do something,'" said Phil Houston, coauthor of Spy the Lie. "It creates a real epiphany for them."
6. They use qualifying words.
"Basically," "frankly," "honestly," "fundamentally," "usually," and, of course, "believe me" - Donald Trump's favorite - are red flags. So are qualifying statements like "Trust me," "I'm a good person," and "I'm an honest person."
According to Houston, what you really want to look for are clusters of actions. On its own, for example, rubbing your eye means nothing; a speck of dust could have camped there. But combine that with crossing and uncrossing your arms, rolling your eyes to the heavens above, clearing your throat, shielding your mouth or eyes, adjusting your clothes or hair, inspecting your nails, or saying the word "yes" while shaking your head "no," and there's a pretty good chance someone's not telling the truth. But the clusters must occur in the first five seconds of your interaction, when the liar in question hasn't yet had time to prepare false statements.
Now, none of this is easy. That's why liars get one over on so many of us. You have to look and listen at the same time, and most of us have difficulty doing either one of these things well.
Even experts have a hard time. In a meta-analysis of over 200 studies, psychologist Charles F. Bond and lying researcher Bella DePaulo concluded that people could only spot a liar 47 percent of the time. Experienced job interviewers didn't fare any better (52 percent) when trying to distinguish between candidates who lied about their career histories and those who didn't.
Which brings us to number seven.
7. Whenever possible, get hard evidence.
The only reliable way to detect deception is to have tangible proof: Texts. Emails. Phone records. Bank accounts. Video footage. Your own eyeballs.
Let's imagine that the leader of a major first-world power proclaims that more people showed up to his inauguration than to any other inauguration in the history of presidential elections. If there weren't actual statistics proving otherwise, he could go unchallenged. And even so, he still might launch a full-frontal attack. (See number three, above!) But at least you'll have the goods.

Beyoncé's Heels Are in the Shape of Her Initial, So Now She Really Is a Queen
So many of the outfits Beyoncé shares on her feed or wears to events leave us speechless. But the Spring 2019 Balmain Couture look she dazzled in at the Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Awards brunch might just take the cake. Bey's '80s-style brushstroke minidress came with voluminous pleats in pastel shades. She did kind of look like a sweet confection, but in the best possible way.
And leave it to Bey to stack on some jaw-dropping accessories, namely those diamond hoops, cat-eye sunglasses, and, oh, I don't know, maybe those incredible designer sandals with heels that are, in fact, shaped into her own initial? OK, the B does stand for Balmain, but something tells us that when creative director Olivier Rousteing was crafting these puppies, he envisioned exactly what you see here: the most badass babe in music rocking this phenomenon of an ensemble. For that reason, we're considering Beyoncé's pumps customized. Who can beat that?

J Lo Showed Off ALL Her Assets in This Sexy Dress - Seriously, Every. Single. One.
Jennifer Lopez served up a heavy dose of glitz and glamour at this year's Grammys, and TBH, we're still recovering. After walking the red carpet in a blinged-out dress and shiny heels that matched Lady Gaga's, the 49-year-old entertainer took the stage in a bedazzled bodysuit for a Motown tribute performance. But the outfit changes didn't stop there!
After the eventful award show wrapped, J Lo stripped down into a silver sequined gown that showed off all her assets - no really, the dress revealed her sculpted legs and chiseled arms while also dipping generously low on the sides. It looked like it was about to drip right off her body!
The star paired her sultry dress with chunky rings, a silver bracelet, and a pair of sexy chainlink-strap sandals designed by Stella Luna. Her heels unfortunately aren't available for purchase online, so we took it upon ourselves to hunt down a few similar styles, which you can shop below after recovering from the sheer beauty of the #OOTN photo J Lo shared on Instagram.

It's possible J Law will opt for a Dior gown since she has been an ambassador for the French house for years and constantly wears the brand on the red carpet. Another thing we know? She already has a knack for pulling off a white gown, so we're sure she'll look amazing. Read on to see some of our dress predictions.

The Grammys went down in LA on Sunday night, and as you may have expected, it did not disappoint. On "Music's Biggest Night," we were treated to soulful, sultry performances from Kacey Musgraves, Lady Gaga, and Cardi B, who steamed things up on stage with "Money." The night's many winners, including Lady Gaga and H.E.R., poured their hearts out in emotional acceptance speeches, but the night wasn't without its fun, lighthearted moments, like Diana Ross getting the crowd on their feet and host Alicia Keys playing two pianos at once (yes, really). And who didn't freak the hell out when Michelle Obama showed up on stage?! Nobody, that's who.

Alicia Keys Stays Close to Swizz Beatz During Her Big Night Hosting the Grammys
Alicia Keys's night at the 61st annual Grammys kicked off on a major high note. The 38-year-old singer and musician showed up to the red carpet looking fresh-faced and fiery in a bright, low-cut red gown complete with a silver necklace. She was accompanied by her husband of eight years, producer Swizz Beatz. The two posed on the red carpet together and even gave each other a cute smooch as cameras flashed.
Alicia - who has an impressive Grammys track record - took on the task of hosting the show and definitely brought the energy. In the days leading up to the Grammys, she prepared for her big night with talk show host James Corden when they performed a remix to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's nominated song "Shallow." And it seemed to help her get into the zone. She started the show by bringing a majorly powerful female squad on stage: Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and Michelle Obama! Later on, she wowed the crowd with a performance of her own in which she sang and played not one, but two pianos (casual).

Lady Gaga is a Janelle Monáe stan, y'all. The "Shallow" singer didn't just spend the 2019 Grammys raking in her own awards; she also enjoyed the show dancing and jamming like no one was watching. She fully committed to Janelle's energetic Dirty Computer set and was spotted putting 110 percent of her energy into her dance moves in the audience. It's no shocker that Gaga throws her heart and soul into just about anything she does. Just watch her own Grammys performance as proof. Her support for Janelle, however, is an even sweeter addition to an already spectacular night. More of this sisterhood in 2019, please!

Meryl Streep Reveals Her Unique Real-Life Connection to Big Little Lies Season 2
The folks behind Big Little Lies so wanted Meryl Streep in the cast that they literally named the part for her.
"My real name is Mary Louise, so yeah, I had an in," smiled Streep when she and the cast joined series creator David E. Kelley at the show's Television Critics Association press day on Feb. 8 in Pasadena, CA.
In the second season of the series, which premieres in June, Streep plays Mary Louise Wright - aka the mother of Alexander Skarsgard's recently deceased (and fully despicable) Perry Wright and the mother-in-law of Nicole Kidman's Celeste Wright, who is covering up exactly how Perry perished. (Perhaps this is the cause for the seemingly awkward family dinner pictured above?)
Streep said she took on this project because, as a mother of four grown children herself, she was interested "in playing someone who is dealing with whatever the deficits of her parenting were, and the mysteries in that, and how you can't go back in time and fix something." Plus, she said she was hooked on the first season because she thought "it was an amazing exercise in what we know and what we don't know about people - about family, about friends, how it flirted with the mystery of things."
Although Big Little Lies has what Kelley describes as "tonally . . . a mix of comedy and drama," it is still a story that covers issues like spousal abuse and the repercussions it has on the children, classism, adultery, and school bullying. This is not the first time Streep has taken on roles in TV productions with considerable weight. She has Emmy Awards for appearing in the NBC miniseries Holocaust and the HBO adaptation of the AIDS-related play Angels in America, as well as for narrating the Netflix documentary about World War II, Five Came Back.
"You smell that it's necessary," she said regarding when and why she chooses such important works. "You really feel like it owns its place and you want to contribute to it. You feel like you have something to say about it."
PDA Alert! The Sweetest, Sexiest Celebrity Couple Moments From the Grammys

From Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's cuddle session on the red carpet to Cardi B and Offset's steamy kiss, celebrity couples certainly got a head start on their Valentine's Day celebrations at the ceremony. Ahead, see some of the hottest PDA moments of the night!
Cardi B Ran the Grammys Like Cardio, and We Liked It Like That
Cardi B made quite the arrival to the Grammys on Sunday. Not only did she step on the scene in a voluminous, shell-like gown, but she also let everyone know that she and husband Offset really are working things out after initially deciding to divorce back in December. The two posed alongside each other on the red carpet and packed on the PDA as they gave cameras a little tongue action.
But Cardi has even more in store for the show. The 26-year-old rapper received a whopping five nominations: album of the year and best rap album for Invasion of Privacy, record of the year for "I Like It," best pop duo/pop performance for "Girls Like You," and best rap performance for "Be Careful." The last year has been a landmark one for her. She recently graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar and opened up about her sexuality, relationship, and personal life.
Cardi is clearly at the top of her game, and we can't wait to see more from her. See photos of her wonderfully extra Grammys arrival ahead!
Cardi B Finally Met Her Beloved Lady Gaga at the Grammys, and We Want a Collab NOW
It finally happened! After what seems like an eternity of mutually fangirling over each other via the internet, Cardi B and Lady Gaga met in real life at the Grammys, thus answering our prayers in one fell swoop. Both stars had pretty eventful nights at the award show - Gaga nabbed three shiny trophies, and Cardi made history as the first solo female to win best rap album - and they celebrated their victories together. The two artists posed for a handful of adorable pictures together after each delivering performances on stage, and honestly, I'm feeling the need to frame all of them because they're just that cute.
Back in 2016, Cardi B proclaimed her admiration for Gaga on Twitter, writing, "When I was a teenager lady Gaga changed my life. She inspired me to be myself & be different." But the stanning didn't stop there! Two years later, footage of Cardi performing "Bad Romance" in high school began circulating, and when Gaga caught wind of it, she shared a clip on Twitter and wrote, "I LIVE @iamcardib 🙌❤️🔥." She also tweeted lyrics to Cardi's song "Get Up 10," tagging Cardi and adding, "SPEAK WOMAN" with a heart emoji.
Needless to say, their highly anticipated meetup has me craving a collaboration more than I crave brownies when it's that time of the month. Keep reading to see all the cute photos of Cardi and Gaga hanging at the Grammys.
Diana Ross's Breathtaking Performance Proves She Is, and Always Will Be, a Legend
There ain't no mountain high enough that Diana Ross can't climb, and she proved just that with her beautiful Grammys performance on Sunday. The 74-year-old music icon was honored at the ceremony for her "profound impact in the world of music," and she celebrated with a very special "75th Diamond Diana birthday performance." Ross - who turns 75 on March 26 - looked absolutely stunning in a red gown and performed a melody of her songs, including "The Best Years of My Life" and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)." Fun fact: Ross received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys in 2012. Oh, and in case you were wondering, she's still got it!
