The Grammys is the biggest celebration of music in the world and just because this year's event can't take place as we know it, doesn't mean it hasn't been an epic affair.
Case in point: The stunning red carpet beauty looks, the fashion ensembles and, of course, the list of Grammys 2021 performers.
One of the standout performances was by Megan Thee Stallion, who wore a diamond corset among a throng of equally sparkling backing dancers, to perform her Grammy Award winning song Savage ft. Beyoncé. While Beyoncé didn't join her on stage, she was cheering on along with husband Jay Z from the front row.

Later on in the set, Cardi B joined Megan Thee Stallion on stage to perform their hit "WAP", marking the first time the single had been performed live by both artists. Cardi wore metallic, futuristic two-piece and wore her blonde hair in a cropped side-swept style for the performance.
Another standout performance was from Taylor Swift, who sang a three song medley from her albums Folklore and Evermore. The star kicked off her set with "Cardigan", which is nominated Song of the Year, first appearing in a royal blue and gold gown, lying on the grassy roof of a cabin in a dreamy woodland setting.
Taylor then climbs down from the roof and heads inside the cabin to perform "August" alongside “Folklore” collaborators Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, while strumming her guitar, before ending the set with "Willow" from her "Evermore" album.

While the awards haven't been able to take place as usual, certain artists have been able to attend in person and perform live. "Artists will be coming together, while still safely apart, to play music for each other as a community and celebrate the music that unites us all," reads the awards' website.
All of the performers were nominated for Grammys, with many having been announced as the winners at the evening ceremony, including Best Song Written For Visual Media, which went to Billie Eilish for “No Time To Die”.
