Tay SLAMS Kanye at the Grammys while Adele’s performance flops
From audio fails and slaying speeches to last minute cancellations, the Grammy Awards certainly did not fail to deliver in the entertainment stakes last night.
Topping headlines this morning was Taylor Swift who not only made history by being the first woman to win Album of the Year twice at the prestigious awards ceremony but also for taking the time to slam Kanye in her acceptance speech.
Last week Kanye debuted a song at his fashion showcase in New York which included the lyrics: "I made that bitch famous" in reference to Tay.
Taking to the stage with a new cropped hairstyle, Taylor, who had remained quiet on social media since the incident, was quick to defend herself.
"I want to say to all the young women out there – there are going to be people along the way who are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame."
Yas, queen!
Another young female singer who was expected to steal the show was Adele, but after suffering from audio and pitch problems during her performance of All I Ask, fans were left wanting.
Adele took to Twitter to explain the issues: "The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. Shit happens."
While Rihanna had to cancel a performance of her new material due to an infection, Lady Gaga took to the stage channelling the late David Bowie as she donned a sparkly catsuit and bright orange hair.
Adopting Bowie's infamous Ziggy Stardust persona, the You and I singer bashed out a medley of the late singer's greatest hits including Heroes, Space Oddity and Let's Dance.
However, the performance is garnering a certain amount of criticism with fans saying she was trying "too hard" while David Bowie's own son Duncan Jones seemed to tweet a comment that was thinly veiled with sarcasm.
"overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?

In the awards stakes, Ed Sheeran has something to cheer about as he won his first Grammy for the song Thinking Out Loud.
Justin Bieber also took home his first award while Kendrick Lamar swept away the competition taking home a total of five awards on the big night. Marc Ronsen and Bruno Mars also had a rather successful evening as Uptown Funk swept up two gongs including Record of the Year.
