If you didn’t watch this year’s Grammys, you missed 3 and a half hours filled with high energy, funny skits and show-stopping performances. But there’s no need to fear—your personal award show reviewer is here! For those of you who didn’t tune in, here are the most iconic moments that you need to know about to understand every post-show conversation, joke and meme.

 

1. Katy Perry sported a… unique outfit on the red carpet.

2. Chance the Rapper was the first black hip-hop artist to win Best New Artist since 1999.

3. 21 Pilots took off their pants before accepting their award to fulfill an old pact.

4. Laverne Cox using her role as an announcer to talk about Gavin Grimm , a transgender teenager who is going to Supreme Court in March.

5. Beyoncé’s performance was literally life-changing.

6. Seriously, did you see the visuals?!

7. Blue Ivy jumped into James Corden’s carpool karaoke skit and saved the entire bit from being a complete wreck.

8. Bruno Mars broke down his song “That’s What I Like” for the ladies.

9. Little Big Town sang “Teenage Dreams” to announce Katy Perry’s performance, and in doing so almost upstaged her.

10. Katy Perry ended her performance standing in front of a backdrop of the Constitution. I wonder if she was trying to make a statement?

11. Beyoncé read her acceptance speech from a gold piece of paper that matched her outfit like the goddess she is.

12. Adele had to start over her George Michael tribute after making a mistake. What the mistake was, I can’t tell you, because she sounded like her regular fabulous self.

13. Production seriously dropped the ball during the Metallica-Lady Gaga performance.

14. Production also cut off Adele’s producer during the acceptance speech for Song of the Year. The audience booed, and let’s be real—they deserved it.

15. A Tribe Called Quest’s entire performance was a tribute to the late member Phife Dawg and a middle finger to our president.

16. Busta Rhymes referred to Trump as “President Agent Orange.”

17. Bruno Mars KILLED his guitar solo during the Prince tribute.

18. Pentatonix reminded everybody why they’re three-time Grammy winners during a quick cover of Jackson 5’s “ABC.”

19. Chance the Rapper’s performance was dedicated to everybody who hasn’t gone to church in a while.

20. When the Grammys SNUBBED Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” in favor of Adele’s “25,” Adele took the time during her acceptance speech to devote the win to Queen Bey herself, even breaking the Grammy in half and giving a piece to her fellow nominee.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
