The 57th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony is over, but the night will be immortalized by the results and by visual evidence of the proceedings.
Results of the evening’s four biggest awards skew in favor of Sam Smith. The English singer-songwriter won trophies for Best New Artist, Song of the Year (for “Stay with Me”) and Record of the Year (for “Stay with Me”). Beck, meanwhile, upset presumed favorites Smith and Beyonce in claiming the Best New Album trophy for his “Morning Phase.”
Visual evidence, meanwhile, will be found in photos capturing the night’s arrivals, performances and awards presentations. Names like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Katharine McPhee, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Kim Kardashian, Madonna, Usher, Sam Smith and more all made waves at the event — and all found themselves included in CBS’ official photo stream.
