Sunday’s Grammy Awards broadcast featured numerous big moments — and plenty of big stars.

The celebration did not, however, strictly happen on-stage and in the theater.

Many of the high-profile attendees also had fun in the backstage area.

A new set of photos from CBS reveal some of the backstage fun. Performer and nominee Cardi B, presenter Hailee Steinfeld, presenter Donnie Wahlberg, nominee Jay-Z, winner Dave Chappelle, performer and winner Bruno Mars, performer Sting, performer and winner Kendrick Lamar, performer and winner Alessia Cara and host James Corden are among those featured.

Sunday’s Grammy ceremony, which aired from 7:30PM ET until just after 11PM ET, emanated from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
