Hello all! Welcome to our now annual rundown of all the crazy shit that happens at the Grammys, Music’s Biggest Night™. Looking back at last year's output, I only remember a third of what the hell happened, but what is music's purpose if not for creating pointless ephemera to laugh at and then forget soon after? (There's no other reason we all listen, right?)
All night long, we'll be collecting the funniest, weirdest, best, worst, and most memorable moments from the 2016 Grammys to live on in perpetuity. This includes GIFs, Vines, tweets, Instagrams, videos of all the performances, and whatever else strikes our fancy. In the infamous words of Kanye West: "This is a god meme." Follow along below, and hang out with us in our comment party, where we'll play drinking games or whatever, and take a look at who won what, as if that even matters. The "fun" starts now...

For the record, only 8 actual awards will be handed out on the Grammy telecast tonight. I believe that's a historic low.
