Music and entertainment’s elite gather annually to commend and celebrate the previous year’s greatest musical works on the grand stage known as the Grammys. But the show has become much more than just a musical celebration over the years. It’s the antics from the melting pot of artists, side stories, prior beefs, horrible outfits and more that make the night all the more interesting.
Each of those scenarios were in full effect during last night’s telecast, and yes things were as entertaining as they sound. Luckily for us, it’s 2013 and we have the handy-dandy GIF image to encapsulate the moments of both joy and struggle alike at events like this.
You’ve seen the best behind the scenes photos and the best power couples. Now bear witness to the triumph and the defeat from the red carpet to the show through this brief synopsis of the 55th annual Grammy Awards as told by GIF image.

A few stars flourished on the red carpet, but none like Kelly Rowland. All blessings to the Most High and the creator of that dress for the homage to our eyes.
Queen Bey was no slouch herself.
Looks like LL Cool J continues to boycot Burt’s Bees Wax and Carmex after all these years.
“God!” We thought it. Drake said it. You’d think he’d be this excited when he won his Grammy for Take Care.
Yep, Jigga too.
Great performance, but Miguel and Wiz Khalifa set themselves up for numerous backhanded compliments. Credit that to them dressing like Andy Samberg and Lonely Island.
The guys from Fun. paid homage to Jay-Z, who willingly accepted.
So much happening in one GIF. Frank wins big. Chris is salty. Adele observes Chris’s reaction. Classic.
Justin Timberlake and King Hov hit ’em with the hee, as expected.
Not a GIF, but this was so necessary. And that’s word to The-Dream and that CB4 skull cap.
This Girl has been on fire for months, apparently.
Bob Marley lives on through his sons Ziggy and Damian Marley. Bruno Mars and Rihanna joined the ride, and somehow it worked.
The-Dream clearly approved.
With cane in tow, Prince opts for a floating saunter rather than a casual walk.
Frank Ocean got his Royal Tenenbaums on with the suit/headband combo.
LL Cool J closed out the show with a Hip-Hop and EDM mash-up, featuring Chuck D, Z-Trip, Tom Morello and Travis Barker.
We agree with Gawker, this summed up the night.
