Even your eagle eye didn't catch these interactions, reactions and extra-celebratory moments during the 2025 Grammys Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena. And that's where we come in.
Grammys 2025: Did Kanye West, Bianca Censori Get Kicked Out of the Ceremony? Here’s The Truth
Ah, the Grammys, the show where your favorite artists are literally dancing in the aisles.
And speaking of Taylor Swift... she avoided a run-in with Kanye West at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena because he left after making quite the NSFW red carpet appearance with wife Bianca Censori. So you didn't miss anything there.
The theme of the Feb. 2 ceremony was community, the one that makes music and the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles, where the Palisades and Eaton fires destroyed thousands of homes in January, prompting the Recording Academy to rework music's biggest night into both a celebration and a fundraising endeavor.
Trevor Noah, hosting the Grammys for the fifth year in a row, announced toward the end of the evening that the telecast had raised $7 million for relief efforts. (See the winners list from the 2025 Grammys.)
Meanwhile, he opened the night with a heartfelt tribute to the many members of the music world affected. That included Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith and his brother/drummer Griffin Goldsmith, who kicked off the night's myriad performances with a cover of Randy Newman's iconic "I Love L.A." with accompaniment from Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, John Legend, Sheryl Crow and St. Vincent.
Throughout the show, songs were belted out, awards were accepted (including Album of the Year by Beyoncé, at last), tears were shed and history was made. Performers included Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, Benson Boone, Lainey Wilson and Shakira.
But even if you watched every minute of the nearly four hours of music and speeches, there were some special moments you missed.
And that's where we come in. Here is what you didn't see on TV:
