Biebs, TayTay, Sheeran: Here’s The Lowdown On The 2016 Grammy Winners

Hoooo boy, the Grammy Awards went full bore this year. If you dispute the fact, go ahead and ask yourself what other show can pull off a stirring Bowie tribute, inspire a chock-a-block celebrity singalong, or tastefully pull off gags for the differently-abled. Does any other awards show in recent memory boast a spread as varied as that? Nah, didn’t think so.

Seeing as it is actually an awards ceremony though, it might be worthwhile to give you a rundown of the winners from today’s broadcast. Without further ado, behold:
