Grammys 2020: Best And Worst Moments

The 62nd annual Grammy Awards have come and gone — but if you missed any of this year's broadcast, TVLine has you covered! Scroll down to see our picks for the ceremony's best, worst and weirdest moments, from Lizzo's opening performance to Aerosmith's impromptu backup dancers.

WORST: WALK THIS WAY

Steven Tyler pulled two audience members onstage during Aerosmith and Run-DMC's performance ... and almost immediately deposited them back in the crowd. Was it because the grapevine-challenged women had a hard time walking that way?

BEST: FAMILY MATTERS

Camila Cabello serenaded her dad, Billie Eilish performed with her brother, Tyler, the Creator brought his weeping mama on stage for his acceptance speech — and we emptied a box of Kleenex before the night was through.

BEST: DEMI MAKES A COMEBACK

We would applaud Demi Lovato just for making it through her emotional performance of "Anyone," a ballad she wrote and recorded just days before being hospitalized for a drug overdose. But she didn't just make it through the highly personal song; she belted it flawlessly, even as she fought back tears, and turned in what was easily the night's most breathtaking performance.

BEST: THE JONAS SISTERS

Topic for debate: Was it more fun to watch the Jonas Brothers perform "What a Man Gotta Do," or to see their wives — Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner, Quantico's Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Married to Jonas' Danielle Jonas — having the absolute best time in the crowd? Discuss.

BEST: THE GRAMMYS HONOR KOBE

Grammys host Alicia Keys was in an unenviable position on Sunday night, as she was tasked with leading a last-minute tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday. But Keys' a cappella collaboration with Boyz II Men on "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" was lovely and understated, and her recurring message of love throughout the broadcast helped everyone keep in mind what's really important, even at a glitzy awards show.

BEST: TWO THUMBS WAY UP

You probably know Lewis Capaldi best by his emotional breakup song "Someone You Loved," which has been in heavy rotation on Top 40 radio for months. But judging by this adorable thumbs-up he flashed at the camera when Alicia Keys asked if she could borrow his melody for a parody song, he's not angsty all the time!

BEST: LIZZO'S LADIES

There was a lot to love about Lizzo's show-opening performance. The ballerinas! The wardrobe change! The flute solo! But our favorite moment may have been the very end of "Truth Hurts," when Lizzo's exuberant dancers basked in the crowd's applause, and Lizzo herself grabbed one of the women in a tight embrace. (We don't have a good joke about taking a DNA test, though, so we'll just end this caption here.)

WORST: READING THE FINE PRINCE

On the whole, Usher's tribute to Prince was an entertaining medley, complete with slick dance moves, snazzy clothing and a seriously stellar falsetto on "Kiss." But Usher didn't make a whole lot of eye contact with the Staples Center crowd, and it often seemed like he was reading the lyrics from a teleprompter below him. Whatever the reason, it distracted us from an otherwise excellent performance — from Usher, FKA twigs and their impressively bendy dancers.

WORST: TYLER THE MIGRAINE CREATOR

The Grammys wouldn't be the Grammys if they weren't a little weird. But when Tyler, the Creator simulated an actual earthquake during his performance of "Earfquake" — shaky camerawork and all! — we just couldn't get on board. Seriously, it made Cloverfield look downright soothing in comparison.

BEST: GETTING UPSTAGED

Is it too lame to say that Alicia Keys literally soared to new heights as a Grammys performer? Yes? Well, in that case, we'll just say that this double-decker stage situation was very cool.

BEST: BILLIE GIVES THANKS

It was quite a night for Billie Eilish, who took home multiple Grammys — and she had a delightfully candid acceptance speech for each award. "I think Ariana [Grande] deserves this!" the 18-year-old admitted after winning Album of the Year; moments later, after "Bad Guy" snagged Record of the Year, she and brother Finneas popped back on stage to simply shout, "Thank you!" before departing once again. (And as the people watching this show for three-and-a-half hours, we sincerely appreciate her brevity.)
