On a night that saw producer and musician Beck and singer Sam Smith sweep the awards, the Grammys provided plenty of touchscreen-tapping fodder for all the famouses. There was Madonna’s matador-inspired outfit and performance, Kanye West almost pulling another Taylor Swift-style “I’mma let you finish” when Beck picked up his album of the year award, and an AC/DC opening set featuring audience members wearing light-up devil horns. That’s entertainment, apparently – and this what some celebrities made of it all.
Beck’s album of the year win divided opinion
BECK! I'm so happy this album is AMAZING!!!! ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

Kim Kardashian seemed to agree with husband Kanye West’s post-award rant, that Beyoncé deserved the award over Beck. Not so for Gaga. In non-attendee news, rapper Azealia Banks highlighted Lana Del Rey’s nomination snubs for 2014’s Ultraviolence:
Imma let u finish Beck.... BUT, Ultraviolence was the best rock album of the year

Sam Smith was very excited about his four gongs
Sibling pop-house duo Disclosure and electronic music producer Tourist (part of Smith’s winning team for Stay With Me as song of the year) rebranded the whole night The Sammys, in Smith’s honour.

Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift were left starstruck by Madonna
Is Grande okay? She looks like she might be about to vomit. There was a calmer, almost dazed take from Swift, later retweeted by Madonna:
Madonna is now a person I've met. #TheGrammys
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) February 9, 2015
Meanwhile, Madonna was star-struck by her own breasts
Holding on to MY Grammy's! ❤️ #livingforlove #bitchimmadonna pic.twitter.com/eJ5esIL6XY

Ryan Adams lifted the veil on AC/DC’s devil horn intro set
And, of course, there was the post-show gratitude

See? They’re real people just like the rest of us, taking to social media to let their friends know all the ordinary things they’ve been doing on a Sunday night. Comforting, that.
