We’ll be updating this post with all the most memorable moments, as they happen — keep checking back for more!

That Epic, All-Female Opening

After a performance from Camila Cabello, Alicia Keys kicked off the show and brought some of her "sisters" out to the stage. This was one amazing group, made up of Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez.

Gaga took the mic first, saying, ""They said I was weird, that my look, my choices, my sound, that it wouldn’t work. But music told me not to listen to them. Music took my ears, took my hands, my voice and my soul and it led me to all of you and to my Little Monsters, who I love so much."

Lopez was next, saying music "kept me moving from the block to the big stages and even bigger screens" and reminds her "of all the places I can go." After Jada said everyone in music "deserves to be honored and respected," Obama took the mic and received deafening screams from the crowd.

"From the Motown recordsI wore out on the South Side to the ‘Who Run the World?’ song that feuled me through this last decade, music has always helped me tell my story," she said. "Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in. Music shows us that all of it matters, every story within every voice, every note within ever song."

"Tonight we celebrate the greatness in each other," Keys exclaimed, "in all of us, through music! Who runs the world?"

And with that, the show kept rolling!

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Win Big

The awards started rolling out before the live show even began, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper winning big for "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born." The track picked up the trophy for Congrats Best Song Written For Visual Media. They share the award with Mark Ronson, Athony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt.

Here’s how Gaga reacted to the first win of the night:

She also took the stage to pick up the trophy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the song as well at the top of the show, thanking Cooper and saying she’s "so proud to be part of a movie that addresses mental health issues, they’re so important and a lot of artists deal with that and we gotta take care of each other. If you see somebody that’s hurting, don’t look away."

"And if you’re hurting, even though it might be hard, try to find that bravery within yourself to dive deep and tell somebody and take them up in your head with you," she added.

In other actor wins, Hugh Jackman picked up his first Grammy for best compilation soundtrack for visual media for "The Greatest Showman." This brings him one step closer to an EGOT, as he’s already won an Emmy and Tony.

That Amazing Dolly Parton Tribute

Dolly Parton was honored with the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year award at this year’s ceremony, which included one incredible tribute to the artist packed with other A-list stars. And yes, Dolly joined each of them for every song.

It kicked off with Katy Perry and Kacey Musgraves singing "Here You Come Again," before Miley Cyrus came out to join her godmother to perform "Jolene." Maren Morris then joined them to sing "After the Gold Rush," before Little Big Town hit the stage to perform "Little Red Shoes" with the legend.

The tribute ended with the entire group singing "9 to 5." It was just fantastic.

Bebe Rexha’s Red Carpet Moment

GRAMMYs ?

A post shared by Bebe Rexha (@beberexha) on

The "Meant To Be" singer made headlines in January for speaking out against those who allegedly refused to dress her for the Grammy Awards. But tonight, she got the last laugh.

Rexha took to social media to express frustration with the various designers she claims refuse to dress her for music’s biggest night — simply because she "isn’t a runway size." She said her team "hit out a lot of designers, and a lot of them do not want to dress me because I’m too big."

She was later flooded with offers from other designers to dress her for the big night. Rexha ended up going with Monsoori and looked gorgeous in the red creation.
