The Grammy Awards took place in LA last night! The action started right away on the star-studded Grammys red carpet, where outlandish fashions were donned by some of music's biggest names like Fergie, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna. The fun continued during the show, thanks to host LL Cool J. In addition to paying homage to the late Whitney Houston, there were lighter moments thanks to performances from Rihanna and Coldplay, Katy Perry, Paul McCartney, and even the Beach Boys. The night, though, belonged to Adele with six wins for her song "Someone Like You" and her album 21. The Foo Fighters were a close second with five new statues.

Watch the Music Video For Taylor Swift's Hunger Games Song "Safe & Sound"

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:35:21 PST

Today is full of treats from The Hunger Games! First, we got to see the full tracklist for the soundtrack, and now we have the music video for one of the singles from the movie, "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift. Though there is no footage from the film, the video seems like it nails the tone of the books. Swift is dressed simply amid a woodsy, very District 12-like backdrop, and in the most direct reference to the movie, she grasps a mockingjay pin. The song, which also features recent Grammy winners The Civil Wars (who you can learn more about here), has won me over with how haunting and pretty it is, and Swift's vocals of "just close your eyes; you'll be all right," feel appropriate to the subject matter of The Hunger Games. Watch now.

Get Taylor Swift's Absurdly Pretty Lip Color

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:17:04 PST

Post-Grammys, there's been a lot of talk about how amazing Taylor Swift looked. And we have to agree: her makeup and hair were pitch perfect. We were especially taken with her lip color. It looked like she wasn't wearing anything at all, even though the shade was just a little more intense than bare lips could be. "Taylor wanted her lips to be very natural," explains Ms. Swift's makeup artist, Lorrie Turk. The trick to faux bare lips, according to Turk, is actually very simple. "I applied Cover Girl LipPerfection lip color in Enthrall to her lips with my fingertip to push the color in," Turk says. The result was a pretty, barely there stain that would make a great date-night lip look.

Adele's Sweep, a Prayer For Whitney Houston, and More 2012 Grammys Highlights

The 2012 Grammy Awards were all about Adele's major wins and the sad passing of Whitney Houston. After a kickoff from Bruce Springsteen, host LL Cool J led a prayer for Whitney and gave a look back at some of her stellar Grammys performances. Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt honored another late musical star, Etta James, with a song. Bonnie and Alicia also presented best pop solo performance to Adele for "Someone Like You." Adele, who suffered from vocal problems for the last year, appropriately thanked her doctors. Further accolades went to Jay-Z and Kanye West, both absent, for best rap song with "Otis," and Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters picked up best rock performance for "Walk." Bon Iver took home best new artist.

Rihanna and Coldplay teamed up for one of the evening's most memorable duets. Her "We Found Love" segued into Coldplay's "Princess of China" and "Paradise." Another highlight was the long-awaited reunion of the Beach Boys, and they brought back their hit "Good Vibrations" with some help from Adam Levine. Taylor Swift won two honors before the proceedings even began, and later went folksy with her stint behind the mic. Katy Perry, taking a different approach, donned a skintight bodysuit for "Part of Me." Katy changed the words to the track, apparently making a dig at her ex Russell Brand.

Adele was back onstage later in the night with her adorable producer, Paul Epworth, to accept song of the year for "Someone Like You." She made her triumphant return to the microphone with her hit, after a glowing introduction from Gwyneth Paltrow, and received a standing ovation from her big fans like Paul McCartney and Rihanna. The track was also crowned record of the year and her 21 was album of the year! A teary Adele raised her new gold, joked about having a snotty nose, and said to her mother, "Mom, girl did good!"

Jennifer Hudson helped wrap things up with a touching Whitney Houston tribute, belting out "I Will Always Love You." The show was officially closed by Paul McCartney with help from his "friends" like Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, and Bruce Springsteen.
