Madonna [1] captivated stars in the audience — especially Taylor Swift [2]! — while performing at the Grammy Awards in LA last Sunday. Mere days after releasing the viral music video [3] for her latest single "Living For Love," the icon gave her song the live treatment with an elaborate show [4] that put her on-point physique in the spotlight. Although the costumes, set, and choreography were clearly inspired by her video, we can't help but also get flashbacks to memorable pop culture phenomena. (American Horror Story [5]: Coven, anyone?) Read on to see all the things Madonna's performance will remind you of, and then check out how she shocked everyone with her butt [6] before the show even started.
