Good morning. The Grammys were held yesterday in LA, only weeks after the wildfires caused devastation.
It was Beyoncé who made headlines, winning Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, capturing an elusive first win. Chappell Roan won the Grammy for Best New Artist, while Kendrick Lamar won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
However, it was Australian model and Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, who turned the most heads. On the red carpet, Bianca took off her coat to pose almost completely nude before leaving the event. Some reports have said the pair weren't even invited which makes us even more confused.
All the headlines and more below...
