5 Times Women Rocked the Hell Out of the 2014 Grammy Awards
It was such a great night for women at this year's Grammy Awards. P!nk stole the show until Mary Lambert and Madonna came along to sing "She Keeps Me Warm" as part of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Same Love" on-air marriage ceremony. Below were some of our favorite performances by women although Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Lorde also killed it at the Grammys!
5) Katy Perry Goes Coven for "Dark Horse"
It's not jut the season but the year of the witch, and Katy Perry went all out with a theatrical homage to witches when she performed "Dark Horse" replete with pyrotecnics and a burning at the stake, and it was more interesting than any single moment of American Horror Story: Coven.
4) Kacey Musgraves Makes Country Cool with "Follow Your Arrow"
Relative newcomer Kacey Musgraves won the award for Best Country Album after this fantastic performance of her hit "Follow Your Arrow." It makes us want to go to that land of neon boots and cacti!
3) Carole King and Sara Bareilles Span Generations with "Beautiful/Brave" Mash Up
Legendary singer/songwriter Carole King teamed up with Grammy-nominated Sara Bareilles for a mash-up of King's "Beautiful" and Bareilles' "Brave." It's such a great passing of the torch from one killer vocalist and pianist to another.
2) P!nk Blows the Doors Off the Place Singing Live While Upside/Down!
P!nk steals just about every live show where she performs and the Grammy's was no exception. She did a wildly physical medley of "Try" and "Just Give Me A Reason (with Nate Ruess)" and sounded amazing while suspended over the audience. She's just one of a kind.
1) Mary Lambert and Madonna Sign "She Keeps Me Warm" Hook during "Same Love" Marriages!
The out singer songwriter Mary Lambert has had one hell of a year. She sang "She Keeps Me Warm" -- the hook in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' oustanding gay anthem "Same Love" -- with Jennifer Hudson at the Video Music Awards, and at this Sunday's Grammy's belted it with none other than the legendary Madonna. Meanwhile, Queen Latifah officiated 33 marriages of same and opposite sex couples during a break in the music of It was impossible to not get choked up while watching history in the making.
