The 2014 Grammy Awards were presented Sunday, January 26 Grammy Awards Ceremony 2014 night live on CBS.

This year’s Grammy Awards were hosted by LL Cool J, who’s helmed the show over the past few years.

The Grammy Awards evening started off with a “surprise”: Beyoncé and Jay Z performed “Drunk In Love” from her new, self-titled album. It is the first time she’s performed a song from the album live on television. Yet  her appearance was technically a surprise, a commercial accidentally spilled the news last week.

KatyPerry with her “Dark Horse”performance  It was surprising that the Grammys put the most popular artists within the first half hour) with her surprise hit “Dark Horse” featuring Juicy J. KatyPerry  used a broom as a stripper pole and was surrounded by dancers, fire, and mystical objects.
