Though Rihanna couldn't turn up, Adele was plagued by technical difficulties during her performance and chaos ensued, the Grammy Awards 2016 managed to take place and hand out all of its accolades without too much hassle, with Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift some of the biggest winners on the night.

Swift took Album of the Year along with Best Pop Vocal Album, whilst Kendrick Lamar jointly took Best Music Video with the singer for 'Bad Blood', also taking home the gong for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
