In a show plagued with cancellations and technical difficulties, it could be argued Lady Gaga stole the night with her six and a half minute tribute performance for David Bowie, who passed away earlier this year following a battle with cancer.
Taking to the stage in a performance collaboration with Intel, Gaga included some of Bowie's most recognisable hits, ploughing through 'Space oddity', 'Changes', 'Ziggy Stardust', 'Suffragette City', 'RebelRebel', 'Fashion', 'Fame', 'Let's Dance' and 'Heroes' whilst Intel's technology allowed the singer to channel her emotions through the effects that joined her on stage.
Speaking to Mashable before she took to the stage, Gaga explained: "The first thing that I did was just put together my own mixtape of my favourite David Bowie songs. It was a DJ set, really.
"I also wanted it to show the growth and the evolution of his music, and I also just wanted people to have a really good time."
She continued: "In this performance, it is important for me to continue to build upon something that he was truly the first person to do. The first person to bridge music, fashion, and technology. These things were at a cultural crossing in Bowie."

During the performance, Gaga was joined by one of Bowie's producers, Chic's Nile Rodgers on stage after he worked on the tribute with her.
Receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, Gaga embraced Nile.
Gaga was also nominated for a Grammy on the night alongside Diane Warren for 'Til It Happens To You' in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category, but lost out to Common and John Legend who took home the accolade for their track, 'Glory'.
