Star studded ceremony

The audience was teeming with celebrities – the usual suspects, plus some fresh faces. Taylor Swift stole the show both on and off stage. The singer picked up not one, but two awards – 1989 was hailed album of the year while Bad Blood was named best music video. This might explain why she received over 88k mentions on the night. One of the biggest drivers was her subtle rebuttal to Kanye’s controversial lyrics in his album The Life of Pablo during her acceptance speech. Tay Tay was also responsible for the biggest spike in mentions of the night when she couldn’t contain her excitement over Ed Sheeran’s Song of the Year win.

At least Taylor Swift will probably get an Oscar nom for her excitement right now #GRAMMYs — Danny Murphy (@dannmurphy) February 16, 2016

Kanye was noticeably absent from the festivities, although that didn’t stop him raking up over 15k social mentions.

The best part of the #Grammys was when Kanye West wasn’t there. — Professor Snape (@_Snape_) February 16, 2016

Even though the internet almost melted at the sight of Justin Bieber’s younger brother on the red carpet we think the singer’s first ever Grammy win probably played quite a big part in him being the second most discussed celebrity, coming in with a solid 35k social mentions.

Lady Gaga’s tribute to the David Bowie earned her 20k mentions and rave reviews online.
