There were countless incredible moments during Sunday night's 57th annual Grammy Awards. It was an especially big night for "Stay With Me" singer Sam Smith, and lots of buzz-worthy collaborations took place on the big stage for all to see.

From a devil-horned performance by AC/DC that took us on the "Highway to Hell," to the questionable fashion choices (ahem, Rihanna's cupcake gown and Iggy Azela's bread loaf hair), we've got you covered on what moments you missed and which ones you want to relive.

Here are the best moments during the Grammys as told in gifs.

Sam Smith owned the night, winning four awards including Best New Artist, Best Song and Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal album for In The Lonely Hour. Smith had one of the best acceptance speeches of the night, telling the world to stay true to who you are.

Prince made a surprise appearance, presenting Best Album of the Year, reminding us that albums just like "books and black lives" still matter.

Kanye West pulled a Kanye after Beck beat out Beyoncé for Album of the Year. As Beck walked on stage, Kayne followed and stepped up to interrupt, almost reliving the Taylor Swift moment. He was just "joking," apparently, and went back to Kim Kardashian.

And obviously Jay-Z thought this was hilarious.


He later said that "Beck needs to respect real artistry and give his award to Beyonce." Beyoncé didn't go home empty handed. She won the Grammy for best R&B song for "Drunk in Love." Queen Bey's latest accomplishment means she is the second-most Grammy award-winning female artist in history, beating Aretha Franklin. (Photo : mockingday/Tumblr)

Of course that's not the only Kanye meltdown moment. He performed twice, most notably alongside Rihanna and Paul McCartney for their song "FourFiveSeconds."

Paul McCartney did enjoy himself, the camera even catching him dancing a bit.
And he wasn't the only great legend to hit the stage. It was a night made for rock 'n' roll. AC/DC opened the show with a devilish performance (and Gaga loved it), and ELO's Jeff Lynne performed "Mr. Blue Sky" and "Evil Woman" with Ed Sheeran.

However, it was Annie Leenox show hypnotized the audience with her soulful duet with Hoizer. The two sang the Irish singer's "Take Me to Church" followed by "I Put a Spell on You."

Kristin wigged out, by dancing alongside Maddie Ziegler for Sia's "Chandelier."

President Obama also made a cameo in a PSA for his administration's #ItsOnUs campaign to end sexual and domestic violence. Brooke Axtell then took the stage, a domestic violence survivor, sharing her story and empowering others before Katy Perry performed "By the Grace of God."

Madonna also rocked the stage, performing her new single "Livin' For Love," showing the world she can still move with her impressive dance skills.

The night ended with Beyoncé' dressed in all white, soulfully singing "Take My Hand Precious Lord" as the night went from hell to heaven before John Legend and Common performed "Glory."
