Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran win top honours at 58th Grammy Awards ceremony

It’s the biggest night of the music calendar and the stars were out. The worlds of rap, pop, country and music saw new names being announced as winners, while Lady Gaga and Adele gave jaw dropping performances and so were others who took to the stage. Lady Gaga paid tribute to pop star David Bowie as she ran through the iconic singer's classic songs, while Dave Grohl and The Hollywood Vampires honoured the late Lemmy Kilmister.

LL Cool J did a great job hosting this year's festivities, which were being held at Los Angeles' Staples Center. Four-time Grammy winner Lionel Richie was also honoured by John Legend, Demi Lovato, Tyrese, Meghan Trainor and Luke Bryan.
