Pink
While her 2014 performance also deserves a round of
applause, there was something truly spectacular about the singer's 2010
rendition of "Glitter in the Air." When Pink takes to the stage—or sings
in the air—nobody is disappointed.

Taylor Swift
The "Shake It Off" singer made history by becoming the
first woman to win Album of the Year twice. "I want to say to all the
women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try
to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or
your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those
people side-track you, someday when you get to where you're going,
you'll look around and you will know it was you and the people who love
you who put you there and that will be the greatest feeling in the
world," she
shared.
Macklemore & Friends
When the rapper performed "Same Love" with Mary Lambert
and Ryan Lewis, Queen Latifah appeared on stage to help officiate
weddings for 34 couples. Madonna would also join in on the powerful
moment by performing "Open Your Heart."
Prince & Beyoncé
This award show always promises unique collaborations
and 2004 was no different when these music superstars performed both
"Purple Rain" and "Crazy in Love."
Kristen Wiig & Maddie Ziegler
During her 2015 performance, Sia decided to
surprise fans by bringing out a few special guests. Let's just say the Hollywood stars made us love "Chandelier" even more.
Jennifer Hudson
One day after Whitney Houston passed away,
The Voice coach had the honor of
performing
"I Will Always Love You" in celebration of the legendary singer.
Jennifer exceeded expectations and received a standing ovation.

Beck & Kanye West
When Beck
beat out Beyoncé for
Album of the Year, the "Gold Digger" rapper pretended to interrupt the

humor (and impeccable timing).

Justin Timberlake
Just a few days after the infamous nip-slip scandal at
the Super Bowl, Justin accepted his award for Best Pop Performance for
"Cry Me a River." During his speech, the former N' Sync
member apologized for the controversial moment during the biggest
football game of the year.
Pharrell Williams
Rewind to 2014 when the "Happy" singer started a whole new fashion trend with his giant
$44,000 hat. The fashion accessory became the talk of the show and social media. Heck, it even received its own Twitter account.
Lady Gaga
Forget about stepping out of a limo in a suit or
designer dress. For the "Born This Way" singer, she turned heads in 2011
after arriving to the Staples Center in an egg.
