Taylor Swift Makes History At Grammy 2016

The Performances
Kendrick Lamar may have had the biggest performance of the night, bringing down the house.
Lamar came out in chains and shackles to perform “The Blacker the Berry,” then breaking out into “Alright” in front of a roaring fire and
tribal dancers.
Before Lamar, Taylor Swift started the night off with a performance of her hit "Out of the Woods." Swift donned a black, glittery one-piece, in front of a smoky backdrop that looked to be straight out of the wilderness.
The Weekend also performed "Can't Feel My Face" next, followed by "In the Night," a ballad that was accompanied by a beautiful live piano ensemble. A hush came over the crowd for the Grammy nominee as he poured his heart out on stage. A standing ovation followed.
Adele and Justin Bieber also captivated the audience with "All I Ask" and "Where Are Ü Now," respectively. Bieber was really enjoying himself on stage, jumping around and jamming out with Skrillex and Diplo.
Lionel Richie

Lionel Richie was celebrated next as Music Cares Foundation's Person of the Year, as the likes of John Legend and Demi Lovato sang his classic songs, including "Easy" and "Hello." Richie shook his head in appreciation as Lovato hit the icon's high notes in front of the packed audience.

But the tribute wasn't done. Luke Bryan sang next and brought a bit of country to "Penny Lover," followed by Tyrese Gibson bringing the funk and singing "Brick House."
Richie finally took the stage to sing himself, belting out "All Night Long," surrounded by his fellow artists. It was epic.
Swift's Passionate Speech

One of Taylor Swift's numerous Grammy wins came for Album of the Year toward the end of the evening. After winning the award for her work with "1989," she gave a passionate speech to other female artists about not letting anyone hold them back.

After mentioning those who undercut success or try to take credit, she added in a fierce tone unlike the usual calm Swift, “Someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and know that it was you and the people who loved you who put you there.”
