Sam Smith dominates music's biggest night

Sarah Kebea
Editor-in-Chief

Sunday night was full of creative performances and surprising moments at the 57th Annual Grammys.  AC/DC started off the show with a hell-themed performance of “Rock or Bust” and “Highway to Hell”.  Kanye West took the stage three times Sunday night, performing “Only One” solo and later performing “FourFiveSeconds” alongside Rihanna and Paul McCartney.  In a surprising moment, West went on stage when Prince announced Morning Phase as Album of the Year, leaving Beck confused, and Jay-Z and Beyonce amused in the audience.  Beyonce also took the stage, ending the show with her rendition of gospel song “Take My Hand, Precious Lord.”  Throughout all the surprises and performances, Sam Smith seemed to continuously rack up his Grammys, leaving him with four awards by the end of the night.
