Beck might have taken home the trophy for Album of the Year at Sunday's Grammys, but we have to say his real prize was getting to hang out with Beyoncé and Jay Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, backstage!

Reporters asked the 44-year-old crooner what some of his favorite behind-the-scenes moments were at the awards show, and the "Loser" singer dished that his favorite memories (already) involved other A-listers!

"I got to jam on some Hank Williams with Blue and Chris Martin backstage," he told reporters. "She's good on the guitar!"

Blue Ivy was just one a couple of famous tots to steal the show's spotlight, hanging out with "aunt" Rihanna. Both clad in pink, the "FourFiveSeconds" singer and Bey's daughter got photographed in a cute, candid moment, capturing RiRi as she held onto the little 3-year-old.

Although Beck, who will probably now be remembered as a victim of Kanye West's tirades, said he didn't hold a grudge against the "Only One" rapper for taking the stage during his acceptance speech, we can't help but wonder if the iconic singer really felt so forgiving. (Most people wouldn't!) Morning show hosts slammed the rapper, saying that he needs to relax and stop what he's doing.

Today show's Al Roker was particularly peeved by the "Bound 2" rapper's stunt, telling his fellow co-hosts that he needs to back off.

"Why take away somebody else's moment? Why do that?" he asked. "Are you that egotistical or that needy that you have to do something like that?"

When Tamron Hall agreed and said that Kanye needed to "respect" Beck, Roker continued to slam Kim Kardashian's husband.

"Shut up and sit down and stop it," he continued. "You've got a beautiful wife, a gorgeous child and a great career. Shut up and stop."

Hoda Kotb later expressed her disgust with the moment, merely asking, "Is that sick?"

CBS This Morning's Charlie Rose merely said, "Give him a break...as if Beck isn't creative?"
