The Grammy season officially kicked off with a Christmas gift from Mariah Carey, who donned go-go boots to sing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," thereby also giving a little holiday cheer to Phil Spector, one of the writers of the tune.

Hosted by Taylor Swift and LL Cool J, the show featured a mix of performances from the Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and more, as well as awards and the kind of awkward banter usually reserved for actual award shows.
