Let music's biggest night begin! 

Taylor Swift opened the 58th Annual Grammy Awards with a performance unlike any other. Singing "Out of the Woods" from her album 1989, fans were gifted with quite the T-Swift spectacle that was kept completely under wraps prior to the show.

Audience members were also given the opportunity to take part in the incredible performance, wearing colorful wristbands to light up the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

But even prior to taking the stage, Swift was having a pretty sweet Grammys night. The blond beauty took home Best Pop Vocal Album for 1989 and Best Music Video for "Bad Blood," even letting a few famous friends in on the festivities.

Swift leaned on album collaborator Jack Antonoff (who also lent his guitar skills for the number) to accept her first award of the evening, who called Taylor on the phone from the stage to share the exciting news. Later on, Swift gave fans a sneak peak into the tearful backstage celebrations she shared with BFF Selena Gomez.

The 26-year-old is up for an impressive three more nominations so it's safe to say this isn't the last we'll be seeing of Tay this evening!
