Award season 2017 has been dominated by a lot of topics: Whether La La Land is actually deserving of all the top honors, whether politics belongs in Hollywood, and just whether or not Meryl Streep is our greatest living treasure. 

But tonight, it's all about the music. 

That's because we're taking a break from the movies to celebrate music's biggest night: The Grammy Awards. All of the best singers and songwriters have gathered at the Staples Center to honor each other and their accomplishments to the industry. Oh, and to get a glimpse of Beyoncé in all her pregnancy announcement glow. Priorities.
