OMG, are you guys ready?!

The 2014 Grammy Awards kicked off tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and all of your favorite singers, rappers and musicians gathered together to honor the greatest musical creations over the past year. But before they could do that, they made their red carpet appearances.

As usual, the biggest names in music stopped to chat with E! News' Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic before heading into the show, and, per usual, had some very entertaining things to say.

So, before we enjoy music's biggest night, let's see what some of the A-listers told us on the red carpet...
