These Grammy Memes Are A Rundown Of The Music Industry’s Biggest & Most Ridiculous Night

Once a year, the eyes and ears of music fans and music industry types turn to the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards, which celebrate the best in the year in music. Luckily, even if you were unable to watch the ceremony live or just didn't want to sit through the whole thing, you still have the opportunity to follow along with the ceremony, thanks to the best 2019 Grammys memes & tweets. These jokes cover everything from the red carpet to the musical performances to the awards themselves, providing a witty play-by-play of the moments worth remembering from this year's ceremony.

The 2019 Grammys are possibly better defined by which artists aren't performing than it is defined by those who are, with nominees Kendrick Lamar, Donald Glover, and Drake reportedly turning down performance opportunities according to Pitchfork, and Ariana Grande dropping out of the ceremony just a few days before. However, while plenty of musicians decided to sit out the event, the celebrities that did attend the Grammys provided plenty of entertainment throughout the evening, of both the intentional and unintentional varieties.

Luckily, you won't have to dig through your DVR to relive the night's most hilarious, surprising, or shocking moments thanks to the memes and tweets that were inspired by the evening's events.
