Bruno took to the stage to perform Let’s Go Crazy, clad like the music icon Prince and banging out a solo on one of Prince’s signature guitars. At the end, Bruno proved he was pretty much the best person for the job.

Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban performing

Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood performed their electronic-tinged duet “The Fighter” on the 2017 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

Underwood wailed and gave an urgent performance that resembled those singers who appear on electronic dance tracks, while Urban was clearly having a ball with the pop-leaning arrangements.

Beyonce accepts the Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album for "Lemonade"

Despite losing out to Adele on her major nominations for the night, Beyoncé still puts on an incredible show during her performance to close out the telecast’s first hour.
