4. The tweet/instagram/comment or article that made me laugh in response to the Grammy’s: “@Samir[3] taylor swift should be wearing a seatbelt at these events” and Buzzfeed’s ‘8 People Madonna Looked Like at the Grammy’s[4]’

5. My favorite moment of the night: Macklemore’s impassioned performance—it’s so refreshing to see a rapper using his platform to send a positive message.
