"Can't read my, can't read my, he can't read my poker face." Lady GaGa lit up the stage as she starred in the opening performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards, which took place January 31.
After opening with her number one hit "Poker Face," GaGa was joined by musical genius Elton John to perform a mashup of her song "Speechless" with John's well-known "Your Song." This performance, as well as Lady GaGa's outfit, sent chills up and down the spines of the audience and viewers.
Lady GaGa and Elton John were not the only two performers to stun the audience with their musical talents. Beyonce didn't cease to please her fans during her incredible performance.
With her standard powerful stage presence, Beyonce performed her popular hit "If I Were a Boy" and ended her stage time with her rendition of "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. In addition to giving a stellar performance, Beyonce racked up the nominations and awards. A few of these awards included "Song of the Year," "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance," and "Best Female R&B Performance."
Although Beyonce has made her way to the top of the ladder and has entertained us all with her unbelievable talent, it was Taylor Swift who took home the big win. Taylor Swift's "Album of the Year" nomination and win for "Fearless" was, as she said, "My dream come true."
At 20 years old, Taylor Swift has certainly accomplished dreams that many people don't in a lifetime. Luckily for Taylor, Kanye West did not attend the Grammys and she was able to accept her award with full astonishment and respect.
Although Taylor's performance with Stevie Nicks and Butch Walker was not as mind-blowing as Pink dangling from the ceiling, her talent and ability have still rewarded her with the deserved "Album of the Year" award. Swift also received several Grammy Awards in the country category, most notably "Best Country Album."
During this two-and-a-half-hour extravaganza, an unforgettable tribute was made to unforgettable musician Michael Jackson. Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson all contributed to a performance of "Earth Song."
