From almost-kisses to near trophy misses, via rock 'n' roll tributes and jokes at Will Smith's expense, here are five stand-out moments from the 2022 Grammys ceremony in Sin City on Sunday.

1. BTS star flirted with Olivia Rodrigo

BTS band member V, was caught on-camera leaning in to whisper sweet nothings into the ear of Olivia Rodrigo, shortly after she'd performed her hit Drivers License to the famous audience. We don't know exactly what V said to her before he produced a card from behind her ear, but the former Disney child star definitely looked (or acted) shocked.

2. Billie Eilish honoured Taylor Hawkins during a mini rooftop gig

During a performance of her track Happier than Ever, with her brother Finneas, the 20-year-old singer held up her black t-shirt to make it clear she was wearing an image of Foo Fighters star Taylor Hawkins. The drummer had been due to perform at the Grammys himself with his band but tragically died last week aged 50, while on tour in Colombia.

3. Dua and Megan's wardrobe mishap

Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion recreated the iconic fashion moment with Mariah Carey and Whitney Huston at the 1998 Video Music Awards. "I was told I'd have the exclusive," carped Dua Lipa. "I'm going to have to have a talk with Donatella". At which point the designer walked on stage, ripped off parts of the singers' costumes and re-styled them on the fly.

4. Questlove made a Will Smith joke

Last week, Questlove's glorious, soul-restoring film Summer Of Soul won the best documentary at the Oscars. But, as you'll recall, his big moment was rather overshadowed by the events immediately preceding that - when Will Smith slapped award presenter and comedian Chris Rock.

He had better luck at the Grammys, where Summer Of Soul also won best music film - but he couldn't resist a little quip about last week's events. Presenting the award for song of the year to Silk Sonic, for Leave the Door Open, he quipped: "I'm gonna present this award and I trust that you people will stay 500 feet away from me."

5. Doja Cat almost missed collecting her award

Doja Cat was one of the big winners on the night, scooping the award for best pop duo/group performance for Kiss Me More - her collaboration with SZA. However, she almost missed her big moment by attending to a call of nature minutes before her name was called out.

Looking rather sheepish on stage, the singer joked: "I've never taken such a fast [wee] in my whole life!" while adjusting her dress. "I'm glad you made it back in time," joked SZA.
