The 2017 Grammy Awards were almost four-hours of non-stop performances, awards and meme-worthy moments. The packed event featured just about every A-list artist in music, as well as no shortage of big moments and blunders, therefore it was easy to get lost in the show.
One thing that didn’t get lost during last night’s show was the strong message of girl power. Feminism was live and well at the 2017 Grammy Awards and that’s just how we like it.
From mutual fan-girling moments to inspiring messages of hope, check out all the times the 2017 Grammy Awards empowered us.
