Welcome to Grammy night! We'll be here live-blogging through the entire ceremony, one of the most wide-open nights in recent history. Will fun. have a fun night? Will Frank Ocean have a career-making night? We'll find out. 
 11:28 p.m. -- The Grammys close on a Strong Island note, bringing on Public Enemy's Chuck D for the hip-hop finale, alongside LL Cool J.

 11:10 p.m. -- Frank Ocean is making an amazing first impression on a lot of people with this gorgeous version of "Forrest Gump." I kept wondering if Prince was gonna sit in, but somehow he wasn't actually needed. Great visuals too! 
 10:57 p.m. -- The tribute to Levon Helm was moving, especially Mavis Staples and Mumford and Sons, but when Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard wailed away, it certainly made me wonder why she didn't get to sing a song of her own as well.

 10:20 p.m. -- Gotye wins record of the year for "Somebody That I Used to Know," giving him three wins for the evening and preventing a fun. sweep. 
 10:10 p.m. -- OK, I'm not going to complain about how this "Bob Marley Tribute" only included one Marley song because it was really pretty great -- especially when Rihanna joined Bruno Mars, Sting and Damian and Ziggy Marley for "Could You Be Loved." But did we really need Sting's "Walking on the Moon" instead of another Marley song? Also, it was really cute how everyone was singing along with "Locked Out of Heaven," including Adele and Keith Urban.

 8:01 p.m. -- Taylor Swift opens the Grammys with a sneak peek at her Red Tour and its circus theme for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
