The 2025 Grammys took place at the Crypto.com Arena in California on Sunday.
The stars were out for music's biggest night.
Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, Shaboozey, and Chappell Roan were all spotted mingling.
The 2025 Grammys are officially over, but we'll always have these photos to remind us what a fun night it was for both the viewers and the stars in the room.
The biggest musicians of the moment attended the awards show at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, showing off their red-carpet fashion and honoring the best music of 2024.
Trevor Noah was the master of ceremonies for the fifth time in a row and while he can run the show like a well-oiled machine for CBS, some of the most iconic moments of the night happened off-screen.
Take a look at some of the best candid photos from the 2025 Grammy Awards you might have missed.
In what may be the image of the night, Taylor Swift raised a glass to Kendrick Lamar after his record of the year win.
Swift, who collaborated with Lamar originally on "Bad Blood" in 2014, and again in 2023 for "Bad Blood (Taylor's Version)," was spotted dancing and singing along when Lamar won record of the year for his Drake diss "Not Like Us."
Reigning pop girlies Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan posed together.
It was all smiles and hugs for these three, who were up against each other in album of the year, song of the year, and record of the year.
Willow Smith hitched a ride from her dad, Will.
The Oscar winner was at the show to honor Quincy Jones.
Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge snapped a selfie.
Rodrigo and Partridge didn't walk the red carpet together, but they were still one of the best-dressed couples of the evening.
Coco Jones and Queen Latifah also took a selfie together.
Jones was nominated for best R&B performance and best R&B song, while Latifah was on hand to present Alicia Keys with the Dr. Dre Global Impact award.
Shaboozey had a busy evening and talked with many of his fellow musicians. He stopped at Noah Kahan and Kelsea Ballerini's table.
Ballerini and Kahan were nominated for best country duo/group performance, but lost to Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé.
He also met Lady Gaga.
The two shook hands.
And he looked like he was deep in conversation with Chappell Roan.
He lost best new artist to her, but clearly, there are no hard feelings.
Chappell Roan also had quite the busy evening.
In addition to winning best new artist, giving a speech calling out record labels for failing to support their musicians, and bringing the house down with a performance of "Pink Pony Club," Roan also had time to giggle with Sabrina Carpenter.
Taylor Swift was spotted whispering to Roan during the ceremony.
As Roan says, she's "your favorite artist's favorite artist."
Shakira hugged Gloria Estefan.
Estefan, who won best global music performance earlier in the night, was there to introduce Shakira.
Shakira gave Beyoncé a quick hug during her performance while Blue Ivy and Jay-Z looked on.
The two collaborated on 2007's "Beautiful Liar."
Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini continued to be a cute couple.
Carpenter, who won three Grammys this year, received some love from Swift. Carpenter was one of the openers on the Eras Tour.
Alicia Keys and Lena Waithe looked happy to see each other.
Waithe was on hand to support her partner, Cynthia Erivo, who performed as part of the tribute to Quincy Jones.
Keys won a Grammy for best musical theater album — her songs were used in the musical "Hell's Kitchen."
Troye Sivan got a selfie with Charli XCX and George Daniel of The 1975.
"Brat" singer Charli XCX performed a medley of "Von Dutch" and "Guess" at the end of the night. It was announced during the show that all the unused underwear from her performance would be donated.
Doechii had an animated discussion with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
Doechii won her first Grammy for best rap album, making her the third woman to ever win the award after Lauryn Hill and Cardi B.
Olivia Rodrigo was living her best life during Janelle Monáe's performance.
Monáe channeled Michael Jackson to perform "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" as part of the Quincy Jones tribute. She even moonwalked!
Margaret Qualley and Miley Cyrus posed together.
Qualley attended the ceremony with her husband, Jack Antonoff, who was nominated multiple times. Cyrus presented Kendrick Lamar with record of the year.
