Every year the GRAMMY Awards show lets us fan-out over our favorite artists. We can't wait to see what they wear, what they'll perform, and we hope that they'll take home the big prize of the night: a golden gramophone.
Although notably different this year (sorry that you felt a little cold sitting in the socially-distanced space outside, Jacob Collier!), the Biggest Night In Music gave us a bit of a reality check: Artists are fans of artists too. Thanks to the intimate stage setting in which our favorite music stars were able to sit side-stage to experience other performances, we saw them light up as they watched on. These moments made us feel a little closer, especially as the pandemic has forced us to be a part. Here are the moments that made us feel warm inside:

Billie Eilish was among the first to perform at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show, but not before she got an up-close and personal view of Harry Styles' opening act. Eilish, who took home the coveted "Record Of The Year" award, rocked back and forth with a sweet smile on her face as the British superstar did his thing on stage with his 2020 hit "Watermelon Sugar."

Styles was one of the night's biggest cheerleaders and had his own moments of admiration for some of the other performers. As Black Pumas gave a soulful performance of "Colors," the Best Pop Solo Performance winner of the night, looked on, singing word for one at one point. He continued the support when Billie Eilish took the stage with an emotive performance of "Everything I wanted." Styles intently watched as Eilish performed one of her biggest hits, showing how much he was feeling it with his head bopping.

Dua Lipa gave an electrifying performance of her hits "Levitating" and "Don't Start Now," and Jhay Cortez and Bad Bunny were front row to see it. The Puerto Rican superstars had recently stepped off stage when the Best Pop Vocal Album winner of the night took us back to the disco era. The two were seen singing along and showing off their own dance moves.

Megan Thee Stallion's "What Would Beyoncé Do" Moment With Beyonce
While the Hot girl and Bey, didn't step on the stage together, they did have an on-stage moment when they accepted the Best Rap Song GRAMMY Award for the "Savage" remix.
"Ever since I was little, I was like, you know what? One day I'm gonna grow up and I'm going to be like the rap Beyoncé" Megan said. The rapper went on to talk about how much she admires Beyoncé's work ethic and how her late mother would ask her, "Megan, what would Beyoncé do?" Now, Megan asks herself, "What would Beyoncé do, but let me make it a little ratchet." Watch the touching speech in full above.
