Spoiler alert — Sam Smith swept the night, winning four Grammys total. Beck followed the British crooner closely, taking home three awards. There were live performances galore, and Kanye West even made an impromptu appearance on stage a la Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech in 2009 before retreating back to his seat in the audience. West later told reporters he was disappointed Beck won Album of the Year over Beyonce, but it seems he decided against repeating his 2009 antics.
