After a brief break, it was red carpet time again in Hollywood at the 2024 Grammy Awards!

Music’s biggest night was held at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday starting at 8 p.m. EST. Trevor Noah once again hosted the Recording Academy festivities, with nominees including SZA, Taylor Swift and Jon Batiste showing up in their finest.

The fun actually began much earlier, though, with a pre-show premiere ceremony where the majority of the day’s Grammys were awarded.

PEOPLE had a look at those early winners — and all the fashion fun as the stars walked the red carpet. We’re also recapping all the can’t-miss performances and memorable acceptance speeches.

Celine Dion Makes Surprise Appearance at the 2024 Grammys

Céline Dion has only recently returned to the spotlight after three and a half years after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, which is a rare and incurable neurological disease that can cause debilitating muscle spasms and affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. And now, she’s back on the Grammys stage.

Dion presented the album of the year award, and received a standing ovation when she walked out.

“When I say that I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart,” said Dion. She added, “Those who have been blessed enough here at the Grammy Awards must never take for granted the tremendous love and joy that music brings to our lives and to people all around the world.”

JAY-Z accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award during Sunday’s show, and had his daughter Blue Ivy by his side for his big moment.

During the acceptance speech, JAY-Z called out the Grammys for past snubs of his wife Beyoncé’s music.

“She has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year – that doesn’t work,” said the rapper, adding, “When I get nervous, I tell the truth.”

Ultimately, JAY-Z said he was “honored” to accept the award and challenged viewers to “keep showing up . . . until they give you all those accolades you feel you deserve.”

Wonder then continued to perform for the Grammys In Memoriam segment. He segued into “The Best Is Yet to Come” before the lights faded out and Annie Lennox appeared onstage to sing “Nothing Compares 2 U” in tribute to the late Sinéad O’Connor.

As Lennox sang, photos of more of the artists we lost in 2023 and early 2024 appeared on the screen.

Lenny Kravitz then stepped out to honor “trusted mentor and believer” Clarence Avant, a renowned music executive. Kravitz introduced Jon Batiste, who sang two of Bill Withers’ iconic songs: “Lean on Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

Batiste was joined onstage by additional performers to sing gospel song “Optimistic.”

The In Memoriam celebrations continued with an appearance by Oprah Winfrey, who honored “our forever goddess of rock and roll” Tina Turner. Said Winfrey: “She was a special kind of role model.”

Will Taylor Swift Announce Another Album Tonight?

Eagle-eyed Swifties are taking notice of some strange things happening on Taylor Swift‘s social media platforms and website ahead of her Grammys appearance.

On Sunday, Swift’s website disappeared, only showing an error code when fans navigated to taylorswift.com. The error code seemingly spells “red herring” when the letters are rearranged.

Further, Swift changed her profile picture from color to black and white.

When tied together, fans think it means Swift will be announcing that her next album remake will be Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

Only time will tell!
