The 67th Annual Grammy Awards that took place on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, delivered more than just historic wins. The event was packed with unforgettable moments, viral memes, and headline-grabbing surprises. From jaw-dropping fashion choices to unexpected on-stage antics, here are the most iconic and meme-worthy highlights of the night.

1. Taylor Swift in her Wicked era

While she failed to bag any wins, Taylor Swift appeared to be having a good time at the Grammys. The pop star gained attention for not only recreating the viral “holding space for Defying Gravity” meme alongside Cynthia Erivo but later too, when she recreated the iconic poster of Wicked with Chappell Roan.

Fans also spotted Swift effortlessly catching Janelle Monáe’s jacket mid-air and wearing it over her crimson Vivienne Westwood dress, after Monáe flung it during the Quincy Jones tribute, proving once again that Swift, quite literally, never misses.

Fans flooded the internet with memes using the moment as reaction gifs.

3. Benson Boone front flips off a piano

Rising star Benson Boone delivered one of the most electrifying Grammy performances ever, starting in a classic black tuxedo designed by his stylist Monty Jackson and crafted by his in-house tailors. Mid-song, Nikki Glaser and Heidi Klum dramatically helped him strip out of the tux, revealing a custom multi-layered sequined mesh jumpsuit with a flared leg, open front, and silk collar, also designed by Jackson.

In a now-viral moment, Boone sprinted across the stage and front-flipped off a piano, leaving the audience in awe and instantly creating one of the night’s most viral moments.

4. Doechii's eye-roll

Trevor Noah, who was hosting the event for the fourth time, delivered a political joke that few found amusing including Doechii. The Best Rap Album winner was caught rolling her eyes after Noah’s immigration joke, where he said, “Tonight, we’re honoring the best in music as voted on by the 13,000 members of the Recording Academy… and 20 million illegal immigrants.” Given the political climate, her reaction quickly went viral.

Not my normal content, but I just HAD to share this. EXACTLY the correct response to a ridiculous “joke” like this. Love you @Doechii 🩷 #doechii #grammys #thegrammys #grammys2025 #grammyslive

5. Jaden Smith's eccentric style choices

Attending the event alongside his sister Willow, who was nominated for two Grammys, the rapper showed up in a black suit and tie with a bizarre accessory to his outfit: a miniature, black castle that he wore on his head. The headgear featured a circle that was cut in the front of the castle for his face to appear through it.
