On Sunday night in Los Angeles, the 65th Grammy Awards will be broadcast live.
Here are some of the red carpet looks that stood out the most.
Lizzo is performing and is nominated, and roses are red and violets are blue.
Before the main ceremony, Sam Smith and their outfit-coordinating group, which included Unholy collaborator Kim Petras, attracted attention.
Most of the night's top awards, including album and record of the year, were up for grabs, and Brandi Carlile was one of them.
The dressed-up singer-songwriter noted how she had achieved success by disregarding her mother's advice as she accepted an early award for best rock performance.
She smiled and said, "Mom, I gotta thank you for telling me to stop singing so angry, because obviously I ignored that like I ignored everything you ever told me to do.".
"But I cut my hair, I learned how to scream, and I just won a Grammy for a rock and roll song I wrote from the bottom of my heart. ".
Bebe Rexha wore this pink, low-cut gown on the red carpet despite being nominated for best dance/electronic recording for her David Guetta collaboration I'm Good (Blue).
For Shaggy, who was nominated for best reggae album for Com Fly Wid Mi, a collection of Frank Sinatra covers produced by Sting, the evening was all-white.
Doja Cat was up for several honors, including record of the year for Women.
Elvis Costello, who, like all self-respecting rock stars, wore sunglasses indoors, was nominated for best rock album for his album The Boy Named If.
A nod to the iconic album cover of his band, Mick Fleetwood's attire included a pair of hanging metallic balls.
To honor his late bandmate Christine McVie, he is present.
Five-time Grammy winner Shania Twain arrived at the event wearing a "fun" polka . suit and a towering hat by British-American fashion designer Harris Reed. Her hair matched the red carpet.
The country singer said she was excited to be there to represent country music and that she planned to "get a few hugs in of some of my favorites, and just get up there and present best country album.". ".
A segment celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop will be introduced by rap legend LL Cool J.
He reflected, "It feels like yesterday I was just a little kid in the basement listening to Cold Crush tapes and now here we are all these years later, on the biggest stage in the world in hundreds of countries around the world, presenting hip hop the way I think it should be seen by the masses.
It feels good to serve hip hop on a silver platter tonight after it was traditionally served in a brown paper bag with grease. ".
In addition to flashing her midriff, Taylor Swift arrived sparkling.
The artist received four nominations prior to the ceremony this year, including song of the year for the extended, re-recorded version of All Too Well.
Despite six nominations, she has never won that award. Maybe this is her year.
