Miley Cyrus and more continue to arrive on Grammys red carpet

The stars are continuing to shine on the 2024 Grammys red carpet.

Miley Cyrus left little to the imagination as she donned a gown seemingly made entirely out of gold safety pins and big hair for the awards show.

Cyrus is up for three of the top categories of the night, including album of the year for "Endless Summer Vacation" and both song of the year and record of the year for her hit song "Flowers."

Also showing up on the red carpet were "Vampire Diaries" alum Kat Graham and Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue, whose catchy earworm "Padam Padam" won her the inaugural Grammy for best pop dance recording earlier tonight.


Niecy Nash-Betts and Jessica Betts and more couples hit the Grammys red carpet

Several couples stepped out together on the Grammys red carpet, including Niecy Nash-Betts and her wife Jessica Betts, Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson, and Fantasia Barrino and her husband Kendall Taylor.

Betts and Nash-Betts shared a kiss as they posed for photos, while Steenburgen and Danson were all smiles as they walked the carpet together.

Photographers also captured a sweet moment between Barrino, who wore a black gown with a flowing train, and Taylor.


Women dominate in major categories at this year's Grammys

Women occupy nearly all the spots in three of the big four categories this year, including album of the year, song of the year and record of the year.

In the album of the year category, the list of nominees consists predominantly of women, including Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, SZA and the indie group boygenius, which includes Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus.

Janelle Monáe, who uses she/her and they/they pronouns, is also nominated in the album of the year and record of the year categories, marking a major moment for non-binary performers.

Joining Monáe in the record of the year category are boygenius, Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Monét, Rodrigo, Swift and SZA.

Del Rey, Swift, Rodrigo, Lipa, Cyrus, SZA and Eilish also dominated the song of the year category.

Jon Batiste is the only male artist who is nominated in each of those categories.


Victoria Monét poses with boyfriend and daughter

Monét arrived on the Grammy Awards red carpet Sunday with boyfriend John Gaines and their 2-year-old daughter Hazel, turning the event into a family affair.

Monét, who received seven nominations total this year and took home the awards for best R&B album and best engineered album, non-classical, for "JAGUAR II" earlier in the day, wore a bronze gown that matched her daughter's ensemble.

Hazel was nominated alongside her mom for best traditional R&B performance for her appearance on Monét's track "Hollywood," becoming the youngest person ever nominated for a Grammy.


Celine Dion presents album of the year to Taylor Swift

Celine Dion took the stage to present the Grammy for album of the year to Taylor Swift for "Midnights."

"When I say that I'm happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart," Dion said before presenting the award. "Those who have been blessed enough to be 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."

Taking the stage to accept the award, Swift said, "I would love to tell you that this is the best moment of my life, but I feel this happy when I finish a song, or when I crack the code to a bridge that I love, or when I'm shot-listing a music video, or when I'm rehearsing with my dancers or my band, or getting ready to go to Tokyo to play a show."

"For me, the award is the work," she continued. "All I want to do is keep being able to do this. I love it so much. It makes me so happy."

With this win, Swift becomes the first artist to win in the category four times. Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon have each won album of the year three times.

Other nominees in the category included Jon Batiste for "World Music Radio," boygenius for "The Record," Miley Cyrus for "Endless Summer Vacation," Lana Del Rey for "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd," Janelle Monáe for "The Age of Pleasure," Olivia Rodrigo for "GUTS" and SZA for "SOS."
