The Grammy Awards 2014 were the highlight of Sunday night, returning again for another high power evening of musical talent. See all the pictures...

The Grammy Awards 2014 kicked off in spectacular style last night, and this year it was the performances, not the red carpet ensembles, that had everyone's tongues wagging.

Hip hop's reigning power couple Beyonce and Jay Z opened the show with one of the H.O.T hottest performances of the night with Bey delivering a sexy rendition of her hit Drunk In Love in a tiny leotard, circled by her adoring husband in a tuxe.

Other notable stage moments were Madonna's ever-controversial stage dalliances, when she officiated 33 same-sex marriages, sure. 2013's big hit makers and The Grammy's big winners Daft Punk performed with none ofther than Stevie Wonder on stage to set Twitter alight.
