The 58th Annual Grammy Awards has officially started. After winning two awards at the pre-telecast show, Taylor Swift kicked things off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday night, February 15 with a performance of her latest single, "Out of the Woods". Clad in a sparkling blue outfit, she's joined by the song's co-writer Jack Antonoff.

After host LL Cool J's opening monologue, the first award during the telecast was handed out to Kendrick Lamar. The rapper took home the Best Rap Album for his 2015 acclaimed set, "To Pimp a Butterfly", which is also up for the coveted Album of the Year.

Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt were the next performers taking the stage, launching a duet of his song "Take Your Time" and her "Heartbeat". Afterwards, The Weeknd played a medley of his big hits including "Can't Feel My Face" and "In the Night".

Ellie Goulding and Andra Day teamed up for a beautiful duet before Chris Stapleton won the Best Country Album trophy for his "Traveller". "This is something you never ever dream of so I'm super grateful for it," the country star said during his acceptance speech before thanking the album's producer Dave Cobb, his label and his family. He also gave Swift a shout out for "glitter bombing" him.
