Hey M Girls,

Last night was the biggest night in music -- the 2013 Grammy Awards! Between amazing performances, gorgeous outfits and even some drama, it was a night we won't soon forget. So many of our fave stars were nominated for awards and singers like Taylor Swift, Adele and Kelly Clarkson all snagged some big wins! (Scroll down for a list of winners!)

But, let's get to the best part -- the performances! Yep, the Grammys were like a major concert experience and we loved every second. Check out our video highlights below:

Taylor Swift opened the night with her nominated tune, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"! And even though her performance was totally inspired by Alice In Wonderland, that's not what peeps were talking about. You see, in the middle of her tune when Tay has a pretend convo with her ex, she used a British accent -- which many people took as a diss to her most recent ex-BF, Harry Styles. Ouch! Watch for yourself here:

Next up, Ed Sheeran hit the stage with the legendary Elton John to sing his hit, "The A Team" -- and it gave us serious chills! What a performance!

Another big moment at the Grammys was Justin Timberlake's big return to the stage! He performed his new single, "Suit & Tie" and a brand new tune "Mirrors" -- one thing is clear...JT is back!

Rihanna (who looked STUNNING with new, long locks!) slowed things down with her ballad "Stay":

American Idol darling Kelly Clarkson totally showed off her impressive vocals in classic tunes "Tennessee Waltz" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman"

Hunter Hayes opened for tour mate Carrie Underwood with a sample from his song, "Wanted"! Then, Carrie hit the stage and blew everyone away with her songs "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs"! But, the biggest part of Carrie's performance? Her light show gown! Check it out:

Overall, it was a fantastic night that we're sure to be talking about for months! Stay tuned to mmm-mag.com for more Grammy coverage all day long, including our fashion blog and polls!

Hey M Girls!

We all love Kelly Clarkson's old hits, which is why we're super-excited to hear the news that she's releasing a Greatest Hits album! Yesterday, Kelly announced that the album, featuring lots of our fave Kel tunes, hits stores on Nov. 19. But in the meantime, Kelly's brand new single, "Catch My Breath" comes out this coming Tuesday!

Kelly dished about her new track on her website: "To celebrate the strength and longevity that my fans, friends, and family have supported me with I wrote this song 'Catch My Breath' with one of my best friends that has seen me through everything. This song represents who I've been, what I've felt, and where I'm headed as not only an artist but as a 30 year old that is now smart enough to know that it's time to stop, catch my breath, and be proud of not only what has been accomplished but of all the people that have helped me become the woman I am today." We're DEF proud of you, Kel!

So let's dish:

You may be surprised to find out that "Tell Me A Lie" from One Direction's album, "Up All Night" was actually written by Kelly Clarkson! Kel gave the song to the boys, but she had previously recorded her own version. We love them both!

Hey M Girls!

She got her start as the first ever winner of American Idol, but now Kelly Clarkson is starring in a brand new singing competition -- Duets! The show is different than Idol, X Factor, and The Voice -- it'll consist of Kelly, Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles searching for two singers who will be their duet partners. Each week, the four celebs will take the stage with one of the hopeful singers and perform a duet in front of a live audience...sounds interesting! Plus, the winner of the show will get a contract with Hollywood Records!

Duets will premiere this summer on ABC!

Let's dish:

Hey M Girls!

Can you imagine if one of your biggest idols covered your song during a concert? Well, that's what happened for Demi Lovato this past weekend when Kelly Clarkson covered her hit tune, "Skyscraper"! Dem has always looked up to Kelly -- they even performed together at last year's Jingleball in NYC. We think it's awesome that Kelly would choose to sing Demi's song!

Check out Kelly's version of "Skyscraper" here:

Awesome job, Kelly!

Let's dish:
-Did you like Kelly's version of "Skyscraper"? Who do you think sings it better -- Kelly or Demi?
