I love awards shows, and today is Grammy day which I'm very excited about. From the red carpet to the performances to the awards, I love every minute of it.When I was in high school (which was only a year and half ago), I used to watch all of these awards shows and write down who I predicted/wanted to win along with who actually ended up winning. So, seeing as I'm watching the Grammy's as I write this post, why not do what always do when I watch these awards shows, so with that here goes :)
Quick side note: My predictions aren't always necessarily who I think will win, it's usually more of who I WANT to win :)

PERFORMANCES
The show was jam-packed with brilliant performances from extremely talented musicians, so I thought I would share a few of my favourite performances of the night with you :)
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grade's performance of 'Just a Little Bit of Your Heart' was flawless as always, and I was super excited because for those of you who read my 'Three Favourite Albums At The Moment' post, you'll know that 'Just a Little Bit of Your Heart' is my favourite song off her album, so I was super happy that she sang it :)
Side Note: Anna Kendrick was the presenter of the song and my boyfriend loves her, so I thought I'd add that she looked fabulous ;)
Ed Sheeran & John Mayor
Ed Sheeran's performance of 'Thinking Out Loud' with John Mayer was also a favourite performance of mine from the night. Ed Sheeran can do no wrong when it comes to song-writing, performing and singing beautifully :)
Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney
Another favourite performance of mine was Rihanna's, Kanye West's and Paul McCartney's performance of their new song 'Four Five Seconds'. I am loving that song at the moment, so it was great to hear them sing it fantastically at the Grammy's :)
Sam Smith & Mary J. Blige
Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige's performance of 'Stay With Me' was also quite beautiful :)
Sia
My favourite performance of the night however, would probably have to be Sia's performance of 'Chandelier'. I'm a Dance Moms fan so I was happy that Maddie Ziegler danced alongside special guest Kristen Wiig :) It was a really fun, unique performance, Sia sounded phenomenal and she's also an Aussie which is always a plus ;)
FASHION
I was also planning on sharing all of my favourites in regards to the fashion at this years Grammy's, however I'm not going to lie, I was quite disappointed, nothing really stood out to me and made me say 'wow'. So with that I thought I would just share photos of my Best Dressed Female and Male along with a mention of the other outfits I liked.
Best Dressed Female: Taylor Swift
Best Dressed Male: Ne-Yo
Other celeb outfits that I liked on this years Grammy Red Carpet included Anna Kendrick, Nick Jonas, Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, John Mayer and Gwen Stafani.
