Here’s Lady GaGa at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Sunday night where she pushed the boundaries of sexual perception or whatever the hell you call the outcome of eating a bucket of acid then wearing Superman’s crystal computer as… …read full story

Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kings of Leon and Green Day earned top honors at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, but it was the performances that truly earned the crowd’s respect and admiration on music’s biggest night.

CLICK HERE for the list of tonight’s winners.

Taylor Swift’s Fearless was named Album of the Year over tough competition in Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and the Dave Matthews Band. The exuberant 20-year-old told the crowd, "Our families are freaking out in their living rooms. … This is the story we’re going to be telling over and over again." Fearless also picked up Best Country Album, and the young performer said, "I just feel like I’m standing here accepting an impossible dream."

In December, I wondered if Taylor Swift was being set up for a fall, and after tonight’s not-so-great Grammy performance, featuring Stevie Nicks, which followed a breathless “she’s-so-phenomenal” intro by Ryan Seacrest, one wonders if the backlash will indeed begin.

Earlier: Is Taylor Swift Being Set Up For A Fall?

"Prince" Michael Jackson spoke publicly for the first time, as he and his sister Paris accepted their late father’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys.

Joined by their cousins, Prince addressed the award show crowd, saying of his dad, "Through all his songs, his message was simple — love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world.”

Choking up a bit, Prince also thanked the King of Pop’s fans. "Our father loved you so much because you were always there for him."

Taylor Swift and the Black Eyed Peas may have gotten the Grammy, but there were four other big winners Sunday night as well!

Our Kevin Frazier went one-on-one with the winners of MasterCard’s VIP Grammy Experience contest as they strolled the red carpet — side-by-side with the music world’s biggest stars.

In addition to having a ticket to the big show, each winner got a 5-day/4-night trip to L.A. for them and a guest, tickets to a pre-party, admission to the official Grammy after-party and a $5,000 MasterCard gift card.

You saw the nine women of VH1 Tough Love 2 talk about their past and progress on tonight’s finale, but where are they now? We actually have some idea of this, thanks to the Tough Love 2 producers following up with the girls to find out what’s going on with their love lives as a [...]

Welcome to the show! Get ready for a night of dramatic speeches, hopefully-decent performances, Gaga costume changes, and good times with your fellow commenters.

11:28: And there you have it, crew! Thanks for hanging out with me tonight! We’ll have more on the show, fashions, gossip, and all, in the morning. Have a nice night!

11:25: And Album of the Year goes to….Taylor Swift.

11:25 Oh, thank goodness, the final award.

11:20: I’m still pretty saddened by the overall lack of Gaga.

11:18 THIS IS THE SHOW THAT DOESN’T END! YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS!

11:14 Either my tv is messed up or the censors are out in full force for this Eminem/Drake/Travis Barker/Lil’ Wayne performance.

11:13 You guys? When did Quentin Tarantino turn into Robin Williams?

11:12Quentin Tarantino is just so…Quentin Tarantino sometimes, you know? Dial it back, dude.

11:05:I really loved that singer’s gold dress and hair swirl. “Mmm…hair swirl.” sounds like something Homer Simpson would say. Can you tell I’m kind of losing it, you guys? I need Gaga to show up and ride a unicorn around while shooting fireworks out of her ears to save this show at this point.

11:01: And now the In Memorium montage. Sorry we had to rush it, you guys, but Academy guy needed 19 hours to talk about how awesome the Grammy Museum is earlier tonight.

10:59 And now Roberta Flack has joined Maxwell for a duet.

10:57 The audience has no idea how to move to this song. It’s hilariously awkward. Maxwell, however, is great.

10:56And now it’s time for Maxwell. The differences between this set and the Black Eyed Peas set are striking, no? It’s like the Grammys took us out to the club and now they want us to come back to their house for a drink or something.

10:55 Ladies Love Cool James!

10:50 There’s not enough Gaga in this show, man.

10:48 And the winner for Best Female Pop Performance is…Beyonce, for “Halo.”

You guys, my entire childhood toy chest is coming to life tonight. First, it was Lady Gaga as Jem, and now it’s Fergie, as She-Ra.

10:42 You guys, I can’t hear this band without thinking of John Edwards now, and it’s seriously creeping me out.

10:41And now it’s time for the Dave Matthews Band. Will someone please do something exciting? Where is Kanye when we need him?!

10:39: Oh, here we go: the lecture on illegal downloads has begun. And now Adam Sandler is here, for some reason.

10:36: Here comes the Academy guy to talk about the Grammy museum, because everyone wants to hear about this right? Good thing we stole those 9 extra seconds from Stephen Colbert so that we could pat ourselves on the back, eh, Grammys?

10:34 How are you guys doing out there? I can’t believe they’ve only given out like 2 awards.

10:25 Wyclef is giving a shout out to Haiti in Creole before introducing a tribute song for Haitian relief performed by Mary J. Blige, David Foster, and Andrea Bocelli.

10:18And the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration goes to “Run This Town.” Rihanna and Jay-Z are there to accept, but Kanye isn’t.

10:15 I feel like people who didn’t live through the 80s have kind of ruined 80s nostalgia for everyone, and that includes this song.

10:11: I wish Bon Jovi would just bring back his giant Aqua Net hair. That’s due for a revival, right?

10:00: And now Prince and Paris Jackson arrive to accept the Lifetime Achievement award on their father’s behalf. Prince is holding it together well. “We will continue to spread his message and help the world. Thank you.” Paris: “Daddy was supposed to be here…Daddy was supposed to perform this year….Thank you, we love you Daddy.”

9:58The ridiculousness of celebrities singing “What about us!?” while wearing designer gowns and jewels is almost too much too take, right?

9:55Uh, this is apparently being shown in 3-D, which is awesome, if you have 3-D glasses, but for the rest of us, it just looks like our televisions are totally screwed up.

9:53 Lionel Richie is here to introduce the Michael Jackson tribute, with Carrie Underwood, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, and Celine Dion singing “Earth Song” alongside Michael.

9:52Oh, dear.

9:50This is easily the worst performance of the night. Even Stevie can’t save it. I fear the Taylor Swift backlash (which I called in December, by the way), is just around the bend.

9:47 And here comes Stevie Nicks to sing Rihannon alongside Taylor Swift, which is great for those of us who love Stevie Nicks, but terrible for Taylor Swift, as her vocals seem really off compared to Stevie’s.

9:45Ryan Seacrest is back, unfortunately, to introduce “the phenomenal Taylor Swift.” I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I think she’s very talented, but the Taylor Swift worship brigade is kind of weirding me out.

9:42STEVIE NICKS! With..Taylor Swift? What song?

9:40 Celine Dion is on the way you guys. Is there any Celine Dion as great as super-over-dramatic awards show Celine Dion?!? I think not.

9:38: The audience is kind of confused and kind of amazed, I think. They aren’t used to a country band that doesn’t involve a blonde girl or a rap performance by Kid Rock.

9:35 And now tonight’s Best New Artist, the Zac Brown Band, featuring Leon Russell. The crowd that was just blaming it on the alcohol 2 seconds ago is now really feeling it for America.

9:34Side note: I’m pretty sure there wasn’t one band in that category where the main members were under 35 years old.

9:33And the award for Best Rock Album goes to…Green Day.

9:32Katy Perry’s dress is much, much better on stage than it was on the red carpet. She also just fucked up reading the cue cards, though I doubt she really cares.

9:30 It’s 9:30 and they’ve only given out 5 awards. I believe that’s grounds for calling shenanigans.

9:26 I kind of wish Andy Samberg had come to the awards with Rihanna in character as Shy Ronnie.

9:25Poor Ke$ha! They made her present with Justin Beiber. It looks like she’s been forced to sit at the kid’s table.

9:21:It’s always a bad idea to show crowd shots of people “dancing” at award shows. It’s so, so awkward. And here comes Slash. Ugh. Everything about this performance is so played out.

9:20 Oh, dear.

9:19And now Robert Downey, Jr. comes out, in crooked glasses, to introduce a Jamie Foxx performance. Rihanna is half-ass clapping in the audience, and Jay-Z is giving a really forced, kind of nerdy smile about the entire thing.

9:18 Ringo! And the Grammy for Record of the Year goes to….Kings of Leon!?!?

Beyonce’s performance attire, for those who may have missed it.

9:14 That was seriously kind of ballsy and rude, considering Colbert did them a favor and kicked off the hostless show with a solid routine.

9:13 No, really: they just played Stephen Colbert off. Who DOES that?!

9:10 And the award for Best Comedy Album goes to: Stephen Colbert. “It’s a Christmas album, so obviously I have to thank Jesus Christ.” OMG THEY ARE CUTTING OFF STEPHEN COLBERT! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW!?!?

9:09: It kind of pisses me of that the show can spend 4 hours on dumb presenter banter, but can’t spare 30 seconds to let the actual winners give their speeches.

9:08 The dude in Lady Antebellum kind of looks like he’s dressed to play Danny Zuko in Grease, right?

9:07: Don’t forget, crew: Sadie is constantly updating the front page with red carpet gowns, so go take a look!

9:05: And now Lady Antebellum takes the stage. Have they seriously only given out three awards at this point? Should they just throw the whole awards part out altogether and just be honest about the fact that this is just a big concert?

9:04I don’t “get” the Jonas Brothers. Could someone please explain them to me? Do you need to be in the Tiger Beat demo to be a fan?

9:00: I’m a bit wary of “Earth Song” being the centerpiece of the Michael Jackson tribute. That song is really kind of depressing.

9:00: “Welcome to the future!” Autotune and overproduction!

8:59 It is my sincerest hope that the Black Eyed Peas’ view of the future will inspire some young genius child out there to build a time machine to take us all wayyyy back into the past.

8:57: This is like Gaga on a budget, isn’t it?

8:54 I always hear the lyrics to this song as “I’mma pee.” Related: a Black Eyed Peas performance is a great time for a bathroom break, no?

8:49: Seriously, though, how rude was that?

8:48 The Grammys are such a bitchy popularity contest, aren’t they? Taylor Swift would NEVER get played off the stage like that.

8:47: And the Best New Artist award goes to The Zac Brown Band. Confession? “Chickenfried” is kind of a jam, you guys. Not even going to lie.

This, boys and girls, is the aftermath of awesomeness.

8:42 Pink strips down to a very skimpy Cirque du Soleil-esque outfit and the acrobatics begin, as they did during her performance at the American Music Awards.

8:40 After a very brief shout out to Leonard Cohen by Seal, Pink takes the stage. Glitter is definitely back in, you guys. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before people start taking roll-on jars of it to their faces again.

The gold microphone really makes it right? She’s the closest we have to a real-life Jem.

8:32 Pretty sure Beyonce just forgot the words there for a second, but she recovered pretty well.

8:31 For those who can’t get to a television: Beyonce is wearing a short black studded leather dress and silver ankle boots. She’s also now singing “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morrissette.

8:29Beyonce has an entire army surrounding her. It’s very Michael/Janet, choreography wise, no?

8:28 Simon Baker just gave Beyonce the least enthusiastic intro of all time.

8:26: Taylor Swift’s fake-shock expression is getting really tired, isn’t it? She won two Grammys already today, though this is the first one she accepted “on national television.”

8:25: And, no surprises here: Taylor Swift wins for Best Country Album.

8:24: Poor Kristen Bell. She’s been promoting this turd for weeks. They won’t even give her a break at the Grammys. She’s Veronica Mars, dammit! Let her do what she wants!

Side note: I love Britney, but WTF is she wearing, you guys?

8:19 I am really over the High School Musicalization of the universe, you guys. Sorry.

8:16 Ugh. BRB, watching this.

8:14 Jennifer Lopez is talking about Green Day’s American Idiot as if it’s their first album. And now we’re watching the cast of American Idiot: The Musical or some such performing with Green Day. Watching a Green Day musical is…weird. I feel really, really old all of a sudden.

8:14 Ugh, really shitty planning, Grammy Awards. Beyonce can’t accept the award…because she’s too busy getting ready to perform. Not really well thought out, eh?

8:12 And Song of the Year goes to: Beyonce, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”

8:11 Colbert whips out an iPad to read off the nominees for “Song of the Year.” BTW: is this award really early this year, or do they always hand it out this soon?

8:10: Colbert: “Justin Timberlake may have brought the sexy back, but Susan Boyle sent it away again. Goodbye, sexy! We’re going with really good singing this year.”

8:09 Stephen Colbert is now doing a bit with his teenage daughter: “Have a good time honey. Stay away from Katy Perry.”

8:07 And the crowd loves it. So far, so good. Stephen Colbert is up to present the first award (or maybe just open the show?). “We are here tonight to celebrate what I believe is our most precious right. The right of celebrities to congratulate each other.” The audience gives that joke a half-ass clap.

8:06 The Sir and the Lady are now doing a jazzy version of “Your Song,” which, I predict, will be all over the radio tomorrow. Or at least all over the internet. So good!

8:04:Oh shit— I think part of Gaga’s costume just fell off. Her glasses?

8:03: Gaga is “turning us all into monsters.” And out comes a dual piano, with Gaga on one side and Elton John on the other. There are also a ton of severed arms on top. Typing this out is cracking me up.

8:02 Gaga is wearing huge green shoulder pads, pink triangles around her eyes, and, as expected, no pants. “Poker Face” is kicking things off. There’s definitely a backing track, though I can’t tell if she’s singing or not. I’m 98% sure she is.

8:01: And we kick things off with Gaga doing a spin on “Steam Heat” from The Pajama Game. Welcome to the Fame Factory, crew.

8:00: Here we go! “Tonight, it’s ladies night.”

Goldman Sachs is wasting no time doing exactly what Obama complained about in his SOTU last week: handing out enormous bonuses. The Times of London reports that Goldman is planning to pay CEO Lloyd Blankfein a record $100 million bonus.

Obama has been very publicly waging his popular War on Bank Bonuses (Remember that time Obama called bank bonuses “obscene” and everyone flipped out? And then he bashed huge bonuses as “the height of irresponsibility“. And said bad things about bonuses last week in his SOTU.) And it seems to have worked, at least superficially. Investment banks are cutting back on bonuses—including Goldman, who are giving sweet mortgages to their employees in lieu of bonuses.

But now: Blankfein’s looking to net a cool $100 million for riding his vampire squid to record profits last year—way more than his previous record take of $67 million in 2007. And this after he snubbed Obama back in December due to dubious “inclement weather.” Goldman’s strategy must be to give Blankfein enough money to build a subterranean Obama-proof bomb shelter, stock it with provisions and plasma screens, lock the big doors and emerge only when the world is again made safe for investment bankers (~2014).

This episode is infested.

Positively infested.

We begin with the aftershocks of Jenny’s elimination. Felicia poses with a coffee pot and says that it just goes to show that Frank will dig up secrets if they exist. Indeed, he’s the 21st century equivalent of Scooby Doo, if Scooby Doo were a gym bunny instead of whatever the [...]

Ha, just kidding: The Grammys® are a superslick celebration of America’s soulless musical-industrial complex, so what’s a little shill for Apple? Onstage tonight, Grammy host Stephen Colbert became one of the select few humans who have touched an iPad.

Greetings, Fug Nation! Thank you for joining us on a Sunday to gape, gasp and guffaw over the Grammy red carpet. (Apparently, this live-blog is brought to you by the letter “G.” For Grammys! Also for: gross, grouchy, grating, and…

Several celebs were a little shady on the red carpet. From Jamie Foxx to Ringo Starr, some stars chose to wear their sunglasses at night on the Grammy red carpet. ET has the pics of the too-cool celebs and their stylish shades.

Bold and beautiful celebrities and musicians alike are showing off their most daring styles at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards — ET has the red carpet pics!

And so it begins: The dresses! The embarrassing questions! The awkward segues! The road to the best dressed and the worst dressed lists start here, so feel free to make the case for your favorites in the comments.

7:57: I think things are wrapping up on the red carpet, crew, so be sure to switch over to our Grammys Live Blog thread, which will be up at 8pm. See you there!

7:53 Colbie Callat’s dress is really pretty. As to the designer? “He’s from Europe.”

7:52: Rihanna is wearing some sort of white feathery dress.

7:51: Ryan Seacrest is self-promoting, again. This guy. Ugh.

7:50: Ne-Yo is promoting his protege, who is clearly expressing that she’s an artist that he’s signed, and Seacrest is being a dick about it. “I’ve heard a lot of words for date, but artists, not often!”

7:47: I think Gaga is avoiding Seacrest. Can you blame her?

7:45:Ryan is all alone on his sad little red carpet box. He saw Britney…but she kept walking by him, apparently. Dissed by the Legendary Miss Britney Spears! Living legend, you can look but don’t touch, and so on and so forth.

7:44 Prediction: Ciara will be on the worst dressed list tomorrow.

7:41 I feel like we’ve seen Sheryl Crow in this dress before.

7:40 Ke$ha says her life has changed because she “can buy myself a taco these days.” I feel like it’s tough to pull off the eye makeup and hair feather when Lady Gaga is in the same room, dressed as a demented fairy from Jupiter.

7:39: Beyonce has silver streaks in her hair, and I kind of love them. I’m still not convinced about the dress.

7:37 I can’t pay attention to Slash because they’re showing footage of Gaga in the background. She looks very serious tonight.

7:36 I’m going to need a better view of Beyonce’s dress, I think. The Glam Cam most likely didn’t do it justice.

7:35: No, seriously. Am I missing something? WTF is she wearing?!

7:34 Um, you guys? What the hell is Beyonce wearing?

7:33Ugh. Kings of Leon. These are the guys who act like they’re too cool to be here, but secretly are so fucking excited to be here that they can’t handle it.

7:31 Taylor Swift always kills it on the red carpet, doesn’t she? She’s unsurprisingly in sparkles, though it looks like she’s moving in a more mature direction. Also, I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to fashion, but that kind of made sense, right? Get used to this dress: the prediction is that it’s going to be Swift’s night.

7:29 And here’s my mom’s boyfriend, Keith Urban. It must be so weird for Nicole Kidman to be at one of these things, where she’s sort of the sidekick. Kidman is dressed for the Oscars at the Grammys, I’m afraid. She’s also trying to slouch for Urban’s benefit, but it’s not working.

7:27 Jamie Foxx lets his family handle Ryan Seacrest. And now we have Miley Cyrus, who is possibly going to play Demi Moore’s daughter in something. Miley: “No, I’m not engaged.” The ring she’s wearing is a cheap ring she bought for herself.

7:26: Wyclef says he has organized the 25th anniversary of “We Are The World” and all proceeds will go to Haiti. Ryan gets serious for 2.1 seconds about Haiti before brushing Wyclef aside in favor of Jamie Foxx.

7:25: I can’t really figure out Carrie Underwood’s dress. It’s simple…but it’s also kind of complicated.

7:24: Ryan, you aren’t invited to everyone’s wedding. Stop asking.

7:21: Pink says she’s better at writing songs when she’s heartbroken, much to her husband Carey Hart’s dismay. Why is Ryan continually trying to get in every couple’s business? It’s so, so creepy.

7:16: Don’t you kind of love how Ryan is now more intimidated of Jennifer Hudson’s star power than the other way around from the American Idol days?

7:15 Seacrest works ANOTHER reference to his own dating life in while talking to Maxwell.

AMAZING.

7:12 The American Idol cross-promotion is so gross. And nobody cares about Kara. Whatever. That show is nothing without Abdul. NOTHING!

7:10 Keri Hilson’s dress is very simple and very pretty. Guiliana is talking to her like she’s stupid, for some reason.

7:05 And now we’re having another creepy conversation about Ryan spying on a couple’s secret love life. That’s enough, Seacrest.

7:02: Ryan says the Black Eyed Peas have already won 3 Grammys, which pretty much sums up everything that is wrong about the Grammys. Fergie’s dress is kind of fun though, right?

7:01: Ryan wants the details on Seal and Heidi’s Valentine’s Day plans. It’s…creepy.

7:00: Guiliana really knows how to backhand, doesn’t she? “I’m here with Kaley Cuoco…the actress?”

6:59 Usher is making me look forward to the Michael Jackson tribute.

6:54: Katy Perry is wearing a bindi, because she just went to India and has this “whole kind of India thing.” Oh man. Shades of Gwen circa 1995, no? She says she knew Russell Brand was going to propose because she “saw it on Google Alerts.” Ryan Seacrest has offered to marry them, and Katy Perry was like, “Uh, no.”

6:53: Katy Perry and Russell Brand are really cute together. He says he proposed to her “just like, really politely.”

6:51 This “girls stand still, guys have fun” bullshit is out of control. I’m about to crash that Glam Cam myself, screaming, “More fun! More fun” a la Gordon Bombay.

6:48 Stephen Colbert is sort of half-in character and half-out of character, which is weird. For Lady Gaga’s second outfit, he says, “They’re just going to spray her down with glue and run her through a Build-A-Bear Workshop.”

6:46: The only thing more boring than watching other people play video games is watching people play video games while Ryan Seacrest asks them questions. Also, side note: I read an article in the NYTimes wherein it was revealed that Justin Bieber has a “swagger coach.” I want a “swagger coach.”

6:45 Gaga is dressed like a futuristic Glinda the Good Witch. It is amazing.

Reminder, Crew: Sadie will be constantly updating the front page with red carpet pics as they come in, so keep checking for the most current snap judgments!

6:40: Do you think Jay is kind of pissed that silver hair is really trendy now?

6:39 Weirdest red carpet comment thus far: “With all respect to Taco Bell, it’s not that kind of Mexican food.”- Carlos Santana, discussing his Mexican restaurant

6:37 OMG GAGA! She looks like she’s wearing a million hula hoops! Like it was designed by the Doozers from Fraggle Rock! I LOVE IT! “It’s verrrry short in the front,” Guiliana notes, “Does she know that?” Uh, yeah. I think she’s aware.

6:34 The Situation is in the Glam Cam. The Situation’s entire life is a Glam Cam. And what is UP with Jay Manuel’s insistence that the dudes can have fun in the stupid contraption, but the ladies have to keep it classy? IT’S NOT A CLASSY THING, DUDE. IT’S A 360 CAMERA ON E!

6:32 Remember when your “hip” uncle “discovered” The Strokes in like, 2006? That’s sort of the equivalent of Guiliana talking to MGMT right now. Nice outfits, dudes.

6:30:BTW: Taylor Swift won a Grammy earlier tonight, and Lady Gaga, according to Twitter, has already won two.

6:28: Evangeline Lilly is on a L’Oreal hair commercial, telling us “I’m just like you.” My boyfriend just yelled back at the TV: “You’re not like me, Kate! You’re a murderer!” He’s a bit excited about LOST.

6:26: Brad and Angelina are still together, because this guy saw them together last night, so case closed, Encyclopedia Brown. This guy also heard something about Ferris Bueller last night at 32 Flavors.

6:23: Kathy Griffin is being interviewed twice, and is proud that she’s in the real Grammys, and not the “Schmammys.”

6:17: Guiliana Rancic is taking this opportunity to get really serious about Kanye West, via Common. I kind of feel bad for her sometimes. Remember when Melissa Joan Hart wanted everyone to sign her yearbook in Can’t Hardly Wait? I feel like she grew up to be a correspondent for one of these shows. “These are precious memories, people! You’re supposed to cherish them forever!”

6:09 Common says he has a stylist, but then he puts his “umph” to it.

6:08…And American Idol continues it’s tradition of continually spotlighting people who have no chance of winning until the act gets old.

6:07: Seeing Kathy Griffin on the red carpet is actually depressing, as I’d much rather see her doing the commentary than Seacrest. Still: it’s kind of fun to see her be famous enough to be kind of above Seacrest in this situation, no?

6:06: OMG, how stupid is this E! Glam Cam 360?! I’d tell you to drink every time it shows up, but you’d be drunk by 6:30, and with many more spinning shots of actresses cringing in the Glam Cam to come, that would be bad news, bears.

6:05: I don’t watch Glee (I know! I know!) but Lea Michelle is gorgeous, and so is her dress.

6:05:: Guiliana wants to know if it’s hard for Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer to keep it real and find real friends, now that they’re famous. They are totally making fun of her to her face, and I’m not sure she knows it.

6:04:Jay Manuel is not impressed with how the ladies are posing in the ridiculous 360 glam cam. It’s totally okay, however, for dudes to act out “their Matrix fantasies.”

6:01: Ryan Seacrest wants us to know that this is the “coolest red carpet on Earth.” He also wants us to know that musicians don’t do limos—they arrive in Suburbans.
