Breaking down the moments that exploded on Twitter during music's biggest night.
The 60th Annual Grammy Awards were sort of a snooze fest, but there were at least a few entertaining moments that Twitter picked up on from Madison Square Garden Sunday night.
From John Legend trying to show up Tony Bennett to SZA's Best New Artist snub, Twitter found a lot to complain about.
Here are the six times Twitter freaked out during the Grammys.
Lil Uzi Vert Apparently Loves Pop-Tarts
Although Lil Uzi Vert was nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best New Artist, the rapper only showed a hint of excitement when E! News asked him what was next on his agenda.
"Waking up. Eat some Pop-Tarts," he said.

Cardi B Talked About Her Vagina on the Red Carpet
Cardi B had butterflies in strange places and wasn't afraid to tell E! News exactly where she was feeling them.
"I feel it all, oooo, butterflies in my stomach and vagina," she said on live television.
When are people going to figure out that Cardi B isn’t afraid to say how she feels 😂#GRAMMYs

Cardi B just said she has “butterflies in her stomach and vagina,” which sound like side-effects they'd list in one of those drug commercials. #GRAMMYs

John Legend's Vocal Range
John Legend joined Tony Bennett on stage to reveal the winner for Best Rap Performance, blessing the entire audience with an impromptu performance of "New York."
But mid-song Twitter noticed Legend started to belt louder than Bennett and began wondering he he felt the need to show up the 91-year-old singer.
why is john legend purposely showing up tony bennett? #GRAMMYs

Best New Artist
Alessia Cara may have won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, but Twitter thought the award should have gone to SZA.
Some fans protested the win for talent reasons alone, while others argued that Cara has been around the music industry for too many years to even be placed in this category.
I can't finish the Grammys after hearing who best new artist was. IM FUCKING DONE
— Shannade Clermont (@ShannadeJenee) January 29, 2018
So y’all really gonna give Alessia the “Best New Artist Award” and not SZA #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/0YKS16lYTx

Alessia Cara winning Best New Artist over Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert and SZA is pretty much everything that's wrong with the #Grammys.
— Cavi (@ProducerCavi) January 29, 2018
So Alessia Cara won Best New Artist? Will she stay a new artist forever? I mean she in the industry like 3 years now but whatever! #GRAMMYs

"Shape of You" Win
Ed Sheeran was the only male nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and ended up taking home the award amid the MeToo movement currently flooding Hollywood.
The 26-year-old artist was up against Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, P!NK and Kesha, whose "Praying" many believed should have won.
"Shape of You"? Really? Over those powerful women creating meaningful work? Over Kesha's soul bearing, reintroduction to the industry after all that she's been through? Okay sure. The Grammy for toxic masculinity should really go to a low/high key misogynist. #GRAMMYs
— Brown Girl (@BloggingBrown) January 29, 2018
Every single women was just robbed by @edsheeran right there. Shape of You is good, but not his best. Those were career best songs for those women. #GRAMMYs
— Dina Sartore-Bodo (@DeeBodes22) January 29, 2018
Ed Sheeran knew he shouldn't have won so he didn't show. #KeshaWasRobbed #GRAMMYs
— Brian Particelli (@BrianParticelli) January 29, 2018
I honestly love ed Sheeran. I really do but...
— Marc Malkin (@marcmalkin) January 29, 2018
A category with so much talent.. Kelly, Gaga, Kesha, Pink... and SHAPE OF YOU WON? What the actual hell?

Kesha's Moving Performance
The 30-year-old singer belted out her hit "Praying" with a backing group of Cyndi Lauper, Camila Cabello, Andrea Day, Bebe Rexha and Julia Michaels. The song, an anthem about surviving sexual abuse, was the #MeToo moment of the night.

Yes Kesha! I'm here with you girl! Sing it! #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/fgG2UGtPyN
— Kin The Rex (@KindesaurusRex) January 29, 2018
It’s dope to see Kesha’s comeback, especially after how so many tried to get her outta here after the sexual assault case. #GRAMMYs
— ronald isley (@yoyotrav) January 29, 2018
To do what Kesha just did on this stage with that song is nothing less than remarkable. MSG was as quiet as I’ve ever heard it.
