If something about this year’s Grammys felt a little different than usual, it was probably the refreshing lack of messiness.

Yep, you heard that right. While Grammys of the past have been filled with public callouts and drama, this year’s ceremony was a total lovefest packed with adorable interactions, reconciliations, and some seriously overdue wins (Beyoncé, I’m talking about you).
The winners were happy. The losers were happy. It was great for literally everyone. Maybe except Drake, but that’s a different story.
