Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter

Taylor Swift and Cynthia Erivo are sitting next to each other tonight, which has already prompted some references to the infamous "Holding Space for the Lyrics to 'Defying Gravity'" meme.

Swift was seen holding Erivo's finger, a nod to the moment that was sparked by Ariana Grande and Erivo during their "Wicked" press tour.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan brings the show back from commercial... because Travor Noah got traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

That's a poke at the blockbuster trade from early this morning sending NBA superstart Luka Doncic from the Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Doechii is officially a Grammy-winner!

The first-time nominee took home the award for best rap album for her record “Alligator Bites Never Heal.”

"This category was introduced in 1989 and three women have won, Lauryn Hill, Cardi B and Doechii. I put my heart and my soul into this mixtape,” she said through tears during her acceptance speech.

"I know there are so many Black girls watching me. I want to tell you anything is possible," she said. "I am a testimony."

"Now I should mention to all potential winners, you can speak for as long as you want tonight. We're not going to cut you off," Noah said. "But if you take anything over 90 seconds, we will be charging you $1,000 a second for the great causes that we're raising money for tonight."

It's unclear if Noah was joking, but awards shows — including the Grammys' own premiere show earlier today — notoriously run late.

Dressed in a black glittering suit and tie look, Carpenter kicked off her performance, with a stilted and messy version of her mega-hit "Espresso."

When that wasn't working for her, she peeled off the more formal look for a scandalous and frilly light blue leotard that's way more in line with her typical style.

With the outfit changed, Carpenter launched into a mashup of the normal version of "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," two hits off of "Short n' Sweet."

The light blue set featured a sprawling staircase and what appeared to be a small house that fell apart during "Please Please Please" before Carpenter returned to "Espresso."

Unfortunately, she did not offer any "Juno" positions on stage. This is Network TV, after all. Carpenter is nominated in all four of the biggest categories of the night, and she already snagged two awards at the premiere ceremony.

Noah said many of this year's commercial slots will go to local L.A. businesses "who have been hit hardest by the disaster." An ad for a local floral studio played shortly after.

Commercials are often a big form of income for the Grammys, he said, showcasing a new way the show is offering wildfire relief.

Noah closed his opening monologue by asking viewers to scan the QR code on their screen to make a donation to the Music Cares Fire Relief fund.

"Direct Relief is providing critical support to residents, first responders and local health centers," he said.

He implored viewers, attendees and sponsors to donate money.

"We're asking everyone here to give as much as you can, and as generously as you can," he said.

He specifically called out the host network, CBS: "You got that equalizer money. Come on, do something," he said.
