Here are the five most memorable moments of the 58th edition of the awards show on Monday:

1. Taylor Swift shames Kanye West in Grammy acceptance speech
Swift wanted fans and her fellow celebrities to know that she's not afraid to speak out. As the music mogul stepped up to the podium, she conspicuously let West know her feelings about Kanye's test song "Famous," where West refers to Swift with the statement, "I made that (expletive) famous." Whether Kanye actually experiences the emotion we call shame is another question.
