MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Lady Gaga

Adele finally "had it all"! The "Rolling In The Deep" singer cemented her place in music history by walking home with six awards at the 2012 Grammys! And doesn't she just look right at home accepting all those awards? We think so. We also think you need to check out the rest of our favorite photos from the most memorable moments of the night in our MOST AWESOME 2012 GRAMMY PHOTOS!

We hadn't seen Rihanna and Katy Perry hanging out much as of late, but it looks like the two singers/BFFs just needed a good, old-fashioned award show to bring them together again. RiRi and Katy got pretty close while they were seated in the audience, and we don't think there's a dude in America who's mad at this photo.

Nicki Minaj arriving at the 2012 Grammys

We were all anxious to see what the 2012 Grammys would have in store after we heard of the tragic, shocking death of one of music's greatest legends, Whitney Houston. But as many of her peers suggested, Whitney would have wanted the show to go on. While there was a bit of a dark overtone to the Grammys, it wasn't without proper celebration and must-see moments.

From Nicki Minaj's pope sidekick to Katy Perry debuting her new single (and burning her old flame to the ground) to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl sticking up for old-time rock and roll, the 2012 Grammys had more than a few moments to remember. Take a look at the most-talked-about moments from the show below, and be sure to check out all of MTV's 2012 Grammy coverage for more information, a complete winners list and video highlights from the show.

+ Nicki Minaj arrived wearing that red thing with someone dressed like the pope: Definitely a daring move on the night after Whitney Houston passed away. I know they don't have anything to do with one another, but that kind of showy ostentation is usually frowned upon after such a tragic event.

+ Bruno Mars' splits on stage during his James Brown-inspired performance of "Runaway": Whoa, Bruno. Didn't know you could get down like that... literally.

+ Kelly Clarkson's continued reign of Supreme Flawlessness: The woman does no wrong, let's just face facts. Her performance of "Don't You Wanna Stay" with Jason Aldean was like, perfection. Objective perfection.

Lady Gaga lays one on Sir Paul McCartney at the 2012 Grammys

After the tragic and untimely passing of Whitney Houston, the mood was somber but celebratory at the 2012 Grammys. Adele won everything ever, Nicki Minaj made us all turn to each other asking "WTF?" (with her red carpet look and her performance) and Lady Gaga kissed Sir Paul McCartney on the cheek. Oh, Los Angeles! You guys are cray.

There was no egg arrival or flesh-colored latex number for Lady Gaga this year. Instead, the rather subdued "Born This Way" singer showed up with a net covering her entire body, and she walked around with a staff all night -- child's play, to be honest.

But Gaga also had the cojones to kiss Paul McCartney on the cheek, and he feels how we feel about the whole affair: 1.) It's like, "OMG LADY GAGA KISSED PAUL MCCARTNEY," but then 2.) it's like, "OMG HE'S NOT RUNNING AWAY." Well played, Gaga! There's only a handful of women out there who can say they've been photographed kissing a Beatle. Nice work.

Nicki Minaj, Adele and Katy Perry will perform at the 2012 Grammys.

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards are this Sunday, people, and we hope you'll be keeping up with every last detail of the show like we will (with a livestream, duh). With performances by Chris Brown, Katy Perry, and Coldplay with Rihanna, to name a few, this year's show is probably going to get some trending topics going.

And while we know Adele's going to slay everyone during her performance, and Lady Gaga will obviously be wearing something wild and crazy, we're having more fun thinking about the things we really want to see go down that probably won't. For instance, Taylor Swift showing up in a sparkle-free ensemble?! Or our first glimpse of Blue Ivy Carter?! Not very likely, but let a girl dream, will ya?

10 Things We Want To See At The Grammys (That Probably Won't Happen)

1.) Katy Perry and Russell Brand reconcile. -- Katy Perry throws a curve ball and performs a cover of the "Aladdin" classic "A Whole New World" alongside soon-to-be ex-husband Russell Brand. They kiss and make up at the end of the song; the world's equilibrium is restored.

2.) Blue Ivy Carter debuts her first song. -- Despite her lack of motor skills, we learn that Blue Ivy's been slaving away in the studio on her debut single. It will break all iTunes records ever recorded.

3.) Adele is photographed smiling. -- You don't get that good at brooding without a lot of practice. Don't get us wrong, Adele's our pretend girlfriend, but we'd love to see a candid pic of the "Someone Like You" singer having a really good time.

Lady Gaga goes big or goes home so it makes perfect sense that the stage design for her forthcoming "Born This Way" ball is BEYOND epic. To get her Little Monsters pumped (um, aren't they always?), Mother Monster tweeted: "THE BORN THIS WAY BALL 2012-2013" along with a black-and-white sketch of the stage design. (Peep it after the jump.) The fantastical dark and gothic set kind of reminds me of Edward Scissorhands' house, plopped right in the middle of thousands of screaming fans.

Gaga's new stage also boasts something she's calling the "Monster Pit." Gaga explained: "To give you a bit of insight on the design of my new tour, the central area within the stage will be known as 'The Monster Pit.'"

Lady Gaga as photographed by Terry Richardson

We haven't seen Lady Gaga out and about too much lately, but maybe that's because she's busy looking FIERCE AS HELL. Daaaamn, girl, don't hurt 'em! Gaga took to Twitter to update her fans on what she's been up to, including helping her parents ready their new Manhattan restaurant, putting together a new tour stage and sharing this photo of herself by fame photog Terry Richardson -- just in case, you know, her fans forget that she was THA QUEEN.

Besides all of those arduous tasks, Gaga's also been staying occupied with the launch of her Born This Way Foundation. Founded alongside her mother, the Born This Way Foundation was "created to promote youth empowerment and equality by encouraging self-confidence and well-being and bringing bullying to an end." Her to-do list is this full yet she's still finding the time to focus on the important things in life: asking Twitter what her next tattoo should be. Never change, Gaga. Never change.

You guys know we're big, big fans of Taylor Swift here at Buzzworthy. Not only is the girl a super-talented singer and songwriter, but she disses guys publicly with her lyrics (we always love a lady with cojones), and she's genuinely so grateful for her success. She's so grateful that she can't even believe she has it, as the 1 million-plus photos (and LOL-y video) of her making shocked and surprised faces on the internet will prove.

To celebrate the hilarity and adorableness that come along with a good, old-fashioned Taylor Swift Surprised Face, we put together a photo gallery of our favorite pop stars imitating the "You Belong With Me" singer. OK, they're not technically imitating her in these photos, but when you put them all together in a photo gallery and call it POP STARS MAKING TAYLOR SWIFT FACES, it sure looks like that, doesn't it? Solid logic right there, folks.

Leave it to Queen Beyoncé to turn looking surprised into a dance move. Bey "pats her weave" as she leaves a restaurant in 2010, and the surprise of the paparazzi doesn't even faze her. Yeezy taught her well.
