Singer couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce, raised the curtain from the Grammy 2014 night with their steamy performance on Beyonce's hit song, Drunk in Love. Rapper Jay-Z, who topped the 56th Grammy nominations with nine, earned his Grammy for Best Rap Sung/Collaboration for the song, Holy Grail featuring Justin Timberlake.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr gave a special performance after accepting their long-overdue Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the Beatles at a special pre-Grammy Special Merit Award ceremony.
"It's a Lifetime Achievement Award but I happen to think we've got a lot more life left in us," Starr said as he accepted the award.
