Let’s start right off the bat by saying Taylor Swift did not attend this year and I was already going into this red carpet/show disappointed. Either way, not super impressed with any of the looks and forced myself to be nice for a few that I would’ve absolutely dragged through the mud on a regular night.

WORST

Looks like Girl Crush (?) hit up the McD’s ball pit pre-show.

The most shocking thing about this outfit is that this is Bonnie McKee. I saw Bonnie open for Ryan Cabrera at my first concert sans parents. YIKES.

We get it, Tinashe, if you wear a criss cross bra it will push your boobs up to your eyebrows. Every girl learns that trick in like 8th grade.

Oh, alright. As if CeeLo doesn’t look terrifying enough as is, let’s toss a gold mask into the mix.

Real talk how is she preventing a nip slip here? Sweet silk cargo pj’s though.

Crazy Gaga is back and she’ll spike you with her sleeves if you talk about her bod.

Less is more when you have actual chains cutting into your skin.

WHAT is being channeled here? Also WHY is Margaret Cho at the Grammys?

Everything sucks about this. Sorry Celine. Sort of. (She bounced back with a much better dress for presenting)

Two completely different dresses in one.

Designed by Miss Frizzle.

Dear God please tell me we’re not making pink eyeshadow a thing. First Sophia, now Lea?! PINK EYE IS NOT TRENDY–ASK BOB COSTAS.

It pains me to do this but that studded jacket/silk shirt combo is so embarrassing.

I like the color of this but on principle cannot put Maren on my best dressed ever since she writhed all over Keith Urban in hot pants this summer. People don’t forget, Maren.

Chance the Rapper is really throwing some Erkel vibes.

Tori!!! No, girl.

BEST

Country’s most adorbs childhood sweethearts always kill the red carpet.

When you no longer have to match a bunch of duds for every red carpet>>>>>>>>>

Not always into the skinny tie but Ryan Tedder is looking fresh.

Baller AF.

James is WEARING that pastel.

Her performance dress was a billion trillion times hotter. But whatevs.

Royalty.

Katherine’s boobs look good. Facts only.

Chrissy looks MUCH better when she’s not trying to match her husband.

FIERCE.

Demi went a little too hard with the brown paint on her cleavage but otherwise looks like a bangpiece.

I wanted to hate this tbh, but she’s kinda werking it, so I’ll let it slide.

Speaking of werrrkkkk

We can almost see her lady curtains but at the same time I actually drooled over her legs. So here we are.

It didn’t photograph top notch, but Adele actually looked really good, and also props to her spray tanner who achieved the coveted bronzed look that is rare AF on red carpets. Plus she was overall queen of the eve, so claps for Adele and “Hello”, which now seems like its been out for no less than 10 years.
