Rapper Kendrick Lamar performs during half time during 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game at Centennial Olympic Park on January 8, 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. As the lights went out, U2's Bono and The Edge briefly joined the Compton rapper before exiting as fireworks fell from the ceiling.

Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna picked up and early Grammy award for Best Rap/Sung Performance for their collaboration "Loyalty".

They were last nominated for best rock album for "Songs of Innocence", which became the center of controversy after it was automatically downloaded to millions of Apple devices.

While accepting her award, Cara said, "Holy cow, I'm shaking".

Along with the white roses, the Grammys will show support for the #MeToo movement on stage.

Cara, 21, stressed the importance of other talented young artists getting the same opportunities she did to break out in the music industry, even if their styles don't align with what's considered popular today.

As usual with the Grammys, the performances provided the highlights.

Before the performance, Maren Morris, Eric Church and Brothers Osborne performed an emotional rendition of Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" - written after his son died - in honour of the 58 people who died at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas past year. Several tributes are in place and the opening performance for the night will feature several artists, according to E!
