The 66th annual Grammy Awards took place at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, where women reigned supreme on music's biggest night.

Taylor Swift made history, taking home Album of the Year for Midnights, her fourth win in the category. Miley Cyrus brought down the house with her performance of "Flowers," two hours before winning Record of the Year. Victoria Monét was crowned Best New Artist while Billie Eilish and Finneas's "What Was I Made For," from the Barbie soundtrack, won Song of the Year.

This year's Grammy Awards brought out several private artists for memorable moments onstage. Tracy Chapman made a rare appearance with Luke Combs to perform "Fast Car." At age 80, Joni Mitchell performed for the first time at the Grammys with an emotional rendition of "Both Sides Now." Plus, Celine Dion's surprise appearance as she battles stiff-person syndrome brought the starry crowd to its feet.

    Celine Dion appeared as a surprise presenter for the final award of the night.

    In 2022, Dion was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms. A documentary about her experience with the condition is currently in the works.

    "When I say that I'm happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart," Dion said to thunderous applause. Diana Ross and Sting presented her with the Album of the Year award 27 years ago.
