The Grammys awards ceremony on Sunday (2 February) saw a whole bunch of red carpet drama, outfit chaos and some very notable celebrity interactions.
One of which saw 23-year-old Billie Eilish react to Beyoncé, 43, taking home the coveted Album of the Year accolade for Cowboy Carter.
While Billie was nominated in six other categories, she and her older brother Finneas - who she regularly collaborates with - sadly didn't take home any accolades.

Since then, 27-year-old Finneas has shared an urgent plea to their fans following the loss which saw his younger sister in tears.
The songwriter took to Instagram following the ceremony to share a short message to his 4.4 million followers.
"Great Grammys!!!" he posted on his story before adding: "So honoured to have been nominated amongst so many amazing songs / albums."
He continued: "I don't wanna see ANYONE with a photo of me or Billie as their PFP gettin' in fights with other artists' fans in comment sections!!!"
Finneas rounded off: "Be at peace! Congratulations to all!!"
Now, while many fans thought that Billie's emotional reaction to Beyoncé's win was because of the heartbreaking loss, a body language expert has actually offered a different interpretation.
Speaking exclusively to Betfair Slots, Darren Stanton said: "In terms of Billie Eilish’s reaction, some people may have thought that she was crying because she didn’t win but I think they were genuine tears of elation and pride that Beyoncé had won."
He added: "For most of the stars of this new younger generation, Beyoncé is their icon - the biggest pop star of their childhood.
"Billie obviously has that empathy with Beyoncé."
The expert believed that instead, the tears were of 'joy' for Beyoncé that she had finally won the Album of the Year award.
"You could see in her eyes in the close-up that there were no signs of sadness despite the fact she was crying," he said. "It was a clear look of admiration and pride."
Beyoncé's latest wins sees her remain the greatest Grammy award-winner of all time, with a staggering 35 awards won throughout her decade-spanning career, which is more than any artist in history since the ceremony first started decades ago back in 1959.
However, the artist who took home the most awards at Sunday's ceremony was none other than Kendrick Lamar, who walked away as the biggest winner with five trophies including Record of The Year and Song Of The Year for 'Not Like Us'.
Lamar also cinched the award for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song the same track - which also won Best Music Video.
