Last night’s Grammys were a snooze compared to past years. There were a few standout moments, especially the duet between Hozier and Annie Lennox (although I am so sick of “Take Me To Church,” sorry Kaiser). I also really liked the Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige duet, but overall there were a lot of slow songs and uninteresting songs. Plus Sam Smith and Beck pretty much swept everything. Kaiser already did our Grammys wrapup post. This is just my rambling introduction to Miranda Lambert’s performance of “Little Red Wagon.” Maybe I don’t keep up with current music enough (true) but this is the first time I can remember hearing this song. (In my defense it only came out as a single last month.) Theoretically I should have been impressed because it was an energetic performance of one of the few rocking songs of the night. It was a fun performance, but I couldn’t get past the fact that it’s a freaking children’s nursery song. What’s next, “Ring Around the Rosie,” “Wheels On The Bus”?

Here’s Lambert’s performance. I wonder what she said that got cut out.

Miranda also won Best Country Album, for Platinum. This is her second Grammy. She previously won Best Female Country Vocal Performance for “The House that Built Me,” in 2010. Oh and Miranda wore a black Gabriela Cadena cutout gown on the red carpet. It’s a flattering dress and I like the fuchsia detail at the neck, but it’s not that interesting. She changed into a deep v-neck Sachin & Babi gown with a foil-look overlay after her performance. I kind of wish she wore the Sachin & Babi on the red carpet, it’s a better dress and is much more interesting.

Presenter Gina Rodriguez was in a tight white Christos Costarellos dress with green details. I saw people trashing this on Twitter, but I really liked this gown. Gina introduced Juanes singing “Juntos”. She seemed a little nervous but she recovered quickly.

I’m including some pics at the end here of Courteney Cox and Pauley Perrette, both in short black sequin gowns. Courteney is wearing Marc Jacobs and I don’t have an ID on Pauley’s dress. Both of these ladies need better shoes. Pauley introduced the Grammys music educator award, which went to a man named Jared Cassedy. That segment was really nice. Also, you can tell from Pauley’s Twitter that she had a great time. She took selfies with everyone!
