Your Guide to the 2015 Grammys Red Carpet

While the Oscars are usually focused on ultra elegant looks, the Grammys are typically an affair where folks are much more open to taking fashion risks. After all, what else would you expect when Rihanna and Lady Gaga are both in attendance. However, this year the red carpet fashion seemed to shy away from theatrics. Black, white and silver were undoubtedly the most popular colors, with more vibrant shades of blue showing up on Iggy Azalea and Taylor Swift. Even Miley Cyrus, who’s usually never one to shy away from making a statement, showed up in a sleek black gown with side cut-outs. The fashion was certainly more conservative this year than it has been in the past, but we were anything but bored. Here are some looks we’ll be drooling over for the next few weeks.

1. Kelly Osborne: We’re guessing the rest of the fashion police team are going to give this curve-hugging, polka-dotted number two giant thumbs up. And can we just talk about that puffer fish clutch for a second? (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

2. Kim Kardashian: Where do we even begin? Everything from the new lob to the ultra (and we mean ultra) glam dress is so very well… Kim Kardashian.

3. Jessie J: The British pop star showed a little leg while still keeping things totally classy in this sheer number. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

4. Madonna: Sorry, Madonna is how old? You’d never know it by the looks of this number. She takes us back to her “Like a Virgin” days in this edgy, figure-hugging leotard. (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

5. Charlie XCX: We’re getting some Dumb and Dumber vibes from Charlie XCX’s white tuxedo, but we mean that in the best way possible. If anyone’s going to rock a pink bowtie and furry shawl it’s going to be her. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

6. Gwen Stefani: Gwen kept things cool and semi-casual this year in a beautifully constructed jumpsuit. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

7. HAIM: Well folks, it looks like it’s official, HAIM is kind of the coolest sister band ever. The trio, who recently returned from a trip the Hawaii with Taylor Swift, are looking cool as ever in sleek black and white outfits. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

8. Ariana Grande: We’re getting a little Kim K realness from Ariana Grande’s Grecian inspired dress. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

9. Lisa Harriton: If Rifle Paper Co. ventured into red carpet fashion, we’re guessing it would look a whole lot like this floral dress, singer-songwriter, Lisa Harriton is sporting. (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

10. Sia and Maddie Ziegler: Sia brought along 12-year-old Maddie Zeigler, the lead dancer in her much chatted about music video “Chandelier” to this year’s Grammys, and turned heads in matching suits + oversized wigs, of course. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

11. Katy Perry: After performing at last weekend’s Super Bowl, we think it’s safe to say that Katy Perry is having a pretty epic couple of weeks. Surprisingly, she kept her ensemble on the tame side this year in a crystal dress and curled lavender locks. (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

12. Kat Graham: If you had any doubt that long sleeves could be sexy, Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham’s black and white stunning ball gown should quickly wash away any and all apprehensions. (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

13. Nicki Minaj: Nicki kept things relatively conservative (by Nicki’s standards) in this sequined and fringed black dress. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

14. Taylor Swift: Amongst a sea of black and white, T. Swift shined in this epic blue gown. (image via Jason Merritt)

15. Rita Ora: British pop star, Rita Ora strutted her stuff in this long-sleeved number that resembled Katy Perry’s crystal dress, but with a bit more sparkle and drama. (image via Jason Merritt/Getty)

16. Beyoncé: Bey kept things clean and classy and showed off those trademark curves in this black embellished gown. (via Jason Merritt)

17. Miley Cyrus: Is 2015 the year of the new Miley? The pop star left all of her Lisa Frank-inspired outfits at home and debuted a totally grown-up look in this minimal black gown and slicked back hair. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

18. Lady Gaga: No meat dress here. Lady Gaga ditched the theatrics and instead is looking kind of like the coolest mermaid ever. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

19. Iggy Azalea: Well it looks like if you’re not down for black or white, the color to wear to the 2015 Grammys is definitely blue. Iggy rocked the red carpet in this cut-out dress complete with an epic braided crown. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

20. Jennifer Hudson: Jennifer took it back to the ’90s in this white tube top dress, crystal choker and strappy heels. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

21. Rihanna: Whoa. We sure hope she has two seats for that dress. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

22. Bonnie McKee: Singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee looks stunning in this marsala-colored dress. The vampy, matching lips definitely amp up the drama factor, without looking too overpowering. (via Jason Merritt/Getty)

23. Elton Castee: We’ve grown accustomed to spotting shorts on the red carpet, but striped leg hair? Not so much. Looks like Vine star Elton Castee may have just spearheaded a whole new trend. (image via Larry Busacca/Getty)

Amid the devastation of the LA fires, neighbors opening their homes to one another (like Hilary Duff housing Mandy Moore), internet users have found a new way to support people who have lost everything by streaming their old songs. When Heidi Montag's 2010 album Superficial hit #1 on iTunes, generating income for the popstar and her family, Gossip Girl fans called for another celebrity to get the same treatment: Leighton Meester (AKA Blair Waldorf) after she lost her home with husband Adam Brody.

Yep, in case you didn't know, Leighton Meester wasn't just an actress during her Gossip Girl days, she was also a singer! In addition to her role in Country Strong (which gave us the MASTERPIECE "Words I Couldn't Say"), Gossip Girl featured some of her music, like when the season 3 finale featured “Your Love's a Drug.”

Here's how fans are resurfacing Leighton Meester's old music right now!

Leighton Meester's fans include none other than Flavor Flav.

Stream @LeightonMeester Somebody to Love and use the song in yo TikTok’s 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hip-hop artist Flavor Flav posted his support of Leighton Meester's "Somebody To Love" on TikTok on January 15. "Starting to hype up my girl Leighton Meester and help her family recover from the fire," he says in the onscreen text. And he's not the only one who loves her music, because fans started flooding his comments with their favorite songs.

"Good Girls Go Bad still goes triple platinum in my house annually," one user commented, while another added, "Stream Heartstrings by Leighton Meester too."

A third TikTok user ended up offering their own (phenomenal) idea when they said, "Can someone put together a LA fire playlist (philanthropy edition) so I can stream it all week?" Literally let's do it. I'm listening to the songs over and over anyway.

And the best part is that Rolling Stone reports that Heartstrings is now at 21 on iTunes!

Leighton Meester released some incredible music in the '00s and '10s.

Leighton Meester changed lives when she was a feature on Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Gone Bad" in July of 2009. This is quite literally one of the best pop songs of the decade — I never get tired of listening to it.

And she has some incredible features on her discography.

Leighton Meester follows up "Good Girls Gone Bad" with a song alongside Robin Thicke in a very steamy music video that Gossip Girl would definitely be writing about.

And in 2014, Leighton Meester released a full-length album called Heartstrings, which includes this title track. It's a little country, it's a little pop, and it's very addictive. It feels totally different than the Blair Waldorf vibe we'd come to associate Leighton with, and it's like a breath of fresh air.

Here's the full Heartstrings tracklist!

  1. Heartstrings
  2. Run Away
  3. Good for One Thing
  4. Sweet
  5. On My Side
  6. LA
  7. Dreaming
  8. Blue Afternoon
  9. Entitled

If you need me for the next few weeks, I'll be listening to all of Leighton Meester's music on repeat. Check out the latest news on Adam Brody & Leighton Meester's New TV Show Good Cop/Bad Cop.

Taylor Swift has been teasing Reputation (Taylor's Version) for two years — or, at least, Swifties have been clowning over it for two years. When Tay showed up to the 2022 VMAs in a "Look What You Made Me Do"-inspired outfit, fans expected her to drop the first Rep (TV) single, but she announced Midnights instead. And history repeated itself at the 2024 Grammys, when Taylor showed up in black & white before announcing The Tortured Poets Department.

Even though some fans feel confused, NOT getting Reputation (Taylor's Version) in 2024 totally goes with the "2 re-recordings one year, 1 new album the next" pattern we've seen since 2021. But there's one huge Easter egg that's been pointing us to 2025 all along: it's the Year of the Snake.

Here's the one major Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date Easter egg that suggests Taylor Swift could drop it in 2025.

When is Reputation (Taylor's Version) coming out?

Let it be known we still don't have an official Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date yet, but after the "I Can See You" music video featured the number 2.16 (February 16), everyone eagerly awaited February 2024 with baited breath...only to receive nothing. But now I've turned my eyes to February 16, 2025 because DUH, releasing Reputation (TV) during the Year of the Snake (the icon associated with the entire 2.5-year era) makes more sense than anything.

"Some of us have been saying this since like 2022," one TikTok user jokes, while another rationalizes, "We had fearless, red in 2021 then speak now, 1989 in 2023 so reputation and debut in 2025."

The Year of the Snake officially kicks off January 29, meaning we could be in for a late-January announcement, but some fans think Taylor will announce the album on New Year's Day 2025 in honor of the closing track on the album. In my opinion, it makes total sense to get Reputation (TV) for the first half of the year, and to wrap up the re-recording era with Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) for the second half of the year before transitioning to her new movie (and a potential TS12, of course).

Will there be a Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

Yes, we're getting a Reputation (Taylor's Version)! Taylor Swift announced she'd be re-recording all of the albums leading up to Lover after she was unable to buy the rights to her music. In addition to more modern versions of all our favorite Taylor Swift songs, she's also added brand new tunes (called "From the Vault" tracks) as bonus songs for each album. Tracks like "When Emma Falls In Love (Taylor's Version)", "Timeless (Taylor's Version)", and "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)" quickly became fan favorites!

Reputation has always been my favorite Taylor Swift album, and I can't wait to see what kind of vault tracks we get. At its core, Rep is a love album that also address fear and hope, and Reputation (TV) is going to be the one re-recording you won't want to miss.

Rice, who?! This ancient grain is a powerhouse of fiber, protein, and magnesium. Its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it perfect for salads or side dishes!

Jurassic World: Rebirth is hitting theaters this summer and I cannot stop thinking about how good Jonathan Bailey looks. The Bridgerton actor stars as paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis alongside Scarlett Johansson's Zora and Mahershala Ali's Duncan Kincaid. Together, the team is tasked with getting DNA samples after the world has become inhospitable to dinosaurs. But, naturally, all the internet can talk about is Jonathan Bailey. (Relatable).

Here's your first look at Jonathan Bailey in Jurassic World: Rebirth.

Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson team up for a brand new mission.

In the latest image, Scarlett Johansson looks on while Jonathan Bailey examines what looks like an egg from a giant nest. And considering these two are finding DNA samples from three giant land, sea, and air creatures, it's safe to assume a dinosaur isn't far off.

While revealing the image on The Today Show, Scarlett couldn't help but gush over her costar. "How cute is Jonathan Bailey? He's the best person, he's a dreamboat," she says. "Does he love you too? He has those kind of eyes...He's the best!"

Jasin Boland/Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment

I already know that ScarJo and Jonny Bailey are going to make the ultimate team. But social media's favorite part of this whole movie is Jonathan's glasses.

"I can’t believe we’re getting a Jurassic Park movie with Jonathan Bailey in slutty glasses," one X user said. "The T Rex doesn’t stand a chance."

Oh what I wouldn't give to have Jonathan Bailey gaze into my eyes while working to save the world.

Jasin Boland/Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment

And nobody is going to kick butt like Mahershala Ali. I'd trust this man with my life.
