Inside the 2018 GRAMMYs: Moments you didn't see on TV

Updated

The 2018 GRAMMY Awards produced more than a few buzzy moments on Sunday night that had everyone talking. From Blue Ivy telling mom Beyoncé to hush, to Miley Cyrus and Elton John's stirring "Tiny Dancer" performance and Bruno Mars' sweep of the night's three biggest categories, the 60th Annual GRAMMYs was certainly a show to remember.

But from AOL Entertainment's perch inside Madison Square Garden, there were also plenty of moments that weren't shown on television. Here are our favorite moments we saw from inside the 2018 GRAMMY Awards:

Chrissy Teigen freaks out over Dave Chappelle, Luis Fonsi and more: The expectant mother and husband John Legend had some of the most prime seats in the house, which put Teigen's excitement on full display. When Dave Chappelle took the stage during Kendrick Lamar's opening performance, she totally freaked out. Later, when Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee took the stage to perform "Despacito," she got even more excited. One moment she wasn't that interested in? Little Big Town's performance of "Better Man," during which she checked her phone for the majority of the time. Teigen and Legend left the show with over an hour left.

What the GRAMMYs executive producer says "every year" before the show starts: Longtime executive producer of the GRAMMY Awards Ken Ehrlich took the stage minutes before the show went live to establish some ground rules for the show. "I'm gonna say what I say every year," he told the audience as they got settled. "Sit down and take your seats. We're about four minutes from air!" Before leaving the stage, he added that "this show reflects what's going on in the world" -- though, with only one woman taking home an award over the subsequent three and a half hours, we're not so sure about that.

Sam Smith and boyfriend Brandon Fynn leave hand-in-hand: After delivering a powerful performance of "Pray" (before which we saw him nervously pacing behind a partition), Sam Smith joined the audience with his boyfriend Brandon Flynn. The couple later left the show hand-in-hand, but not before Lorde stopped Smith to chat during a commercial break and pose for a photo together!

Lorde and Jack Antonoff walk in together as her song "Sober" plays: The singer, who was the only woman nominated for Album of the Year this year, attended the show with Antonoff, who executive produced Melodrama. The pair stepped out together after Antonoff shut down speculation that he left ex Lena Dunham to pursue a relationship with Lorde. Later in the show, they took a selfie together during a commercial break.

Lady Gaga makes the rounds during the commercial breaks: Lady Gaga was a popular guest to chat as stars mingled at the front of the house during commercial breaks. The singer, whose "Million Reasons" performance garnered major applause, hugged JAY-Z before chatting with Jerry Seinfeld and Lorde. We saw Cyndi Lauper run up about 10 rows to catch Gaga before she exited the arena later on.

Khalid makes sure to say "hi" to Miley Cyrus: The Best New Artist nominee made sure to get some face time in with Miley Cyrus before she went backstage with her mom, Tish Cyrus, ahead of her performance with Elton John. The two had a quick, friendly chat before the announcer urged the audience to return to their seats.

Beyoncé arrives late with daughter Blue Ivy: The buzz around Madison Square Garden during the first third of the show was pretty much universal: "Where is Beyoncé?" The singer had been a fixture at pre-GRAMMYs events and husband JAY-Z was front and center in the front row next to a few seat fillers. Beyoncé quietly showed up with daughter, Blue Ivy, wearing a fascinator and teeny shades. During commercial breaks, countless people came up to her to greet her, but she never got out of her seat to go say "hi" to anyone else. A queen never leaves her throne!

Blue Ivy was the most popular girl in the room: The de facto First Daughter of Music was visited by Alicia Keys, who knelt down to talk to Blue during a commercial break for nearly five minutes. At another point, Diddy tapped Blue on the shoulder from his seat in the second row to make a joke (that probably had her rolling her eyes -- but we couldn't see that far). During another moment, Beyoncé pulled (what appeared to be) a white rose from her clutch to give to Blue Ivy to examine.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend waited to greet Beyoncé and JAY-Z until they left: Interestingly, the couples were seated just feet away from one another in the front row, but they didn't interact until Chrissy and John got up from their seats to leave the show about an hour after Beyoncé arrived. Their interaction lasted about 10 seconds -- Bey and Jay stood up to hug them -- before Chrissy and John exited the floor.

Pink gave her daughter a piggyback ride: Pink's date for the night was her daughter, Willow Sage, and we saw the adorable mother-daughter duo walking back to their seats with Willow on Pink's back.

Diddy had something hilarious on his phone: Just before the Route 91 tribute performance, the rap mogul tapped Beyoncé on the shoulder to show her something on his phone. She took the phone, laughed and then handed it to husband JAY-Z, who also found whatever was on Diddy's cell phone hilarious. Maybe it was Blue Ivy's side-eye moment, which immediately went viral during the show?

The night's biggest applause was reserved for Hillary Clinton: The former presidential nominee made a surprise appearance during the show in a pre-taped segment during which celebrities read excerpts from Fire & Fury. The star-studded crowd went WILD for Clinton when she showed up on the screen.
