Still not over the 2020 Grammys<\/a>? We’re with you!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards brought the biggest names in music together under one roof for a night of epic celebrations<\/a>. Featuring some history-making moments<\/a> from first-time nominee Billie Eilish<\/a><\/strong> and tons of head-turning red carpet moments<\/a>, this year’s Grammys were easily one for the books.  <\/p>\n

And, of course, it’s not the Grammys without some memorable performances. Nominees Lizzo<\/a><\/strong>, Ariana Grande<\/a><\/strong>, Tyler the Creator<\/strong>, Jonas Brothers<\/a><\/strong>, Camila Cabello<\/a><\/strong> and more each took the stage to deliver high-energy renditions of their hit songs, leaving us speechless and glued to our screens.<\/p>\n

It was also a night of moving movements. Starting the night off with an emotional tribute<\/a> to Kobe Bryant<\/a><\/strong>, Usher<\/a><\/strong> and FKA twigs<\/a><\/strong> joined forces for an electrifying Prince<\/a><\/strong> medley to honor the late singer<\/a>. Nipsey Hussle<\/strong> was also celebrated with a star-studded tribute<\/a> led by John Legend<\/a><\/strong> and DJ Khaled<\/a><\/strong>.  For her return to the Grammys stage, Demi Lovato<\/a><\/strong> held back tears as she delivered a powerful performance<\/a> of her new song “Anyone,” which was written days before her near-fatal overdose in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

But alas, not everyone could make it to last night’s show. From last-minute schedule changes and rigid travel plans, here are some of the A-listers that were noticeably missing from all the Grammys action and excitement. <\/p>\n

Find out why they couldn’t make it below: <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
