The 66th Grammy Awards strangely went off without a hitch.

It's the biggest night of the year for the music industry and to our surprise, it was mostly just an evening dedicated to powerful performances, major announcements and thrilling speeches.

Watch the moment Lizzo hands SZA her Grammy Award for Best R&B Song. Post continues after video.

While most of the action happened on the main stage during the ceremony broadcast (you can read our recap of the biggest moments from the night here) there were plenty of interesting moments happening away from the cameras.

Here are the most interesting Grammy moments that happened away from the main stage.

Kylie Minogue celebrated her Grammy win in a bathrobe.

The Australian pop star picked up her second Grammy Award this year, but as the winner of her category was announced ahead of the televised ceremony, the news of her win was shared in a slightly different way.

After finding out that she had won Best Pop Dance Recording for her 2023 song 'Padam Padam' Minogue shared a video where she can be seen screaming and dancing around her hotel room in a bathrobe as someone tells her the news.

It didn't happen at the ceremony, but it was still one of the best acceptance speeches of the night.

A triple award winner was escorted from the room in handcuffs.

ICYMI, a popular rapper, who won three Grammys during the pre-televised portion of the ceremony, was handcuffed and escorted by police out of the show.

Rapper Killer Mike was detained after a "physical altercation" at the venue where the Grammy Awards were held. A video clip of the performer leaving the show has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter).

An official tells someone on his team that it’s possible he may be released later tonight from the arena. Unclear if he’s being booked here and what he’s charged with. Trying to find out. #Grammys pic.twitter.com/undjtECFu1

Killer Mike won in all three of the categories he was nominated in, which included Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his track 'Scientists and Engineers' and Best Rap Album for 'Michael' his sixth studio album released in June 2023.

It marked his first Grammys win since 2003, when he was first nominated and won for his feature on OutKast’s 'The Whole World' in the Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group category.

Taylor Swift made two mysterious comments on the red carpet.

In footage obtained byE! NewsTaylor Swift can be seen walking away from her team and a line of photographers while calling out "Where's Lana?" down the red carpet before spotting Lana Del Ray making her way through the crowd.

Del Ray appeared distressed that her hair was wet, and in the video Swift can be seen pulling her aside and smoothing out her hair, telling her 'this is fixable.'

Talk about two girls being girls together, amirite?

In another clip, Swift can be seen speaking to her publicist Tree Paine, and asking, "Do you need to set my watch?"

Paine responds, "No, it’s already perfect. Midnight."

Fans theorised at the time that this information, coupled with her crimson lipstick and black-and-white aesthetic, foreshadowed aReputation (Taylor's Version)announcement.

Instead, fans got even more surprising news when Swift announced the release ofThe Tortured Poets Department,her new album which will drop on April 19, 2024.

Alix Earle shared a special moment with Jake Shane.

ICYMI, TikTok stars Alix Earle and Jake Shane shared an adorable moment on the red carpet at the Grammys.

Perhaps to millennials, it wasn't all that exciting to see Shane, who is somewhat of a comedian online (and also Sofia Richie's BFF), show some affection to TikTok's golden girl, Earle, but to Gen Z's? It was a moment worth stopping for.

As Earle got ready to pose for Cole Walliser (who operates and manages that slow-mo camera celebrities love to be part of), a clip showed Shane holding his friend back to fix her hair.

It's the little things, guys.
