Getty Thank goodness for the photographers who roamed around backstage and in the audience at the 54th annual Grammy Awards last night (February 12), or else we wouldn't have known Lady Gaga attended the show. The woman who grabbed headlines at last year's show by arriving to the red carpet in an egg/vessel/womb skipped the carpet this year and watched the show and schmoozed with guests, like Paul McCartney , quietly from her seat, while donning a fishnet dress. Other backstage and audience moments included first-time Grammy winner Chris Brown [...]

Just like Taylor Swift did on her Speak Now tour , Kelly Clarkson is incorporating different covers in each one of her stops as she travels the country on her Stronger tour. Though Swift's picks were decided upon the city she was in, Kelly is leaving it up to her fans. And her fans have good taste: while in Albany, New York, Clarkson delivered a wonderful cover of Coldplay's weepy "Fix You", and a few days prior at Foxwoods in Connecticut, she put her spin on Carrie Underwood's "I Know You Won't" and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You".

Now, this isn't the first time the Toyota Camry cruiser has trotted out "I Know You Won't" for fans — they went bananas for it at last month's concert at the Troubador [...]
