Not all of the fun at the 2014 Grammys took place onstage and in the audience. Thanks to the wonders of social media, we got a keyhole, behind-the-velvet-rope look at all of the happenings.

At the 2014 Grammys (Jan. 26), there were way more hits than misses and hardly any red carpet trainwrecks. There was an abundance of blush-hued, strapless, sleeveless and frilly-femme frocks. We've weeded through all the looks, and these were our absolute favorites and picks for best dressed...

At red carpet events, the males are usually overlooked in favor of their female counterparts and their couture gowns and dresses. Fashion is driven by women -- we get that.  But here at PopCrush, we are taking a minute to celebrate the Hottest Men at the 2014 Grammys!

Lorde looked appropriately regal when she performed her smash hit 'Royals' at the 2014 Grammys.

Katy Perry galloped onto the 2014 Grammys stage (Jan. 26) with a gothic-tinged performance of her latest smash 'Dark Horse.'

Country superstar Hunter Hayes, who is all of 22 and so talented that it makes our heads spin in a 360-degree rotation, debuted the new song 'Invisible' at the 2014 Grammys (Jan. 26).

The second performance of the 2014 Grammys was by none other than newcomer Lorde, who performed her smash hit 'Royals.'

The People's Choice Awards are refreshing since they are voted on by the fans. The stars come out to accept their honors, dressed snazzily but in much less formal fashion than, say, the Oscars or the Grammys.

If OneRepublic were really counting stars, we hope they had extra fingers at the 2014 People's Choice Awards. They were surrounded!

Sara Bareilles' 'Brave' may sound a bit like 'Roar' by Katy Perry, but when performed live, the differences between the tracks are bright and glaring. Case in point: the 2014 People's Choice Awards.

Sara Bareilles went low-key at the 2014 People's Choice Awards. The 'Brave' singer didn't exactly take a chance with her simple black and white dress.

The 2014 People's Choice Awards didn't limit the awesomeness and fun to the red carpet or the live show. There was a slew of amazing behind-the-scenes action, too! See the best footage from the 2014 PCAs that didn't make it on TV right here.
