Most of us could count on this year's Grammys to have its fair share of political statements.
From Katy Perry's ode to the Hillary Clinton pantsuit to Beyoncé's message of unity and social justice during her acceptance speech, celebrities weren't afraid to speak their minds.

very much respect goes out to Joy Villa for standing up for her beliefs at the #GRAMMYS
Remember when people said Meryl Streep's speech was "brave"? Naw. What @Joy_Villa did at #TheGrammys in a crowd full of leftists, is brave.
Others, on the other hand, were not having it.
The internet wins again. #GRAMMYs #JoyVilla
Worst Dress Award goes to Joy Villa. #GRAMMYs
@Joy_Villa imagine choosing to end your career before anyone even knew who you were

Y'all I found her account. She's a know Grammy's red carpet troll. @Joy_Villa
Hate it or love it, at least every year we can count on Villa to #MakeGrammysFashionWeirdAgain.
(Honorable mention goes to Cee Lo Green's gold-dipped lucha libre look.)
