If you're like me, you love the awkward moments during awards shows. And despite being a prestigious affair, the Grammys were still home to some quality cringe/uncomfortable moments this year.

9. People pointed out how it felt like there were virtually no awards were given out during an AWARD SHOW:
"i wish they would give out another award" is a crazy thought to have while watching an award show...
10. People were definitely taken aback by a surprise speech from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, who then presented John Legend:
I’m sorry WHAT DID THEY ASK THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE TO FILM FOR THE GRAMMYS
the president of ukraine presenting john legend feels incredibly dystopian #GRAMMYs
Did the Grammys really get a speech from the Ukraine president…
11. It appeared that Billy Porter called Jazmine Sullivan's album as "Hoe's Tales" which sounded like "Hostess" or some mispronunciation of the proper name, Heaux Tales...

12. ...which explains why Jazmine looked super confused when she won:

13. Whoever was in charge of the bleeping for the Grammys messed up a few times during Justin Bieber's performance of "Peaches," which contained the words "shit" and "bitch":

Justin’s gonna pay that FCC fine for that lil slip up 👀 #GRAMMYs
Think those bleep outs for Justin Bieber are coming a word or two too late(?) #GRAMMYs #GrammyAwards
14. And lastly, Doja Cat almost missed winning her first Grammy because she was in the bathroom!
