Young people don’t even watch awards shows to learn who won anymore.
They’re really just trying to catch celebrities off their guards and capture viral-worthy moments for a chance to get a meme #trending.
Thankfully, the 2018 Grammy Awards were a gold mine of celebrities doing wacky shit and pulling weird faces that made the Internet collectively say, “Same!”
The memes started early. Cardi B‘s perplexed face at E! host Giuliana Rancic got the ball rolling.
