Meanwhile, 21 Savage did not take home any awards despite being nominated for song of the year, best collaboration, hip-hop artist of the year, hip-hop song of the year, and R&B song of the year.

One of the biggest moments of the Monday ceremony came when Stevie Wonder presented Beyoncé with the innovator award.

The pop superstar was recognized for her career, including her most recent album "Cowboy Carter," as well as her work outside of music.

Another big moment came when Meryl Streep presented Cher with the icon award.

During her acceptance, the 77-year-old Grammy winner had a hilarious message for her haters.

"There are people who say, 'Doesn't that b***h have more than one pair of pants?'" Cher said. "I've had these pants for 40 years. I thought we should come here and accept this award together."
