-Grammy’s: This past weekend was the 2015 Annual Grammy Music Awards. There were many surprises, but the biggest one was Beck winning album of the year over fan-favorite Beyoncé. Kanye West showed his true colors again by stepping up on stage and almost interrupting Beck just like he did with Taylor Swift a few years ago. But other than the awards drama, there were many performances that blew the crowd and viewers away like Ed Sheeran’s live performance of ‘Thinking Out Loud’ with John Mayer and Questlove. And the live performance of ‘FourFiveSeconds’ was absolutely outstanding. But the real winner had to be Sam Smith with guest Mary J. Blige singing ‘Stay with Me’. Smith was actually a big winner too- winning the coveted Best New Artist award and three others.

-Valentine’s Day: Ah yes, the classic Hallmark-holiday is right around the corner again. What will you be doing for this love-filled holiday? Spending it with your significant other? Going to see the ultimate romantic movie ‘Fifty Shades of Gray’? Buying discount chocolate the day after? Going out with friends? Whatever you do, we hope that your Valentine’s Day is one filled with happiness and love! (And that’s as cheesy as it gets.)
