Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar took home the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance with “Loyalty” during the 60th Annual Grammy Awards last night (Jan 28th). This marks Rihanna’s 9th Grammy Award ever since 2008, where she won her first ever Grammy with “Umbrella” in the same category.

Rihanna, DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller also took the stage for a sultry performance of “Wild Thoughts”. The performance had a fun, frisky energy as Rihanna and Tiller navigated a stage full of frozen, statue-like backing dancers, who burst loose at the sound of the chorus. Rihanna looked particularly stunning in a sparkly magenta dress and matching flower in her hair.

Unfortunately Rihanna didn’t walk the red carpet this year, but nevertheless there are lots of photos of her performance, speech and backstage photos in our gallery! Videos of the night after the jump!
