Carrie Underwood performed second on Monday night's Grammy Awards 2016 ceremony, following a stunning performance from Taylor Swift of "Out of the Woods" to open up the night. A video of Carrie Underwood's Grammys 2016 performance can be found below, as well as information on how to watch tonight's Grammy Awards 2016 event.
Underwood is one of the USA's most popular artists, and her fifth album, Storyteller was released in just 2015. That album made her the only country artist to have all first five studio albums reach either numbers one or two on the Billboard 200.
Underwood has also sold more than 65 million records worldwide.
Swift has been nominated for Record of the Year for "Blank Space", and has been in the news in recent days not for her own songs, but because of controversial lyrics in Kanye West's new song "Famous".
In that song, West calls Swift the "B" word as well as talks about having sexual relations with the singer - all this despite the fact that West is married to Kim Kardashian, and has two young children himself.
The singer will be joined by the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, as well as Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato and even Johnny Depp among others.
Adele is coming off a three year break, ending 2015 by releasing her third album, again to high critical acclaim, titled "25". The album broke first week sales records in both the US and UK, and debuted at number 1 in album charts around the globe.
The lead single on the album, "Hello", became the first song in the US to sell over one million digital copies within a week of its opening.
Adele's new album "25" is not up for the Album of the Year Grammy tonight as it was not released in time to be eligible for this year's awards ceremony.
Despite that, Adele's album is one of the most talked about albums in recent months, and the 10 time Grammy award winner is likely to belt out her recently released second single from the album, "When We Were Young."
Another singer with a new album, who will be performing tonight is Rihanna.
The Barbadian singer released her 8th studio album on February 5 and confirmed last week that she will be performing tonight. For a long time there were rumors that Rihanna would be performing in this year's Grammys as she appeared in a CBS TV promo last month for the awards show.
Lady Gaga will be performing a seven minute tribute to the late British legendary singer David Bowie. Gaga's song "Til It Happens to You" has been nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media, and her Bowie tribute tonight is sure to be one of the most talked about performances of the night.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber will be taking to the stage with Diplo and Skrillex, with the trio set to perform their hit single "Where Are U Now" - which is up for the Best Dance Recording award.
Monday night's Grammy Awards 2016 ceremony will be hosted by LL Cool J, and can be watched on TV live on the CBS network from 8 p.m. ET or online through live stream by clicking here.
