Last night was all about meaningful moments and performances, and it's safe to say that the 2018 Grammys were unforgettable. Many Golden 1 Center performers were in attendance, performed, and some even took home the gold!

Here are some of our favorite moments from the biggest night in music.

1. Before the Grammys Award Show, Jay-Z was honored with the 2018 Salute To Industry Icons Award at the Pre-Grammy Gala — another accomplishment to add to the long list of achievements throughout his career.

Such a thrill to perform with @MileyCyrus last night. Great to share the stage with a real singer and artist. She was terrific in every way and looked so gorgeous. I love you dear Miley. Such a beautiful woman and beautiful soul. Ex#GRAMMYs performance: https://t.co/iHYogkN8JA pic.twitter.com/sJquwEDUA1
