Grammy Memes: Pharrell's Mountie Hat, Madonna's Quaker Oats Ensemble And Kacey Musgraves' Honkey-Tonky Disaster: PHOTOS
You'd think an award show would actually be about the awards, but no: Based on Twitter activity during the 56th Annual Grammys, the main highlights of the show was what some folks wore.
Specifically Pharrell Williams.
Williams was a big winner, both with awards and performances, but his biggest accomplishment had to be breaking the Internet with a statement headpiece that made him look like a Canadian Royal Mountie or Curious George's human pal.
