Please Enjoy This Flashback to the 2000 Grammy Awards
Y2K was a simpler time—sorry, I mean sequinier time. Basically it was The Year of the Sparkle, at least at the 2000 Grammy Awards. Now that the year 2000 is about to be, ahem, over TWENTY years ago (*pause to think about how old you are*), we figured this would be a good time to revisit the wild lewks (fur vests, low-rise jeans, platforms—and that was just Tara Reid), couples you forgot about (you defs forgot that [REDACTED] and Kid Rock dated), and the random mop (yep, a mop) that ended up on the red carpet. Happy time-traveling!

Maaajor Blair Waldorf vibes. Don’t have an outfit planned out for the Grammys? Just run to Spirit Halloween and grab the “school girl” costume! Kidding, kidding.
