One of the most legendary moments in Grammys' history was perhaps the time when a New York-based artist Michael Portnoy crashed Bob Dylan's performance in 1998. The singer was belting out "Love Sick" when Portnoy jumped into the stage and removed his shirt, revealing the words "Soy Bomb" written on his chest. He then proceeded to dance with his eyes closed for about 35 seconds before getting removed by security. Dylan, meanwhile, paid no attention and just kept playing.

Lady GaGa was all about theatrical in 2011, so it was only natural for her to go all out when she opened her "Born This Way" performance by coming out of a giant egg at the event. However, what made people shocked was the fact that she arrived on the red carpet inside the egg that was carried by scantily clad servants. As the egg was transparent, people still got to see the singer waving her hands from inside.

As if showing up with a pope-like person on the red carpet was not weird enough, Nicki Minaj performed an exorcism during her set of "Roman Holiday". The performance included a video of the rapper being possessed by her alter ego, Roman Zolanski, before viewers got to see her being chained to a wooden board as hooded priests pranced around her. She eventually began levitating over the stage while spitting her bars. Her performance at the time angered the Catholic League, who accused her of mocking the religion.

Jon Stewart made sure his opening monologue was one to remember when he hosted the Grammy Awards back in 2002. He opened the event with a skit about him getting stopped by what appeared to be airport security. The security insisted to have a full body check on the comedian, who kept refusing while saying he was the host. He then ended up getting dragged by two big men who began taking off his suit. Stewart eventually wore nothing but a boxer.

The crowd erupted in outraged booing after learning this.

The red carpet portion of an award show has always been the perfect opportunity for celebrities to amaze people with their fashion, and Jennifer Lopez definitely didn't miss the chance. The singer caused national commotion when she arrived in a green Versace gown with a "neckline" that plunged past her navel. If she were to make even one misstep, there was a big chance J.Lo would suffer wardrobe malfunction as she went braless.
