Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé & Michelle Williams, 2001
During the 2001 ceremony, the Grammys kept saying Destiny's Child name as they nabbed Record of the Year and Best R&B Performance. The girl group donned matching outfits at what was Beyoncé's—as well as fellow members Kelly Roland and Michelle Williams'—first time attending.
Taylor Swift, 2008
Before she swiped her first of four Album of the Year wins in 2010, Taylor Swift attended her first ceremony—where she was nominated for Best New Artist—in 2008, months before dropping Fearless. The award instead went to the late Amy Winehouse.
Katy Perry, 2009
This California Gurl had her most unforgettable Grammys night during her first time attending in 2009, where she was nominated for "I Kissed A Girl."
Lady Gaga, 2010
Although Art Pop wasn't out yet, the "Paparazzi" singer attended her first Grammys in 2010 to heaps of applause. After earning one nomination for "Just Dance" in 2009, the pop icon was up for five nominations off of The Fame—and walked away with two wins.

The "Just The Way You Are" first proved he, too, was amazing during the Grammys in 2011, where he was honored with six nominations and a win in the Male Pop Vocal Performance for his aforementioned hit.

Although she didn't score a nomination herself until 2015, Ariana Grande attended her first Grammys ceremony alongside brother Frankie Grande in 2011, one year after Victorious premiered on Nickelodeon.
Frank Ocean, 2013
Notoriously known to fly under the radar, Frank Ocean did step out to pick up his only two Grammys during the 2013 ceremony.
Kendrick Lamar, 2014
The "Not Like Us" rapper now has 57 Grammy nominations under his belt—but his first seven were earned back in 2014, when he first attended the ceremony, for his album good kid, m.A.A.d city.
Charli XCX, 2015
Now, this was brat. Before earning a whopping eight nominations for her latest album, Charli XCX attended the 2015 ceremony, where she earned two nods for her and Iggy Azalea's track "Fancy."

The "Cowboys Cry Too" singer may have only recently hit mainstream, but she was recognized by the Recording Academy in 2017 for a Best New Artist nomination.
Billie Eilish & Finneas, 2019

It's her. The rapper earned her flowers for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best New Artist after bursting into the mainstream with her hit "Savage."
Harry Styles, 2021

Good 4 Olivia! After becoming a household name overnight with the success of "Drivers License," the Guts artist—along with her producer Dan Nigro—scored seven Grammys nominations, and walked away with three wins.
