The 63rd Grammy Awards took place on Sunday night, and there were plenty of special details and subtle moments you might've missed

The partially virtual ceremony had plenty of fantastic performances, sweet interactions, and stunning red-carpet looks.

Here are some details from the 2021 Grammy Awards that you may have missed:

Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell broke a new record and won an award before the show officially began

Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell won the best song written for visual media award for "No Time To Die" - penned for the James Bond movie of the same name - during the preshow.

The siblings accepted the award together virtually. Eilish spoke for most of their allotted time, and her brother thanked her for allowing him to write with her, adding, "I feel very lucky to be your brother."

This is the first time a win has been awarded in this category for a film that has not yet premiered.

Phoebe Bridgers wore a skeleton outfit, a sparkly version of some of her signature looks

Four-time nominee Phoebe Bridgers wore an embroidered skeleton outfit, a nod to her signature skeleton onesie that she's worn a few times this past year.

"I wear a skeleton costume all the time, but one of the reasons I do is because I saw this Thom Browne dress forever ago and thought it was so cool," Bridgers told E!. "And I asked for it. I basically stole it."

She wore a skeleton look on the cover of her album "Punisher," in the "Kyoto" music video, and during a recent "Saturday Night Live" performance.

Lizzo's jewelry was made up of tiny snakes

Lizzo's red-carpet look matched a mint-green dress and heels with glittery hair and glamorous accessories.

If you look closely, you can see that her diamond jewelry followed a serpent theme, complete with snake-scale earrings, bracelets, rings, and a necklace.

Her jewelry was from Bulgari's Serpanti collection and her snake-skin earrings alone cost at least $45,000.

For her presentation look, Lizzo wore clips that her stylist bought from the mall

Lizzo wore a pale-prink dress to present the best new artist award to Megan Thee Stallion, and her clips stole the show.

The trio of oversized pink clips were actually a last-minute addition to her outfit. Her hairstylist, Shelby Swain, told Vogue that she bought them at the mall the day of the award show.

Chloe X Halle wore matching, custom Louis Vuitton looks with over 60,000 beads

Chloe and Halle Bailey, known by their stage name Chloe X Halle, wore matching outfits for the Grammys red carpet.

The pair wore custom dresses by Louis Vuitton, which were made with more than 60,000 glass beads, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Chloe's dress was floor-length and Halle's was shorter, but both had a low neckline, thin straps, and intricate beadwork.

Host Trevor Noah made a joke referencing Harry Styles' recent Vogue cover when introducing Styles' performance

Grammy Award host Trevor Noah introduced Harry Styles for his performance with the joke, "He'll steal your heart and your dress."

This is an apparent reference to Styles' 2020 Vogue cover shoot, in which Styles famously wore a dress.

The singer wore a banana necklace, rings with his initials on them, and at least three different scarves throughout the evening

Styles performed "Watermelon Sugar" while wearing plenty of noteworthy accessories.

His rings had his initials, "H" and "S" on them, and he wore a NSFW banana necklace, as pointed out by Page Six. The peeled banana revealed a phallic shape and he wore it beside a cross necklace.

Styles also wore a green feather scarf during his performance, a purple one for his red-carpet look, and a black one later in the evening.

Taylor Swift's performance featured details from her 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' eras

Swift performed "Cardigan," "August," and "Willow" during her Grammys performance while surrounded by an intricate set reminiscent of the house Disney Plus' "Long Pond Studio Sessions" were recorded in.

Both had wooden walls and big windows.

Swift also performed barefoot, which added to the fairy-tale aesthetic of the performance. It also could've been a nod to the titular track on "Evermore," which references being barefoot.

Throughout her performance, the windows at the back of the house changed their screens for each song to show the aesthetic featured in the lyric or music video for that track.

For example, gold glitter flashed behind the window during "Willow," a nod to the music video where Swift follows a golden thread.

Swift's guitar has stars on it, which could be a nod to lyrics from one of the songs she performed

The neck of Swift's guitar has stars on it, which may have been a reference to "Cardigan," the first song she performed during the show.

It was nominated for song of the year and features the line, "You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding."

Swift also thanked Betty, Inez, and James in her speech - Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' kids

While accepting the award for album of the year, Swift thanked her collaborators and her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

She also thanked James, Inez, and Betty as well as their parents. This was a reference to married couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively and their three daughters.

"Folklore" fans may recognize the kids' names, as all three lent them to characters who appear on the track "Betty."

Swift also mentioned that Reynolds and Lively are the "second and third people" that she plays her new songs for, after Alwyn.

Swift's jewelry was designed by a family friend

Swift rocked some simple jewelry designed by Cathy Waterman along with her floral dress.

Waterman is the mother of Claire Winter Kislinger, an original member of Swift's "squad" of friends.

The designer posted a photo of the singer on Instagram with the caption, "The incomparable @taylorswift wearing CW Opal Lace Edged Earrings & her own CW Triple Opal Ring to the Grammys tonight. Go get em' Taylor."

Kislinger also documented the moment on her Instagram story with the caption, "My girl + my mom. Doesn't get better!"

Swift and Styles had a seemingly sweet exchange during the ceremony

During a commercial break, Swift and Styles were spotted talking and smiling. The conversation was not audible.

Swift was also the first to stand and applaud Styles when he won the pop solo performance award for "Watermelon Sugar," a category that Swift was also nominated in for "Cardigan."

The two began dating in 2012 and broke up in 2013.

Brandi Carlile's guitar strap has her name on it

Brand Carlile performed a tribute to the late John Prine during the show's "In Memoriam" segment.

The guitar she played has her first name written on the strap.
