“Macklemore hit the stage at the Staples Center on Sunday (Jan. 26) for a performance at the 56th annual Grammy Awards.

The 30-year-old rapper was joined for the gig by his producing partner, Ryan Lewis, and singer Mary Lambert to play the hit single “Same Love.” The performance was taken to another level with the addition of Madonna, who lent her vocals to the “Heist” track by transitioning into a rendition of “Open Your Heart.” Hours before the show, news leaked that Macklemore and Madonna’s performance would host the marriage ceremonies of 33 couples, to be officiated by Queen Latifah.

“Same Love” was nominated for Song of the Year at the awards show. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were also nominated for Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Best Rap Album for “The Heist,” Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Thrift Shop” and Best Music Video for “Can’t Hold Us.””* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
