The Grammysare guaranteed to give us something to talk about the next day — or for years to come.

On the red carpet, you won't see any Old Hollywood ballgowns; instead, musicians includingJennifer LopezandToni Braxtonhave taken the opportunity to wear head-snapping gowns that start trends (and make some blush).

And as one of the most visible stages in music, there have been plenty of all-timer performances worth a rewatch, even decades later.

The ceremony, which first took place back in 1959, has also seen a lot of history-making moments from musicians who later became legends, such asMichael Jackson,Beyoncé,Mariah Careyand more.

As we gear up for the68th Annual Grammy Awardstonight, look back at these vintage photos from shows past.

'Melania,' panned by critics, still makes history. What could it mean?

Critics called "Melania,"the opulent and controversial documentary from Hollywood pariah Brett Ratner, an "elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold."

The Atlantic said that "Ratner seems desperate to find action, but there is none" in his quest to chronicle first ladyMelania Trump's life in the 20 days leading up to her husband's second inauguration in January 2025. Variety's film critic argued that "Melania," released in theaters Jan. 30, was "a piece of state-sanctioned propaganda out of 1960s Communist China."

And yet, the film still recorded a $7 million opening weekend, according to estimates Sunday, Feb. 1.

The new "Melania" documentary had a splashy premiere at the Trump Kennedy Center in Washington on Jan. 29, 2026. See which celebrities and political figures walked the red carpet, starting with President Donald Trump first lady Melania Trump.

Melania Trump is chic in black at movie's Kennedy Center premiere

Thenew "Melania" documentaryhad a splashy premiere at the Trump Kennedy Center in Washington on Jan. 29, 2026. See which celebrities and political figures walked the red carpet, starting with President Donald Trumpfirst lady Melania Trump.

Melania Trump documentary shocks at thebox office

The movie's blockbuster status may represent the gap that continues to exist between Hollywood andPresident Donald Trump'sgrasp on his MAGA fan base.

The film's first weekend success is reminiscent of Trump's two electoral victories in 2016 and 2024, showing the family can provide shock at both the ballot box and the box office.

'Melania' promised 'unprecedented access' into first lady's private world

Produced by the first lady, "Melania" represented a comeback of sorts forembattled director Ratner, accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women – including A-list actress Olivia Munn – in 2017.

An official description called "Melania" an open window into "the 20 days leading up to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration – through the eyes of the First Lady-elect herself," promising "unprecedented access" to moviegoers.

'Melania' Trump movie reviews arrive:What critics are saying

President Trump's own second term was a comeback of sorts for his family: He left office in 2021 after the events of Jan. 6, when rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, DC and several high-profile staff members left the former president's orbit. The Trumps retreated to Mar-A-Lago, the family's sprawling resort in West Palm Beach, Florida and lived their private lives.

Surrounded by a slew of new friends and an army of remaining longtime loyalists, Trump again ran for president, beatingVice President Kamala Harrisin November 2024. The first lady remained on the sidelines for most of the campaign, opting to focus on her only son, 19-year-old Barron.

On Inauguration Day, the following February, she recaptured the public's imagination. Trump donned a matching dark navy blue coat and skirt with a dramatic matching brimmed hat that covered her eyes. She paired the ensemble with matching heels and gloves.

'Melania' surprises film industry with box office performance

Over the past year, she has curated her own appearances, bucking tradition for political spouses. Trump is a member of a small but mighty group of American political spouses tending to the role in their own right.

New York City first lady Rama Duwaji, U.S. second lady Usha Vance and California first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom have also taken their own approaches to media appearances and public outings.

The ultra-private first lady has appeared, though, atPope Francis' funeral, Fourth of July festivities, the White House Easter Egg Roll and alongside her husband at other prominent events of national importance. "Melania" is the most expensive documentary in history, bought by billionaire Jeff Bezos' Amazon MGM Studios for $40 million, with an alleged$35 million spent on marketing.

She also launched herown production company, Muse Films, before the movie's theatrical release. The film is slated to stream on Amazon's Prime Video service later this year.

Alongside President Trump on Thursday,she walked the red carpet at the Trump Kennedy Centerfor the film's DC premiere, wearing a black Dolce & Gabbana buttoned skirt suit and skinny companion belt while the president was uniformed in his standard navy-blue suit and burgundy tie.

Hollywood ousted Brett Ratner. Is'Melania' Trump movie his comeback?

Celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Dr. Phil, Daphne Oz and former New York City Mayor Eric Adams attended the fête. Then on Friday,the film opened in theaters. The release, surpassing early projection numbers, came in third ($7 million) over the weekend, lagging behind a pair of horror films – survival comedy/thriller "Send Help" ($20 million) and indie scary movie "Iron Lung" ($17.9 million).

OnRotten Tomatoes, industry insiders slammed "Melania" with an awful 11% Tomatometer score. But audience tabulation using the website's Popcornmeter remains at a 99% approval rating, and the film boasted an "A" from audience-led CinemaScore measurements.

The filmperformed best in Trump strongholdslike Florida and Texas. For a woman so shrouded in mystery of her own making, Trump seemingly always finds a way to surprise both fans and, yes, the critics.

Latest Batch of Epstein Files Has Global Impact

The Justice Department's (DOJ) release of files related to investigations into Jeffrey Epstein on Friday has revealed further details about his ties to powerful figures in the United States.

The new batch of some three million pages included never-before-seen communications between Epstein and Secretary of CommerceHoward Lutnick, TeslaCEO Elon Muskand billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, to name a few.

The presence of someone's name or communications in the files is not proof of wrongdoing.

But the files have also revealed Epstein's global reach, causing shockwaves far beyond the United States.

From a resignation in Slovakia's government to a terse response from India's prime minister, here is how the latest batch of Epstein files is reverberating worldwide.

A minister resigns in Slovakia

The national security adviser to Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico has resigned in the wake of the latest document drop by the DOJ after his name was among those who allegedly corresponded with Epstein.

The text messages and emails appear to show a discussion between Miroslav Lajcak, a former Slovak foreign minister, and Epstein about movies, foreign affairs, and women.

In one series of text messages, a Lajcakappearsto message Epstein: "Regards from Kiev! Just to confirm that girls here are as gorgeous as ever:)".

Lajcak denied any wrongdoing and condemned Epstein's crimes in a statement, adding he was stepping down "Not because I did anything criminal or unethical," but so that Fico "does not bear political costs for something unrelated to his decisions," according to localSlovakmedia.

Prime Minister Fico announced Lajcak's decision in a video statement on Facebook, praising him as "a great diplomat." In light of calls from the opposition party for Lajcak to resign, Fico said that media coverage of the case has been "hypocritical."`

India responds to email about Modi

One email between Epstein and a "Y. Jabor", in which he discussed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's relationship with the U.S. and Israel, prompted a response from the Indian government on Saturday.  In the email, sent after Modi's 2017 visit to Israel, Epstein said that the prime minister "danced and sang in Israel for the benefit of the US president."

The Indian governmentdeniedEpstein's characterization of the visit. "Beyond the fact of the Prime Minister's official visit to Israel in July 2017, the rest of the allusions in the email are little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal, which deserve to be dismissed with the utmost contempt," the statement said.

Modi was the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel, and the trip was seen as a shift in relations between the two countries. Donald Trump was in his first term in office as president at the time.

More pressure on Mountbatten-Windsor and Mandelson

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, wasstrippedof his titles and evicted from his royal residence by Buckingham Palace in October 2025 after years of controversy over his well-known ties to Epstein. He is the subject of allegations from one of Epstein's most vocal victims, the late Virginia Giuffre, who said in her posthumous memoir that she was forced to have sexual encounters with Andrew when she was a teen, which the British royal has repeatedly denied.

Mountbatten-Windsor is once again in the news as the newest batch of Epstein files show photographs of the former royal leaning over a woman or girl lying on the floor, whose face has been redacted. It is unclear where the photographs were taken, as no captions or comments accompanied them.

Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and has denied Giuffre's accusations.

Beyond Mountbatten-Windsor, Peter Mandelson, Member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, has also been implicated in the most recent batch of Epstein files released Friday. Bank statements released in the pages suggest that Epstein made $75,000 in payments to accounts connected to Lord Mandelson. The alleged payments were separated into three $25,000 sums between 2003 and 2004.

The files also suggest that after his release from prison in 2009, Epstein sent thousands of dollars in bank transfers to Peter Mandelson's then-partner Reinaldo Avila da Silva.  A spokesperson for Mandelson toldSky News:"Neither he nor his husband, Reinaldo Avila da Silva, has any record or recollection of receiving payments in 2003 or 2004 or know whether the documentation is authentic."

"There are also multiple formatting errors in the documents and I would like JP Morgan to confirm on the record that they are certain these documents are authentic and that the individual cheques are also authentic," Lord Mandelson told Sky News.

"Until this fact checking has been achieved I maintain my original position which is that I have no record and no recollection of ever receiving these sums and that these statements are false," he continued.

Mandelson was fired as the U.K.'s ambassador to the United States in September after the country's foreign office said that a previous release of emails showed that the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was "materially different from that known at the time of his appointment."

The new files add further political pressure on Mandelson and Mountbatten-Windsor to testify before Congress about their links to Epstein. The House Oversight Committee called on the former royal to travel to Washington for questioning.

"In terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information," Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters Friday.  "Epstein's victims have to be the first priority."

Washington scolds Cuba after crowds heckle US diplomat

By Dave Sherwood

HAVANA, Feb 1 (Reuters) - The United States on Sunday accused Cuba of interfering with the work of its top diplomat in Havana after ​small groups of Cubans jeered at him during meetings with residents and ‌church representatives outside the capital.

Amid rising tensions between the two countries, the State Department on social media accused ‌the Cuban government of "failed intimidation tactics," and it demanded that Havana stop "sending individuals to interfere with the diplomatic work" of U.S. Charge d'Affaires Mike Hammer.

Friction has increased between the long-time foes after U.S. President Donald Trump last week declared Cuba "an unusual and extraordinary threat" to U.S. national ⁠security and said he would ‌slap tariffs on any country that delivered oil to the communist-run Caribbean island.

Trump on Sunday said Cuba was "a failing nation" but added: "I ‍think we're going to make a deal with Cuba."

Hammer, a career diplomat who arrived in Cuba in late 2024, has traveled the island widely to meet with political dissidents, Catholic Church representatives and ​others. The Cuban government accuses him of seeking to foment unrest.

On Saturday, he posted ‌a video describing alleged harassment following a meeting with local church leaders.

"When I left the parish, a few communists, surely frustrated by how bad the revolution is going, shouted obscenities at me," Hammer said in the video on social media.

Subsequently, several more videos surfaced showing small groups of people in two locations during nighttime blackouts, taunting Hammer with ⁠cries of "Assassin!" and "Imperialist!"

Reuters could not identify the individuals ​in the videos, and Cuba's government has not commented ​on them.

Cuba's foreign ministry last year complained to Hammer about behavior it said was "interventionist" and alleged he incited Cubans to commit crimes and attack the ‍state.

The U.S. Embassy, which ⁠produces the videos, has denied those charges and says Hammer is simply doing his job.

The two neighboring countries have been at odds since Fidel Castro's 1959 ⁠revolution, but a crippling economic crisis on the island and stepped up pressure from the Trump administration ‌have recently brought the conflict to a head.
