"Got the club goin' up, on a Tuesday...

Like most people, I don't usually go out on weeknights. I'm more of a Friday/Saturday night kinda girl; that was until my plans got cancelled this past Tuesday. For months now, I had been bragging to everyone I know, including my co-workers, that I was going to go see Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Tyga live in concert in February. Back in November, it had been announced that the three artists would be going on tour together and the only Canadian stops were Montreal and Toronto.

It was the night before show and you can imagine my anticipation. Not only was I going to see one of my favorite artists (Trey Songz) perform, but I had great seats on top of that. I was so anxious that I had a hard time sleeping at night. Finally, the day had arrived; I was going into work for a 3 hour shift and then headed straight for the Bell Center. At around 5:30, I checked my phone only to find out that the show had been cancelled; I was devastated. The reason: Chris Brown couldn't cross the Canadian border due to immigration issues.

Around 10:00pm, I headed home and as I was looking at my Instagram, I came across a picture that a DJ friend of mine had posted that read: "Tonight! Trey Songz at club Le Cinq". I immediately called up one of my girls and met up with her at the club. Just after midnight, Trey made his appearance and the crowd went wild! He came out wearing a checkered shirt, black sunglasses and a tuque, which he removed later that night. He started off with his hit single "Touchin', Lovin'" and kept the crowd on their feet as he sang hit after hit, including "Say Aah", "Foreign" and "Slow Motion". It was a night I'll never forget!

Not bad for a Tuesday night; not bad at all!

And the Grammy goes to...

Music's biggest night is finally here! The 57th Grammy Awards will be held tonight live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Grammys are kind of like the Oscars for the music industry, bringing some of the biggest names in music under one roof. Some of this year's nominees include Iggy Azalea, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Taylor Swift. If you think the nominees list is impressive, wait until you see who will be taking over the stage.

Katy Perry is set to sing "By the Grace of God", off her nominated album "Prism", Rihanna will be joined by Sir Paul McCartney and Kanye West to perform their collaborative track "FourFiveSeconds". Speaking of collaborations, Mary J. Blige and Sam Smith will be sharing the stage, as well as Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, and Adam Levine will be teaming up with Gwen Stefani. Another anticipating performance will be the one by the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, which will mark the fifth time she has taken over the Grammy stage.

The Grammy Awards ceremony is known to recognize achievement in the music industry and features performances by talented artists. Like every other awards show, it is also known for the fashion, that can sometimes be jaw dropping (remember J.Lo's low-cut Versace dress?)

Tune it to the Grammys airing tonight at 8pm on CBS hosted by LL Cool J.
