2012 Grammy Awards Red Carpet Photos

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards are taking place as scheduled tonight, albeit with the solemn weight of Whitney Houston's sudden death heavy on everyone's mind. 

Music superstars such as Nicki Minaj, Adele, Rhianna, Kelly Rowland and Ledisi all graced the red carpet, along with Birdman, Tyga, Rick Ross and countless others. 

Host LL Cool J opened the nights festivities with a prayer for the family of Whitney Houston, followed by a rousing performance from Bruno Mars, which was also dedicated to the late Ms. Houston. 

Check out the slideshow featuring some of the night's red carpet arrivals to your left, as well as Bruno's performance below that. 

Make sure to check back often throughout the night and tomorrow as we will be posting updates on the top winners, best performances and other highlights from the biggest night in music.
