Watch: It's Always Halloween For Daft Punk, KISS, CeeLo Green, Bootsy Collins & The Blue Man Group

Happy Halloween! Check out this epic reel of some of the most Oct. 31st-ready looks from across the years at the GRAMMYs

Today may officially be Halloween, but the artists in the below video prove you can rock your spookiest and most outlandish outfits anywhere, including on the GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMYs red carpet and stage. If you're still in need of a last-minute Halloween costume, this video will provide plenty of inspiration.

In the video you'll spot Lady Gaga's famous golden egg, which she was carried in across the 53rd GRAMMY Awards red carpet, giving birth to a fabulous "Born This Way" performance later that evening. You'll also find Sia rocking one of her iconic giant face-obscuring wigs and Daft Punk and the Blue Man Group (at the 2012 Latin GRAMMYs) just being themselves as they walk the carpet. 

KISS, Daft Punk & CeeLo Green: GRAMMYs' Fun 'Fits

There are so many electric and eccentric looks packed into the one-minute video, so let's review a few more. The chrome and gold versions of the elusive French electronic duo's helmets were the ones they looked sleek in on the carpet at the 56th GRAMMY Awards in 2014. Evidently, being a robot is probably harder than we think, and they later changed into white helmets and suits for their funk-filled performance with Stevie Wonder, Nile Rogers and Pharrell Williams. This dynamic crew later took home Album Of The Year and Best Dance/Electronica Album, among other wins, for Random Access Memories.

Near the end of this video, you'll find Williams donning his infamous sky-high tan hat with a red Adidas track jacket, his GRAMMY look that year. In this reel, you'll also see CeeLo Green being CeeLo, on stage in a Carnival-meets-Knights-at-the-Roundtable ensemble during his performance of "Forget You" at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards, which also featured the Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The one and only Madonna channels a matador and Marie Antoinette at the 57th GRAMMYs, while Kanye West and Jamie Foxx suit up for the marching band during their performance of Ye's GRAMMY-winning hit "Gold Digger" at the 48th GRAMMY Awards in 2006. You'll also see funk legend Bootsy Collins posing with metal guitar slayer—and KFC bucket wearing—Buckethead, as well as fellow mask-concealing hard rockers Slipknot, who pose with their gramophones for Best Metal Performance in 2006. Finally, it would be sacrilegious on this day to not pay tribute to Nicki Minaj serving up Little Red Riding Hood couture in her 2012 Versace gown, alongside a Pope look-alike.

Happy Halloween!

(The GRAMMY Insider keeps you up to date about news on your favorite GRAMMY winners, including new album releases, tour updates, notable TV appearances, interviews, and more.)

Awards/Lists
Taylor Swift was the big winner at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19 in Las Vegas. The seven-time GRAMMY winner took home eight awards, including Top Artist, Top Digital Songs Artist, Top Female Artist, and Top Billboard 200 Album for Red. Other GRAMMY winners receiving awards included Fun., Gotye and Kimbra, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Rihanna, and Skrillex. … Public Policy Polling has taken a survey of who Americans love (and hate), with plenty of GRAMMY winners appearing on the favorable side, including Adele, Beyoncé, Swift, and Justin Timberlake. Those falling on the unfortunate side of the spectrum included Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. … Nominations for the annual BET Awards '13, taking place June 30, were announced with Drake leading the field with 12 nominations. … Adam Levine was honored with the President's Award at the 61st Annual BMI Pop Awards on May 14 in Los Angeles.

Music And Film/TV
Kanye West was the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" on May 18, debuting "Black Skinheads" and "New Slaves" from his forthcoming new album. During the former performance, the 21-time GRAMMY winner angrily rapped against an abstract projected backdrop, which featured stark black-and-white images, vintage price tags and a message that read "Not for sale." According to an Instagram post by his main squeeze Kim Kardashian, West's new album will be titled Yeezus and will be released June 18. … Cee Lo Green will appear in "The Cee Lo Life," an unscripted series expected to premiere in 2014 that will follow Green as he prepares to bring Goodie Mob back to the stage with Big Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo. … Rihanna's design competition reality series "Styled To Rock" will premiere this fall and feature Pharrell Williams as one of three contestant mentors.

Lifestyle
Following comments from Beyoncé that surfaced last week wherein the singer said her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, "needs some company," sources have revealed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are expecting baby number two. However, hubby Jay-Z has said the rumors are not true in a reply to a congratulatory email he received from New York radio station Hot 97. If they are pregnant, here's hoping the couple has set aside some savings for cravings. While in Dublin early last week, Beyoncé spent an estimated $1,200 on spicy takeout food.

Academics
Dr. Dre and producer Jimmy Iovine have donated $70 million to the University of Southern California for a new Academy of Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation. … Willie Nelson has been named an honorary doctor of music by Boston's Berklee College of Music, along with Carole King and Annie Lennox.

On The Road

In related news, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington made an unexpected appearance as the frontman for Stone Temple Pilots on May 18 at the KROQ-FM Weenie Roast. The group, who recently parted ways with Scott Weiland, debuted a new song with Bennington, "Out Of Time," which is available for free download. Bennington will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award at the annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert on May 30.

Charts, Sales And New Music

's Golden debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking their third chart-topping release. … Natalie Maines' first solo album, Mother, debuted at No. 17. … Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of up to 300,000 copies following its release on May 21, according to Billboard.biz. … Also on May 21, Darius Rucker will release his third country album, True Believers. … John Fogerty will celebrate the release of his new album, Wrote A Song For Everyone, and his birthday with a special concert in Los Angeles on May 28. … Rumor has it Lady Gaga gave fans a taste of her forthcoming new album, Artpop, during the launch party for Versace Versus on May 14 in New York.

Viral
A cover of David Bowie's classic "Space Oddity," recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield onboard the International Space Station, has gone viral with more than 14 million YouTube views. Hadfield's vocals and guitar were recorded on the space station (and mixed with supporting tracks by Emm Gryner, a Canadian musician who once sang backup for Bowie), leading some observers to call it the first music video made in space.

Real Estate
Looking for some new digs? The former home of Metallica's James Hetfield — a four-bedroom estate in Novato, Calif., — has been placed on the market for a reported $3.4 million. … After reportedly dropping more than $17 million on a waterfront mansion in Watch Hill, R.I., Taylor Swift received an unwelcome visitor on the morning of May 14. According to police, 22-year-old Lucas H. Borsteveld was caught and cited for trespassing. 

#thebeatles 
In a recent interview on BBC Radio 4, Yoko Ono thanked Paul McCartney for squashing longtime rumors that Ono broke up the Beatles last October. Ono also touched on the difficulty of being a Beatles wife. "I think it's more difficult than being a politician's wife, because it's endless," she said.

The international music and entertainment communities united together Saturday (June 27) for the star-studded "Global Goal: Unite for Our Future - The Concert," a globally televised and digitally streamed concert special. Presented by international advocacy organization Global Citizen and the European Commission, the event aimed to highlight the "disproportionate impact COVID-19 has on marginalized communities," according to a press release announcing the event, and to advance the development of and access to coronavirus tests, treatments and vaccines.

Global Goal featured both intimate and grandiose performances from some of music's biggest stars, including: Jennifer Hudson, who opened the show with a cover of Gladys Knight & The Pips' 1973 hit "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" while floating atop a boat on the Chicago River; Miley Cyrus, who performed a cover of The Beatles classic "Help!" in an empty Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, Calif.; and Lin-Manuel Miranda who reunited with the original Broadway cast of "Hamilton," alongside late-night host Jimmy Fallon and "The Tonight Show" house band The Roots, for a rare performance of musical number "Helpless."

Hosted by Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson, Global Goal also included appearances and video messages from TV and film icons including Hugh Jackman, Kerry Washington, Charlize Theron, Chris Rock, Billy Porter, Ken Jeong, Salma Hayek Pinault and several more. 

The event also included a summit, which featured panel discussions and interviews with global leaders, experts and thought-leaders like Angelique Kidjo, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Melinda Gates, Dr. Vin Gupta, NAACP President Derrick Johnson, Executive Director of UN Women Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka and others.

Airing in more than 180 countries and streaming globally online, Global Goal raised a total of $6.9 billion in pledges, according to a press release from Global Citizen.
