Tina Turner’s presence was felt throughout the evening. Miley Cyrus performed “Flowers” after winning her first Grammy, which had many seeing inspiration from the late Turner.

Additionally, Fantasia Barrino led a tribute to Turner with a performance of “Proud Mary,” the Creedence Clearwater Revival song written by John Fogerty that Turner transformed into a showstopper of her own. Fans online were also quick to point out that it was the same song Fantasia had auditioned with for the third season of “American Idol” which she won in 2004.
