2014grammyawards10The oh-so regal Queen Latifah introduce Macklemore and Ryan Lewis who shared the stage with the material girl herself, Madonna and Mary Lambert. The group sang Same Love, the unique and equalizing love song that’s taken the nation by storm and we couldn’t think of a better lady to lend her voice than Madge. A mass wedding took place mid-song, which was officiated by Queen Latifah and made the moment that much more magical. If you’ve yet to watch it then get ready to swoon…just a little bit.
