Grammys give the musically gifted carte blanche to get weird and many took the opportunity to let their freak flag fly (Looking at you, Madonna's grills). But Pharrell William's hat, a Vivienne Westwood original, is the most important. Jay Z and Beyoncé's extra sexy duet to Lorde killing it during her first awards show performance are nothing compared to this oversized hat. It has been likened to the signature accessory of a mounty, Smokey the Bear, and extra storage, thanks to its own Twitter account (@Pharrellshat, of course). Check out the best use of people's time and limited photoshop skills last night below.

And then Pharrell proved once again that he is amazing:
