Bruno Mars was the big winner of the 60th Grammy Awards last night - but was almost overshadowed by a surprise appearance from Hillary Clinton performing a “Fire and Fury” spoof.

The American singer-songwriter claimed a total of six prizes, including Album of the Year for 24K Magic, edging out competition from Jay-Z’s 4:44, Lorde’s Melodrama, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN., and Childish Gambino’s Awaken, My Love!, reports the BBC. Mars also claimed Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for That’s What I Like.
