The cast performed their songs "History Has Its Eyes On You" and "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)" at the awards and eliminated muskets from their performance because of the devastating Orlando shootings.

After hearing she had been shot, Levine posted a goofy-faced photo of the two, captioned, “I'm sad, shocked and confused. We love you so much Grimmie.”

Game of Thrones’Emilia Clarke gifted us with a behind-the-scenes blooper.

The actress, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, posted a throwback video of her and her warriors, Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), goofing around on set.

Though Grey Worm seems to be a fearsome warrior, Anderson completely failed at his cool knife twirling attempt. 

Clarke also tagged actor Michiel Huisman, who plays the character Daario Naharis, and has far superior knife handling skills. 

Better luck next time, Grey Worm.
