Adele and Beyonce may have dominated the Grammy Awards on Sunday evening.

But while one of these singers swept the show’s three biggest categories, and the other performed while pregnant with twins, neither took her pants off on stage.

So neither were able to match the antics of Twenty One Pilots.

But while Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph did, indeed, strip halfway down upon accepting the trophy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, they didn’t do it just to make headlines.

Nor did they do it as a joke or a lark or simply to make folks laugh.

Joseph explained on stage that there was actually a sentimental reason behind why he and Dun were standing before millions of viewers in their underwear.

"This story starts in Columbus, Ohio, and it was a few years ago," Joseph said in his speech. "It was before Josh and I were able to make money playing music."

The friends were at home, watching the Grammys with some other pals, and…

"As we were watching, we noticed that every single one of us was in our underwear. Josh turned to me and said, ‘If we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this."

So there you have it.

Pretty cool, huh?

"Not only is this amazing, but I want everybody who’s watching at home to know that they could be next," he concluded.

We love it!
