For Rosé, the experience marked a career milestone, being her first time attending the Grammys.

While the awards ultimately went to Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s “Defying Gravity,” the night didn’t end on a somber note for the two artists.

Instead, Mars shared a candid post-show moment that quickly resonated with fans. “Count on me and Big Bad Rosie to be eating a pizza after a show! Thank you to everyone at the Grammys for letting us have some fun. Congrats to all!” he wrote, alongside a photo of the pair casually enjoying pizza and drinks.
