If you were watched the Grammy Awards closely, you might have noticed a common theme pop up a few times during the show: the presence of horns.

Perhaps the most noteworthy star to don light-up, red devil horns was pop singer Katy Perry, though she was hardly the only performer or audience member to wear them.

While some viewers expressed confusion as to why the devil horns were making an appearance, Business Insider reported that they were handed out to accompany AC/DC’s opening performance of “Highway to Hell,” noting that the band’s name was actually printed on them.

The horns weren’t present throughout the entire night, though, as a message reportedly popped up on the Grammy teleprompter asking audience members — Perry included — to put them away for the remainder of the show.

“Ladies and gentlemen: the devil horns are yours to keep, but please put them away for the rest of the show. Thank you,” the message read, according to tweets sent by Matthew Belloni, executive editor at Hollywood Reporter, and an Instagram photo from People Magazine.
