Grammys 2010: Beyonce makes history; Swift takes best album - NY Daily News Grammys 2010: Beyonce makes history with 6 wins; Taylor Swift takes best album Grammys 2010: Beyonce makes history; Swift takes best album Musician Beyonce performs onstage at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. She set the record for most wins by a female in one night. (Caulfield/WireImage.) BY The Associated Press Sunday, January 31, 2010, 11:07 PM Beyonce became the most decorated female on a Grammy night as she collected six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," but it was another diva — Taylor Swift — who nabbed the top honor, album of the year, for her best-selling "Fearless." Swift, who won a total of four awards, jumped around like the 20-year-old kid that she is when beat out Beyonce, the Dave Matthews Band , Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas for the honor. "Oh wow — thank you so much! I just hope that you know how much this means to me....

that we get to take this back to Nashville ," said Swift, whose "Fearless" was last year's best-selling album of any genre. "Oh my God, our families are freaking out in their living rooms," she added. "My dad and my little brother are losing their minds in the living room right now." Although Beyonce also lost out on record of the year, which went to the Kings of Leon 's "Use Somebody," the entertainer still owned the most awards of the evening. Beyonce, who in 2004 won five Grammys on the strength of her debut album "Dangerously in Love," a mark tied by the likes of Alicia Keys , Norah Jones and Lauryn Hill , Amy Winehouse and Alison Krauss , reached that milestone again Sunday en route to the new record. She is the first to reach that mark twice. She shared the song of the year trophy with three writers for "Single Ladies" and also won best R&B contemporary album for "I Am ...

Sasha Fierce." "This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammys," Beyonce said after winning best female pop vocal for "Halo." The Kings of Leon were a bit more entertaining when they picked up their record of the year trophy, the family quartet's third of the night. "I'm not going to lie, we're all a little drunk. But we're happy drunks," said lead singer Caleb Followill . Lady Gaga won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony but didn't get a chance to show her multitude of outrageous dresses during the primetime show, losing out on record, song and album of the year. But she made her presence felt when she kicked off the night with a sequined green leotard with massive shoulders as she sang her Grammy-nominated hit "Poker Face," then brought out Elton John as they melded her song "Speechless" and his classic "Your Song" together in a performance that featured dueling pianos, and glitter-painted faces. Swift, who was second to Beyonce in Grammy nominations with eight nods, also won best country album among her other awards.

The victory capped an amazing run for Swift, whose "Fearless" is only her second album. Her self-titled debut was a platinum success but "Fearless," with songs like "You Belong With Me," took her into the superstar stratosphere, as she won accolades across genres. Another country act to take a top award was the Zac Brown Band , which won best new artist. The Black Eyed Peas also had three trophies, as well as Jay-Z , who won for best rap solo performance and two awards for "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West . Rihanna — who was forced to bow out of last year's awards as a performer after being assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown , accepted the trophy along with Jay-Z and with Beyonce's young nephew in tow. West — who has kept a relatively low profile since his dustup with Swift a few months back — was a notable no-show. Maxwell, up for six awards, also won his first Grammys — best R&B male vocal for the ballad "Pretty Wings" and best R&B album for "BLACKsummers' night." The album marked the R&B crooner's return after an absence of eight years from the music business.

Many participants in the program wore red cross buttons in support of Haiti earthquake relief. Mary J. Blige joined Andrea Bocelli in a rousing rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which was not only designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song's big Grammy wins, but to raise money for the people in Haiti. The performance, introduced by Haitian native Wyclef Jean , will be available via iTunes .com/target, with the funds going to earthquake relief. The show also included a special 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson featuring a video clip he made of "Earth Song" as Usher , Carrie Underwood , Celine Dion , Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson sang along. Jackson's young children, Prince and Paris , accepted a lifetime achievement award for their late father. "Through all his songs his message was simple, love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world," Prince said.

Beyoncé Wins 6 Awards At The 2010 Grammy Awards | Pink is the New Blog Beyoncé Wins 6 Awards At The 2010 Grammy Awards by Trent Monday, February 1, 2010 Taylor Swift may be reveling in the fact that she won the top Album of the Year prize at the 2010 Grammy Awards, held here in LA, CA last night , but the really major accomplishment goes to pop diva Beyoncé for winning 6 Grammy Awards … setting a new record for the most wins by a female artist in Grammy history . You may recall that Beyoncé took home 5 Grammy Awards on the strength of her debut album Dangerously In Love but those 5 wins tied her with Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse (who each won 5 awards in one night as well).

Beyoncé‘s 6th win last night (Song of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)) put her over the top and into the Grammy record books: Beyonce has set a record for the most wins by a female in one night at the Grammys as she won six awards, including best female pop performance and song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Beyonce was Sunday night’s top nominee with 10 nods. Her wins also included best contemporary R&B album for “I Am … Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce had previously been tied for most wins by a female at a Grammys with Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse … She won the songwriting trophy along with three writers for her omnipresent anthem “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” The superstar also won best R&B contemporary album for “I Am … Sasha Fierce” among her other awards, and still had the opportunity to win the evening’s remaining top award — album of the year.

Beyonce wasn’t on hand to accept her early trophies: She was preparing for her dramatic onstage rendition of “If I Were A Boy,” one of several hits from her top-selling third CD. Well, we know now that Taylor Swift ended up nabbing the Album of the Year award but Beyoncé really did make a killing last night. At least she was nice enough to share the wealth, not only with Swift but also with Kings of Leon (who won Record of the Year for their massive hit Use Somebody). I think Beyoncé has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with … here’s hoping the best is yet to come. I firmly believe she will enjoy future award show nights just as big (or bigger) as last night’s haul at the 2010 Grammy Awards. There is still a lot of Grammy stuff to talk about … we’ll get to that a little later in the day. But first, a question … who do you think had a bigger night last night … Beyoncé or Taylor Swift? Michael Jackson Honored In 3D, Represented By His Children You may also like Damn this girl is on FIRE! She deserves every one of those Grammys . . . she works her ass everyday and it shows!

Congrats! vanessa I just loved her performance dress and the shoes. very pretty. she knows how to put on a show. cant take ur eyes off her. She works hard so good for her Meagan Hmmm…. that’s a tough call, about who had the bigger night. I want to say Taylor, just because she broke a record for the youngest person to ever win the Grammy for album of the year, which says A LOT. I know people didn’t want her to win that award, but you can’t deny how personal her songs are and I think that is what speaks to people. The other ladies like Beyonce and Lady Gaga seem to write songs more for the star power they will provide than for themselves like Taylor does. Margie Beyonce’s performance was electrifying! That girl has earned her Grammys. As for Taylor, she deserved a Grammy but I doubt for Album of the Year. She needs to work on her live singing cause damn. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Or perhaps she needs to thank her studio genies because this is the second time she has sung offkey with her live act. The VMAs were the other.

Lana Beyonce is overrated :[[ She did not deserve all of those Grammy’s. I Am Sasha Fierce is by far her worst album of all the albums she has released. I find it amazing that she has more Grammys than Mariah Carey, Madonna, and Whitney Houston combined, even before she won the 6 last night. Hmm, seems shady to me that her father is on the voting board… Jordan Easily Beyoce. Taylor is starting to drive me nuts, great song writer not a great singer. Carrie Underwood got screwed by not winning best country female vocal performance, the win would have set a record too. nicole i dunno, im kind of over beyonce. i mean…this had to be her worst album. and IMHO – it wasnt a grammy album. A I cannot believe she won for “Single Ladies”. It is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. CB B definitely had a better night. Taylor’s cute an’ all, but the poor dear can’t sing, and the Disney-esque story line of every. single. song. is getting really old. Bey deserves them!

But damn why wasnt kanye there when Taylor won ALBUM of the year lol halifaxhoney I’m kind of tired of hearing about both of them. I really didn’t think that I am Sasha Feirce was a good album. I think I liked Beyonce better with Destiny’s Child. As for Taylor Swift I don’t care for her voice. I think there are probably a bunch of teenage girls singing into a brush with a similar voice. There isn’t a whole lot of good music out there right now anyway. The music world is saturated with one hit wonders and people who are making music for money. I guess they need to hand out awards every year. The show must go on… Kayla I think they both had great nights :) . While I’m a Taylor fan and not a Beyonce fan at all I can’t deny she has talent. Congrats to them both! Jordan A : You should never let Trent here your diss Single Ladies or he’ll be all over your ass. debho I cannot for the life of me work out the appeal of Beyonce.

She’s okay to look at (in a cliche kind of way), but her voice is horrendous….so screechy and tinny and her songs are crap, except for Halo. JMO My 10 yo daughter has the Taylor Swift album and let me tell you, it got old real quick. lol She’s a sweet girl though and I can see the appeal for young girls. CHASE Beyonce is a douche bag. Yeah, I sad it and I don’t care what anyone thinks. She DOES NOT write her own material. I have no idea how she gets her names on songs but whatever. ‘If I Were A Boy’ was already released by someone else but Beyonce changed a few lyrics and then slapped her name on it. She’s a dirty thief. Also, she wanted ‘Irreplaceable’ (which saved her second album from flopping, by the way) given song credit to her and Ne-Yo publicly announced that he wrote the song and she had nothing to do with it. I’m sorry but she’s a joke. If any other artist did the same people would be all over their ass but since it’s Beyonce it’s A-OK, apparently.

Taylor has the biggest night because she outsold Beyonce, Britney, Susan Boyle, Lady GaGa and countless others with her album and she’s only a 20-year-old girl. She definitely triumphed Beyonce. krissy I think that Beyonce completely deserved her awards for her SONGS, but not for her ALBUM. I thought she had a few really good songs on there, but over all I was disappointed with the cd as a whole. Taylor isn’t really my thing, but I think she is a great role model and her cd is a “slice of life” from the perspective of a teen, which has its own value. CHASE She’s also a copy cat: and b I like Beyonce but I find her voice a tad on the whiny side..she isn’t the best singer out there. I liked Single Ladies, but everything else I heard off the album sucked…I like previous albums better. b Oh, and I think the Grammy’s are kind of a joke at this point. It is more about sales than about true talent (which some people might say is sales).

It always disgusts me that they nominate people for “best new artist” that have been around for years- it’s as if they didn’t exist until the Grammy’s decided they did. J I think someone was afraid of Britney’s performance so she had to perform it at the Grammy’s to kinda be like “I covered this – now everyone will know”. Personally, i thought it should have only been 5 (or even 4 as Maxwell deserved one that she beat him at more than her). But she really didn’t deserve the “At Last” award. — Beyonce Wins 6 Grammys, Sets Record | 2010 Grammy Awards, Beyonce Knowles : Just Jared Tweet Beyonce Wins 6 Grammys, Sets Record Beyonce sweeps at the 2010 Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Sunday (January 31) in Los Angeles.

Oceane Why does she always dress like a giant disco ball all the time… yo sista i thought the record win was EIGHT GRAMMIES by alicia keys…. Anita I thought norah jones won like 7 or 8 grammys when she first came out. Winckelmann Yeah, Beyonce’s dad was in the panel picking the winners, so.. Ms Anonymous doesn’t MJ has the record with 8 grammy’s?

mihay Talentless, stuck up b i t c h didn’t deserve one of those Grammy’s. Guess either her dad payed someone off or her husband threatened someone’s life if she didn’t get the awards. lol Natalie You don’t think record executives don’t vote for their own acts. 1 person out of a few hundred or few thousands cannot make that big a difference. That’s like saying Clive Davis didn’t vote for Alicia Keys, Whiney Houston, etc..because those are his acts. Scott Beyonce looked beautiful. Danielle Beyonce rocks. I’m so happy for her. It couldn’t happen to a more talented, nicer person. amy MJ IS A DUDE OBVIOUSLY.. AND NOO.NO-ONE HAS GOT MORE THAN 5..THATS WHY BEY BROKE THE RECORD..DUHHH.. amy ..why u askin..wasnt it this woman..or that woman…obviously she was the first female to win more than 5 in one night.thats why she broke it!! duhh.. and uhh..someone who commented ..MJ IS A DUDE.so he dsnt count!!smh..

Carrie She always dresses terribly … Just because a person can afford high fashion doesn’t mean they look good in it! Penelope I loved Beyonce’s red carpet and award acceptance dresses. They were beautiful and unique. That’s so terrific about her winning 6 awards in one night. She’s an artist that really deserves it. Brenda Beyonce will be one of the best dressed on most lists. Her dresses were great. She’s a gorgeous woman that can wear almost anything, with that fantastic figure. ugly WOWWWWWWWWW Congratulations to u BK :) fernanda rhiana is so jealous… congratulations beyonce!!

JUST SAYING LAUREN HILL WAS THE PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: 5….MORE THAN 10 YEARS AFTER THE FACT NOT ONE OF THE WINNERS WILL HAVE THE “CLASSIC” ALBUM LIKE THE MISEDUCATION OF LAUREN HILL…NOT TAKING ANY SHINE FROM B OR TAYLOR, THEY ARE UNDOUBTLY TALENTED, BUT B IS MORE “TRENDY” WITH A FEW CLASSIC SONGS AND TAYLOR IS “POP/COUNTRY ICON” WILL WE BE SINGING EITHER OF THEIR SONGS 10-20 YEARSFROM NOW…I’M NOT SURE, BUT I DO LAUREN HILL IS STILL SETTING RECORDS! CELEBgator Beyonce looks super cute! Ty Looks like Swift fans are out in full force calling Beyonce names and degrading her—they do the same to Carrie Underwood–they just can’t stand it that these artists have amazing vocals and Swift is the worst singer out there in any genre. Carrie fans support Beyonce, GaGa and other amazing talents that are deserving. Glad that Beyonce won.

Swift released her record then re-released it 2 more times—that is not fair to the other artists that released their records 1 time only. Swift is so overrated and definately overexposed. I n F a m o u s l y C o o l @ Ms Anonymous : ….ahahahahahahahahahaha.. she does, doesn’t she?!? ahahahahahahahahahah.. she sucks so much she’s sold more records, won more awards, and made more money than anyone you’ve ever liked. ahahahahahahahahahahahaha… i know it hurts. listen…. hear that?! that’s the sound of haters heads exploding. ahahahahaha.. i love that sound. beyonce’s gonna continue to DOMINATE, deal with it. ahahahahahahahaha.. Neorules2112 Who cares , she is still a pig . annie Beyonce’s song was so boring to watch and listen to. I cannot understand why she always wins so many Grammy’s. Everyone in music is imitating the style of Lady GaGa. GaGa got totally ripped off and should have one more than anyone else, especially Beyonce.

She even sang Cheryl Crow’s song last night. WTF? Beyonce can never come up with her own style. One year she imitated Jennifer Hudson. This year, Lady GaGa. Rhianna is imitating GaGa too. Pink is just pathetic and so boring. Beyonce proves this award show is fixed and corrupt. She did not deserve all of the Grammy’s she got. Total b.s. Where was the talent last night? Allie Is it me or is it SO obvious that she and Rihanna hate each other? Beyonce is usually pressed up against all the people she takes pics with and I can drive my car through the space between her and Rihanna. Hilarious! Congrats to her! I would have been pissed if she won Album of the Year cuz I Am…Sasha Fierce SUCKED. But everything else was good. Good job Beyonce. umm For those of you that don’t know Alicia Keys had 5 grammys in one night Norah Jones had 5 grammys in one night Beyonce had 5 grammys in one night Last night Beyonce got 6 grammy’s in one night. The Most by a FEMALE ever. Regardless of what yahoo reports or any other news.

On Grammy’s website They have it listed as 6 Grammy’s. That’s the facts! brian Love Beyonce! Patrick Very proud of Beyonce. She deserves everything she gets, so super talented, hard working, and beautiful. What perfect way to end an era! Shush She looks great Tya You can take Beyonce’s dad off the judging panel, she’ll still rake in more than four grammies. Fact is people want appealing videos and she makes them. People want to her songs they can relate to and she sings them. Beyonce, Beyonce,Beyonce, BE-YON-CE! I’ve just noticed I have curves and legs like Beyonce. Hmn I rock! we both rock. i hate beyowhore @ Ty : I love taylor swift, AND carrie underwood AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE GAGA. beyoce is a self centered bitch, if she ever EVER did anything that wasn’t selfish i’d die of shock. it’s all about her! and her single ladies song, SUCKS BIG TIME. i can’t stand listening to the same verse 8000times, cause she couldn’t come up with nothing better.

she’s a Gaga wannabe because she always follows whatever’s better than her. u think swift is overrated and overexposed? what about beyonce? she’s EVERYWHERE, in EVERYTHING, butches EVERYONE’S songs, and EVERYONE kisses her ass, and she loves it. ugggh.. janie Beyonce is very talented. I did not like the blonde wig she had on. I also do not like the way she dresses. She has very fat legs so she should not be wearing short dresses. Go Ask Alice Beyonce is a talent. A real voice. Can write and produce. Can act. has evolved as entertainer. IlikeBeyonce. I thinkshe should her fee of 2 millionshe rec’d from Lybian govt. from Gaddaffi’s son from Gaddafi fcrom terriosts for a St.Barts private show to AmVets or Disabled Vets or toVet.s Hospitals. She has about 100milllion. Jay-Z has about 300million or more. beyonce wont’s even notice she got an extra 2 million there or lost 2 million. I like Beyonce. She needs to LEAVE THE STAGE now.

No press. No pics. No interviews.Ni awards shows.Nothing. Go away until Dec. 31.Yesterday was Jan.31. You have to leave to be missed. Byeonce is in overkill overexposed range now. Buh-bye if she is smart. Dani Congrats Queen B!!!…I’m on cloud nine right now that I can’t and won’t let the haters get to me, lol This era was AMAZING, U look and Sound AMAZING Last night!!!

The GRAMMYs' Biggest Nights | GRAMMY.com News The GRAMMYs' Biggest Nights A historical look back at the artists who have won six or more GRAMMY Awards in one night Photo: Chris Walter/WireImage.com February 13, 2012 -- 2:29 pm PST By Paul Grein / GRAMMY.com Full GRAMMY winners list Adele made GRAMMY history last night at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards. By winning six awards, she equaled Beyoncé's record for the most GRAMMYs won by a female artist in one night and Eric Clapton's record for the most awards won by a British artist in one night. Adele, 23, also broke Michael Jackson's record as the youngest artist to scoop up six or more of the coveted gramophones in one outing. Jackson was 25 at the time of his Thriller sweep. Adele is only the eighth artist in GRAMMY history to win six or more awards in one night.

Here's a list of the individuals who have accomplished this feat, arranged in chronological order: Roger Miller 8th Annual GRAMMY Awards March 15, 1966 The genial country singer/songwriter won six awards at age 30. That was the biggest GRAMMY sweep to that point. It remains the biggest sweep for a country artist. Five of the six awards were for Miller's country classic "King Of The Road," including Best Country & Western Song. The other award was for Best Country & Western Album for The Return Of Roger Miller. Miller died in 1992. Paul Simon 13th Annual GRAMMY Awards March 16, 1971 Simon won seven awards, breaking Miller's record of six. Then 29, Simon was the first person in GRAMMY history to win Album, Record and Song Of The Year in the same night. He won all seven of his GRAMMYs for Bridge Over Troubled Water and its classic title track. He shared five of the awards with his partner Art Garfunkel.

They won as artists, and also as co-producers of the album and single, and as co-arrangers of the title track, which was one of the first and highly acclaimed power ballads. Simon also won two awards for the song, which he wrote. Michael Jackson 26th Annual GRAMMY Awards Feb. 28, 1984 Jackson won eight awards, topping Simon's mark of seven. Jackson's bounty included Record Of The Year for "Beat It" and Album Of The Year for Thriller. Jackson, then 25, won vocal performance awards in three fields: Pop (Thriller), Rock ("Beat It") and R&B ("Billie Jean"). He also shared the award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical) with Quincy Jones. Seven of Jackson's awards were for Thriller. The eighth was for E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, which he recorded (with Jones) to accompany the Steven Spielberg blockbuster. The album was voted Best Recording For Children. Quincy Jones 33rd Annual GRAMMY Awards Feb. 20, 1991 The veteran artist and producer won six awards, including Album Of The Year for Back On The Block.

The album drew on Jones' unparalleled history in the music business. His awards ranged from Best Jazz Fusion Performance for a version of Weather Report's "Birdland" to Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group for the title track, on which he teamed with Melle Mel, Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee, and his son, Quincy D.

Beyonce and Swift were both eclipsed for record of the year by Tennessee rock band Kings of Leon, who were the surprise honorees for their pop-radio hit "Use Somebody." In winning album of the year, Swift broke a record held since 1996 by Alanis Morissette, who was 21 when she won for "Jagged Little Pill," an album with decidedly more adult content. Swift also was the first solo female country winner ever of the award, and the first female pop winner since Celine Dion won in 1997 for "Falling Into You." "I just hope that you know how much this means to me ... that we get to take this back to Nashville," said Swift. She also won the Grammy for best country album, and a pair of awards for her song "White Horse," female country vocal performance and best country song. Backstage, Swift told reporters that despite her crossover success in the pop field, she still considered country music her first love. "Country music is absolutely going to be my home because of the stories that are told within country music," she said. She was planning to catch a flight straight after the event to Australia where she is set to play a sold-out arena tour.

Her album has been certified gold or platinum in 16 international markets, her spokeswoman said. Kings of Leon, long more popular internationally, finally achieved mainstream success in the United States last year with "Use Somebody." Brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill also won a pair of Grammys in the rock field for the song, taking their career haul to four. Country combo the Zac Brown Band was named best new artist as expected. The Atlanta-based group becomes the first band to win the award since 2005. The popular concert draw released its debut album in 2004, but did not achieve national prominence until 2008 when it released its major-label debut "The Foundation," which peaked at No. 17 on the US pop chart. The televised ceremony was packed with diverse performances, since 100 of the 109 categories were announced during a low-profile ceremony earlier in the day. Mary J. Blige and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli earned a standing ovation for their version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," performed as a fundraising tribute to earthquake-ravaged Haiti. The song was scheduled to go on sale at iTunes immediately afterwards.

Swift dueted with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks for a version of the band's "Rhiannon." Two-time winner Lady Gaga performed with the almost-as-flamboyant Elton John. "I think she proved her point tonight that she's not just a costume freak," veteran shock-rocker Alice Cooper, one of Lady Gaga's sartorial inspirations, told reporters.

(January 31, 2010) (MIKE BLAKE / REUTERS) Mon., Feb. 1, 2010 LOS ANGELES–The 52nd Grammy Awards belonged to Beyoncé as the singer smashed the record for most trophies by a female artist in a single night.

The 28-year-old picked up a record six prizes Sunday, owning a ceremony in which a group of young artists helped put a fresh face on the greying Grammys. "Wow, thank you so much," Beyoncé said as she took the stage to claim her award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "I'm sorry, I'm nervous. I'd love to thank my family for all their support, including my husband, I love you. And I'd like to thank all of my fans for all of their support over the years, goodnight, thank you." Though Beyoncé was set to duel with 20-year-old Taylor Swift and 23-year-old Lady Gaga in all three of the Grammys' main categories, it didn't end up being much of a fight. Article Continued Below Swift did take Album of the Year for Fearless, and she took three other awards, including Best Country Album. But Beyoncé won Song of the Year for the omnipresent "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and brought her all-time Grammy haul to 16 awards.

She had previously been tied for most wins by a female at a Grammys with Lauryn Hill, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse. Gaga, for her part, wound up marginalized in non-mainstream categories, despite having logged five No. 1 hits in little more than a year. She took home Best Dance Recording for the still-ubiquitous "Poker Face" and Best Electronic/Dance Album for The Fame. If there was another upset to be witnessed during the evening, it might have been when Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" nabbed Record of the Year from Beyoncé. "Use Somebody" wound up winning in three categories by night's end, also notching Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Other three-time winners were Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, and the stubbornly massive Black Eyed Peas. Eminem and South Asian composer A.R. Rahman had two apiece. While Swift couldn't rival Beyoncé's haul, the songstress with the long golden locks seemed thrilled to win at all.

Hours after she won two awards during the non-televised pre-show (and held one of the trophies up, exclaiming in disbelief: "This is a Grammy!"), Swift climbed the Staples Center stage again to claim the prize for Best Country Album. "I just keep thinking back to when you're in second grade and you're singing at your talent show for the first time and people joke around and say: `Maybe we'll see you at the Grammys someday,' and that just feels like an impossible dream," said Swift, who had stood with her mouth agape for a few moments before summoning up an acceptance speech. Pink performed her contemplative piano ballad "Glitter in the Air" while suspended high in the air. Backstage, Pink said she was a gymnast for eight years and has been doing silks for seven years, and claimed in all seriousness that she's a better singer while flying around like a marionette. She admitted, though, that the strobe lights caused her to lose her balance for a moment. "I thought I was going to fall on my nude butt, but I worked it out," said the feisty singer.

It's the greatest show on earth."[On being a mother; giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter.]” “Whenever I'm out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don't want to take care of anything. I drop it. I'm relaxed. I don't have any shoes on.

No makeup.” “I feel that, especially now, with the internet and paparazzi and camera phones, it's so difficult to maintain mystery.” “One of the reasons I connect to the Superbowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.” “I think people have an idea in their heads about entertainers [and] celebrities. I think they feel like their lives are so perfect, and it's really hard to go through painful experiences when you are in the public eye because it's hard to have closure.” “The best thing is looking back and realizing how good life is.

At the end of the day, it's not about equal rights, it's about how we think. We have to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves.” “I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it. I am bored with that.

I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans.” “It's difficult being a woman. It's so much pressure, and we need that support sometimes.” Beyoncé Knowles Beyonce - Mini Biography (TV-14; 3:50) Beyonce Knowles catapulted to fame with Destiny's Child and went on to release Grammy award-winning solo albums and a film career with her star turn in "Dreamgirls."
