The Grammy this year crowned Taylor Swift queen bee as
her “1989” took the Album Of The Year
award at the 58th Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday
night. She also won two other Grammys in the
category of Best Music Video for “Bad
Blood” and Best Pop Vocal Album for “1989”.
Swift pointed out in her speech that she is the first
woman to win Album Of The Year twice and added: “I want to say to all the young
women out there – there are going to be people along the way who are going to
try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your
fame.”
Kendrick Lamar was the next big star of the night as he won
four trophies earned. Those awards were Rap Album Of The Year for “To Pimp a Butterfly”, Rap Performance
And Rap Song Of The Year for “Alright”,
Rap/Sung Collaboration Of The Year (with Bilal, Anna Wise and Thundercat) for
“These Walls” — and Best Music Video for “Bad
Blood”.
Lady Gaga took up to the stage to pay tribute to David Bowie
was a hectic mash-up of his most famous hits done in full glam rock regalia.
Indian-British director Asif Kapadia registered a win
in Best Music Film section for his documentary “Amy”.
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing night for Adele as
her anticipating performances was met with sharp criticism. Many claimed that
the Grammy award winning singer sounded flat, although reports claim that it
was because of technical errors.
At the end of the night, Kendrick was the most
decorated artist with five awards. He was followed by Alabama Shakes (Best Rock
Performance and Best Rock Song for ‘Don’t
Wanna Fight’ and Best Alternative Music Album for ‘Sound & Color’) and Taylor Swift both with three wins each.
