2010 Grammy Awards Winners
The Grammys took place Sunday Night January 31 at 8p ET from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It was ladies’ night at last night’s Grammy Awards. Beyonce‘s nickname is Queen B, but last night it could have been Queen G, as she took six awards, including Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” That’s the most trophies garnered by a woman in a single night in the show’s 52-year history.If Beyonce was Grammy‘s queen, Taylor Swift was the night’s princess, taking four awards, including Album of the Year for Fearless – even if she struggled to stay on key during her performance with Fleetwood Mac‘s Stevie Nicks. Here are the winners:
Beyonce took home six; Taylor Swift won four. Black Eyed Peas, Kings of Leon and Jay-Z each won three.
