The 2017 Grammy Awards is over and it was definitely a night to remember as the biggest and hottest musicians such as Adele, Beyoncé and Drake all gathered to grace the occasion. Of course, they are also there to vie for the music industry's highest honor at the 59th annual awards show.
The Grammy Awards gave out a total of 84 trophies to deserving recipients on Sunday night, Feb. 12 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The ceremony was also broadcast live worldwide.
Since giving out all the awards will take too long, only the major awards were televised and the minor ones were presented before the show started. Singer adele was the big winner of the night as she bagged two of the major awards including the Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her song "Hello."
Adele was visibly reluctant when she accepted her 2017 Grammy awards since she thought Beyonce is more deserving to win for her "Lemonade" track. When the English singer went up the stage for her Album of the Year Award for 25, her acceptance speech was very humble.
"I can't possibly accept this award," The Guardian quoted Adele as saying. "All us artists here adore you (Beyonce). You are our light. And I love you. I always have and I always will."
At the end of the ceremony, Adele walked out of the Staples with a total of five major awards. Below are some of the winners for major awards:
Album of the Year went to Adele for "25," Record of the Year and Song of the Year was won by Adele for "Hello" as well. The British singer won the latter with record producer Greg Kurstin. Adele also won the Best Pop Solo Performance for "Hello" and Best Pop Vocal Album for "25."
Beyonce received the Best Music Video for "Formation" and Best Urban Contemporary Album for "Lemonade." On the other hand, Drake won the Best Rap/Sung Performance for his "Hotline Bling."
Chance the Rapper was given the Best New Artist award while Twenty One Pilots took home the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Stressed Out." Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin, Willie Nelson earned the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and The Chainsmokers got the Best Dance Recording award for "Don't Let Me Down" [ft. Daya].
