At the beginning of every year, all of our favorite celebrities put on their Sunday best (literally) and go to the Grammy Awards. Us little people are lucky enough to watch it on our TVs at home. This year's big winners were Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, The Black Eyed Peas, Kings of Leon and Maxwell. There were notable performances by Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Elton John, Green Day, The Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Dave Matthews Band, Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks, Bon Jovi, and a 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson by Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Smokey Robinson and Carrie Underwood.
Taylor Swift and Beyoncé dominated the Grammys this year. Swift won Album of the Year ("Fearless"), Best Country Album ("Fearless"), Best Female Country Vocal Performance ("White Horse") and Best Country Song ("White Horse"). Although Swift dropped and broke one of her Grammys at the end of the night as she was posing for a picture, it was still an extremely successful night-she beat out Beyoncé, The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and Dave Matthews Band for Album of the Year.
Beyoncé made history as she left with six awards, beating the record for most wins for a woman in one year. She won Song of the Year ("Single Ladies"), Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Halo"), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Single Ladies"), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance ("At Last"), Best Contemporary R&B Album ("I Am… Sasha Fierce") and Best R&B Song ("Single Ladies"). We were all thankful (maybe some of us disappointed) when Kanye West wasn't there to humiliate Swift as he did at the Video Music Awards when Swift beat Beyoncé for Album of the Year.
Kings of Leon won Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Rock Song for "Use Somebody." When Kings of Leon went to accept the award for Record of the Year, they admitted to having a couple drinks before hand. Luckily, their acceptance speech wasn't nearly as bad as Mariah Carey's drunken acceptance speech at the Palm Springs Gala. They were also nominated for Song of the Year, but lost out to Beyoncé.
