52nd Grammy Awards Cheer Taylor Swift And Beyonce

Surprised as usual, Taylor Swift received her "Album of the Year" and three other Grammy trophies on Sunday. Diva as usual, Beyoncé reigned the night for making Grammy history with six awards.



Taylor Swift's Fearless album received the night's top prize as "Album of the Year." It also won "Best Country Album." Her song White Horse also won "Best Country Song" and "Best Female Country Vocal." Earlier during the show, she performed her song Today Was A Fairytale. "I did not see it coming tonight. This was a beautiful, beautiful surprise," she would tell reporters later.

Beyoncé made a historic night by winning the most awards by a female artist in one night. The Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) anthem was hailed as "Song of the Year" and gave the singer "Best Female R&B Vocal" and "Best R&B Song" wins. Her At Last song also won "Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance" while I Am... Sasha Fierce won "Best R&B Contemporary Album." After winning "Best Female Pop Vocal for Halo, Beyoncé commented "This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammy's."

Aside from various amazing performances, Andrea Bocelli and Mary J. Blige also sang a rousing rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of its big Grammy wins, the song lent its voice to Haiti. The performance would be available via iTunes with funds going to earthquake relief.

The 2009 Grammy Awards Winners

Some say this year's Grammy Awards was picture perfect, with majority of Hollywood's famous recording artists came dressed in "safe" glamorous gowns and black/white/gray men's wear.


Fashion critics were looking for funky, fresh flavor and they seemed to be disappointed by the perceived Red Carpet monotony.

Except for Rihanna who was a no-show at the awarding night following the arrest of boyfriend and fellow recording artist Chris Brown on domestic violence charges (some even speculated that the unnamed female who made the charges was Rihanna herself!), there was not much "news" to talk about.
