Baku. Ulker Gasimova-APA. The 52nd Grammy Awards belonged to Beyonce as the singer made history by smashing the record for most trophies by a female artist in a single night, APA reports.
The 28-year-old picked up six prizes Sunday, owning a ceremony in which a group of young artists helped put a fresh face on the greying Grammys.
Taylor Swift was one of the few to interrupt Beyonce’s run on the podium. The 20-year-old won four awards including the evening’s biggest prize: album of the year. But despite Swift’s stunning victory, the night belonged to Beyonce.
She won song of the year for the omnipresent "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and brought her all-time Grammy haul to 16 awards.
She had previously been tied for most wins by a female at a Grammys with Lauryn Hill, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse.
The Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z and Kings of Leon had three trophies Sunday while Gaga, Kanye West, Rihanna, Maxwell, Eminem, Jason Mraz and Bela Fleck were among a group of two-time winners.
Lady GaGa took two awards - best dance recording for Poker Face and best electronic/dance album for The Fame. But she missed out on the major prizes.
