Beyoncé, Swift shine at Grammys
Pop diva Beyoncé became most decorated female artist at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, but she also shared the evening's spotlight with country ingenue Taylor Swift.
Beyoncé was the queen of the Los Angeles ceremony, setting a record by winning six Grammys for her album I am... Sasha Fierce and hit songs like Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).

Her voice wavering with emotion, she also thanked her fans and her family, extending the shout-out to husband — and another of Sunday night's multiple Grammy-winners — Jay-Z.
Beyoncé earned the televised show's first award of the night — song of the year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) — and turned in a spirited performance of her track If I Were a Boy and Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know.
Coming into Sunday with a leading 10 nominations, she was a dominant force even at the non-televised Los Angeles gala Sunday afternoon, where she won contemporary R&B album for I am...Sasha Fierce, best R&B song and best female R&B vocal performance for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) and traditional R&B performance for At Last, from the film Cadillac Records.
Previously, she had been among a host of women — including Alicia Keys, Alison Krauss, Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse — who had each taken home five Grammy Awards in a single year.
