Adele in an emotional mood
Adele won the coveted Album of the Year award, beating out Beyoncé’s Lemonade. She was visibly emotional as she took the stage to accept her Grammy, first thanking her team and her family, and then, in a surprising move, dedicating her win to her fellow musician Beyoncé.

The 59th annual Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Adele won the top three Grammy awards on Sunday, taking home the statuettes for album, record and song of the year in a shock victory over Beyonce. Adele won all five Grammys for which she was nominated, including for her comeback album “25” and her single “Hello.” Beyonce, who had gone into Sunday’s awards show with a leading nine nominations for her “Lemonade” album, won just two.
“My queen and my idol is Queen B. I adore you,” Adele said to Beyonce as she accepted her award. “The ‘Lemonade’ album was so monumental,” she added.
Beyonce and Adele also had the most talked-about moments on a night marked by political statements, an emotional tribute to British pop star George Michael, and a rocking memorial to pioneering funk musician Prince.
