Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon win big at Grammys

Beyonce walked away the big winner from tonight's Grammy Awards, picking up a field best six awards.

In addition to picking up Song of the Year, she won awards in pop, contemporary R&B and traditional R&B categories. Next year she's also looking to dominate the country, hard rock and alternative categories, because apparently you don't have to commit to just one genre.

Taylor Swift was the night's other big winner, picking up Album of the Year, Country Song of the Year, Country Album of the Year, and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

Lady Gaga won the awards for Best Dance Recording for Paparazzi and Best Electronic/Dance Album. But for some reason producers didn't think to present these awards during the live broadcast, so we didn't get to see her crazy costume in motion.

I was super happy to see Kings of Leon walk away with the award for Record of the Year for Use Somebody, in addition to Best Rock Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocals and Best Rock Song.

AND, special congratulations to Phoenix for winning Best Alternative Album for Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.
