Everyone\u2019s eyes were glued to their television sets Sunday night to watch the biggest stars gather at the Los Angeles Staples Center for the 59th annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

The night featured memorizing moments such as Beyonce\u2019s ode to her \u201cLemonade\u201d Album, which won Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video.<\/p>\n

Beyonce, who truly stole the night, performed in an outfit made of gold surrounded by colorful robes, wearing a radiant halo with a stage covered in flowers that some are considering was an imitation of the biblical Virgin Mary while singing, \u201cLove Drought\u201d and \u201cSandcastles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyonce\u2019s daughter, Blue Ivy, also made her debut at the event singing \u201cSweet Caroline\u201d in a rendition of Carpool Karaoke with Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Keith Urban, Neil Diamond, Jason Derulo, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.<\/p>\n

Adele took home multiple wins Sunday, but still acknowledged Beyonce as the biggest winner of the night, deserving every award that Adele won.<\/p>\n

Adele took home Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance.<\/p>\n

In Adele\u2019s congratulatory speech, the singer thanked her competitor saying, \u201cMy dream and my idol is Queen Bey. I adore you,\u201d the British singer told Beyonce through tears. \u201cYou move my soul every single day and you have for nearly 17 years and I adore you. I want you to be my mommy and I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adele insisted that Beyonce deserved the honors more than she did and said, \u201cI was completely rooting for her, I voted for her, I felt like it was her time to win. What the f*** does she have to do to win album of the year?\u201d<\/p>\n

The night was a celebratory win for more than just Beyonce and Adele, Chance the Rapper took home three Grammy\u2019s: Best Rap Album, Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance.<\/p>\n

Chance the Rapper made history Sunday by prompting the Grammys to change its rules so that streaming-only projects, such as his 2016 \u201cColoring Book\u201d, were eligible for consideration. But the relative newcomer beat out competition to win three awards, including Best New Artist. He became the first male solo rapper to ever win that category.<\/p>\n

Other artists took home the golden award with David Bowie winning Best Rock Song and Best Alternative Music Album, Cage the Elephant with Best Rock Album, Drake winning Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, Solange winning Best R&B Performance, Maxwell winning Best R&B Song and Lalah Hathaway winning Best R&B Album and Best Traditional R&B Performance.<\/p>\n

A Mississippi native even took home an award for Best Traditional Blues Album.<\/p>\n

Jackson native and blues legend, Bobby Rush, won his first Grammy Award at the age of 83.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a happy, happy man. I wish y\u2019all was here with me now, but since you\u2019re not, I\u2019m sharing this with you, I love you,\u201d said Rush.<\/p>\n

The 59th Grammy Awards, which was hosted by first time host James Cordon, aired Sunday, Feb.12 on the CBS Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
