Staples Center has never been livelier this year - thanks to the Grammy Awards 2017 winners.
The 59th Grammy Awards started off glamorously with both well-known and new music artists gracing the red carpet. Some of the most notable red carpet appearances include Rihanna, Adele, Katy Perry, and Solange Knowles, as reported by Glamour.
Beyoncé shined bright with nine nominations, including Album of the Year. Kanye West got eight nominations, along with Drake and Rihanna, while Chance the Rapper got seven nominations. But as the 2017 Grammy Awards wrapped up, Adele emerged as the brightest star with five awards - which includes three major ones: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and the much-lauded Album of the Year, according to Los Angeles Times.
Further detailed on NBC News, Adele unexpectedly broke her gramophone trophy into two after making a heartwarming acceptance speech in honor of Beyoncé - stating that it's all thanks to Bey that her black friends learned to stand up for themselves. Adele also stated that Bey is the artist of her life, further touching the hearts of the viewers, everyone at the event, and most especially - Beyoncé herself.
Now that's what we call "a night to remember."
