Beyonce, Swift Highlight Grammy Awards


LOS ANGELES - Beyonce became the most decorated female on a Grammy night as she collected six trophies, including song of the year, but it was another diva - Taylor Swift - who nabbed the top honor, album of the year.

Swift won a total of four awards. Although Beyonce also lost out on record of the year, which went to the Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody," the entertainer still owned the most awards of the evening.

The Kings of Leon were a bit more entertaining when they picked up their record of the year trophy, the family quartet's third of the night.

"I'm not going to lie, we're all a little drunk. But we're happy drunks," said lead singer Caleb Followill.

Swift, who was second to Beyonce in Grammy nominations with eight nods, also won best country album among her other awards. Another country act to take a top award was the Zac Brown Band, which won best new artist.

The Black Eyed Peas also had three trophies, as well as Jay-Z, who won for best rap solo performance and two awards for "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West.

Many participants in the program wore red cross buttons in support of Haiti earthquake relief.
