The evening was hosted by LL Cool J, who has won two Grammys in the past. This marks the rapper's fifth consecutive year as emcee of music's biggest night
Taylor Swift Wins Top Grammy Award, Kendrick Lamar Wins 5
Taylor Swift's official switch from country to pop with her multi-hit,
best-selling "1989" album brought the singer her second Grammy Award win
for album of the year.
Swift was shocked when she won the night's top prize, beating out
Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Alabama Shakes and the Weeknd. Swift
used her speech to encourage young women who feel defeated at times or
discouraged by others.
"There will be people along the way that will try to undercut your
success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. You just
focus on the work and don't let those people sidetrack you," she said.
