Swift, Beyonce make history
Los Angeles: Country-pop starlet Taylor Swift, who rocketed to stardom with ballads of teen love that she wrote on her bedroom floor, Sunday became the youngest artist to win the coveted Grammy for album of the year.
Swift, who turned 20 in December, took home four awards after being nominated eight times. She had never previously won any Grammys. The fresh-faced singer, known for her blonde curly mane, had been expected to dominate the music industry's top awards. But she was overshadowed by R&B singer Beyonce, who won six awards including song of the year — the most won by a female artist at a single event.
Beyonce won song of the year — a songwriters’ award for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It). The anthemic hit also yielded Grammys for R&B song and female vocal performance. —Reuters
