And The Grammy Winners Are…
The Grammy Awards took place in Los Angeles, California, Sunday evening. What seemed like a televised concert was a huge award winning night for 22-year-old pop artist Sam Smith, who won four Grammy Awards. The night was also filled with surprises, meaningful performances, jokes, and almost another “I’m gonna let you finish” interruption by Kanye West when Beck won Best Album over Beyoncé.
