The Grammy Awards went down last night! Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter won Album of the Year. Even though she’s won the most Grammys ever, it’s the first time Beyoncé has taken home the Grammys top honor. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” took home the awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Maine’s OWN Amy Allen won Songwriter of the Year, becoming the first woman to ever do so! Incredibly proud of her.
