Adele swept the Grammys tonight, taking home the two biggest awards of the evening: Record of the Year and Album of the Year, which many thought would go to Beyoncé’s groundbreaking Lemonade album. Nobody was more surprised and overcome with emotion by this than Adele, who professed her love to Beyoncé while accepting both awards on stage.
“But I can’t possibly accept this award, and I’m very humbled and very grateful and gracious but my life is Beyoncé, and the album to me, the Lemonade album, Beyoncé, was so monumental, and so well thought out. And so beautiful and soul bearing and we all got to see another side of you that you don’t always let us see, and we appreciate that. And all us artists adore you. You are our light. And the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you. I always have. And I always will. Grammys, I appreciate it.”
As Adele cried on stage, a teary-eye Beyoncé began to cry from the front row, mouthing “I love you” to the ‘25′ singer. And then, we were all crying 🙂
