Beyoncé picks up record six awards at the Grammy Awards 2010
It was Ladies’ Night at the Grammy Awards as Beyoncé scooped six awards – a record for a female artist.
The R & B superstar, who won five awards in 2004 for her debut album Dangerously In Love, went one better this year.
And she would have won seven awards if her husband Jay-Z had not beaten her in the rap/sung category.
He ended up with three Grammys overall, taking his career haul to 10. While Beyoncé’s career tally rose to 16, including three with her former group Destiny’s Child.
The Single Ladies singer had ten nominations and walked away with trophies for Song Of The Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Contemporary R&B Album.
‘This has been such an amazing night for me,’ she said.
‘I’d like to thank my family including my husband, I love you,’ she added, referring to rapper Jay-Z
Beyoncé later gave a typically energetic performance as she hit the stage with her hit If I Were A Boy.
But the 28-year-old missed out on the album of the year, after Taylor Swift became the youngest artist to win the coveted Grammy.
