Grammy Winners 2017: Adele against Beyoncé

Music’s biggest night may have felt a little less star-studded this year, with some notable absences in Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and Drake, but the 2017 Grammy Awards still brought us the glory of Bruno Mars’ Prince tribute and a pregnant Beyoncé just sitting. But despite Bey bringing down the house with a knockout performance, the night ended up belonging to Adele, whose 25 bested Lemonade in the high-profile categories of Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. Chance the Rapper also had a good night, snagging the coveted award for Best New Artist while also beating out Kanye and Drake to win Best Rap Album for Coloring Book.
