Adele won zondagnacht de belangrijkste Grammy Award van de avond, die voor Album van het Jaar, maar droeg haar speech op aan goede vriendin Beyoncé, die volgens haar met Lemonade de prijs had moeten winnen.

Haar winnaarsspeech richtte ze dan ook op Beyoncé:

'My artist of 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. All us artists adore you. You are our light.'

Na afloop deed Adele interviews voor de pers en ook daar vertelde ze nog maar eens hoé graag ze had gewild dat Beyoncé had gewonnen. Toen een journalist haar vroeg hoe het voelde om een record te hebben gevestigd om als eerste vrouw voor de tweede keer alle grote Grammy's van de avond te winnen - die voor Album, Plaat en Nummer van het Jaar - antwoordde ze met:

'Like I said in my speech, my Album of the Year is Lemonade. So, a piece of me did die inside, as a Beyoncé stan - not going to lie. I was completely rooting for her, I voted for her. I felt like it was her time to win. What the f--k does she have to do to win Album of the Year?'

Na de show sprak Adele nog met Beyoncé om over haar winst te praten:

'I spoke to her before just to let her know how honored and privileged I felt to be nominated alongside her, and we spoke afterward as well and she was very gracious and humble, as always, as we've come to expect, and the reason I felt the need to say something is because my album of the year is Lemonade. She is my icon of my whole life.'

Beyoncé won zondagnacht wel de award voor Beste Urban Contemporary Album en Beste Muziekvideo:

Adele onthulde verder na de show dat ze al sinds haar elfde fan is van Beyoncé en Destiny's Child:

'The way that I felt when I first heard 'No No No' is exactly the same as how I felt when I heard Lemonade last year. There are friendships I have that are completely tied to us being complete Beyoncé stans. I don't take any f--king s--t when it comes to anyone not liking Beyoncé. You can't be in my life. You simply can't.'

Hear hear!
