Taylor Swift Wins Grammy for Album of the Year
She didn't have a single Grammy before Sunday night, but after the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift walked away with four trophies.
"I just hope that you know how much this means to me," Swift said as she accepted the Album of the Year award. She added, "This is for my dad, thank you for all those times that you said I could do whatever I wanted to do with my life."
Swift's "Fearless" also scored Best Country Album and the single "White Horse" earned Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.

The "Halo" songstress earned a total of six Grammys 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.
Beyoncé's six wins are the most by a female in one night in the Grammys' 52 years.
