Yes, black sister queens!!!! Congrats!
If I was rih I would not show up they trying to humiliate her when she told CBS f*** you and cancel her performance last time out of nowhere
Yuss Adelephant ?????????????????????????????????????
Solange should’ve got more nominations! But I’m still happy for her, she’s had a great year.
I agree, Solange have made major sound waves threw out the neo soul word,,I love that chic,,glad they finally recognize good music..GO SOLANGE
Congrats to The Knowles sister’s! Poor Frih, even Best Packaged Recording was snatched from her. LMFAOOO
But what about the r&b award that was snatched from beyonce?
What about it? She has 21 Grammys, the Queens just letting the lessers have their shine.
If you’re gonna point out the awards rihanna lost then point out the ones beyonce lost too not just the ones she bought.
@ hail legend WHATEVER… you guys thought she would dominate this show and got the surprise of your life
She will never ALBUM OF THE YEAR
her music is not as UNIVERSAL as you think
Adele album was more successful … Beyonce fans are so delusional
Adele is not a lesser artist… She has sold more records than Beyonce… #facts
@Hailtrash Why Are You So Negative? Get A Life Bish You Live On Tgj Way Too Much Fat Doritos Bish Kiii!!!!!!!!!!!!
Says the bum b**** that has like 8463737 troll accounts.
What are you shading exactly?
.
Beyonce may have won one but she’s also lost 4 thus far.
.
Rihanna has lost 3.
.
There is no saying that any of them will win anything big.
.
Like, damn.
The hive is so pathetic. Trying to point out rihannas lossses when their idol has lost several
Lol She Lost 3 Sweetie Not 4 And Has 5 More Catagories To Go…
Hilarious that Rihanna hasn’t won anything… shocking that Bey was robbed. As long as she gets that AOTY.
that will neve happen
kudos to queen bey & sista solange. The knowles are the best. Also I heard there is going to be a lot of surprises tonight and one of the people at the grammys hinted at tinashe performing tonight for an new artist spotlight performance. Watch that 1 tina stan hype up now kii
so did beyonce buy her sister’s award too?
Obviously.
She didn’t buy ALBUM RECORD OR SONG OF THE YEAR
@gina b**** shut up!!! Hating ass!
Been a long time coming…congrats to the legendary Ms.Brenda Russell. ❤
Yaaaaaaaas
He picture of JT and that banana lol
the beehive might wanna fall back with hating on rihanna when beyonce is getting snatched left and right so far lmao
Meanwhile Rihanna…..
meanwhile beyonce, lost out on 4 so far…
What has Rihanna won sis?
The fact that Hotline Bling won in two RAP categories is a MESS. Especially over Ultralight Beam…
Literally every other song in those two categories were more justified to win. Hotline Bling winning anything bigger than an AMA, maybe a billboard award, is a joke.
Adele is gonna sweep once again ugh.
YASS BISH YASSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F Beythief
Congrats to the Knowles sisters. Mama Tina must be proud.
I Wanted Remy Ma To Win!! ????
The Grammys are going exactly the way I thought they would actually. So far the wins have matched my predictions. I always knew I was psychic. And I knew Solange was snatching that award. Now her and Bey both walked away with No. 1 albums and a Grammy on the side in the same year. Anyways, I’m interested in seeing how the rest of the show turns out. So far I have not been surprised.
P.S. Drake is a mediocre “artist” who is more suitably described as a popstar rather than a rapper. Mess.
If the Grammys gives this fool and his noise, Best Rap Album…
Adele will probably sweep again,I don’t see Beyonce winning but one more and that’s ifffy.I think Rihanna will win record of the year.
Those other artist in the R&B Album and Traditional R&B Vocal Performance categories were robbed!My goodness they were robbed!
I think it’s more likely that Rihanna will win pop/duo. Adele might be taking record of the year. 25 was garbage so I don’t see any reason why that should win AOTY over anyone, let alone Beyoncé. But I can see why Hello would win.
I Don’t Think Beyblade Should Win Any Awards Tonight Especially For Album Of The Year. That Album Was Such A Kii. If The Ramen Noodles Headed A** B*tch Does Win Then The B*tch Needs to Give All Her Grammys To The People That She Has Stole Content From.
You mad?????
Yes I am B*tch. I Am Mad That She Always Has A Copyright Infringement Notice Sent To Her With Every Album The Yellow B*tch Releases.
Weren’t you just complaining about negativity? Or does the energy only bother you when it’s coming from the opposite direction?
The only other award Beyoncé will win is Best Urban Contemporary Album
YOU
WERE
CORRECT
Congrats Knowles sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone got a stream to watch (UK here, not shown until tomorrow night)
WELP!!! BEYONCÉ ENDED ALL OTHER PERFOMANCES TONIGHT!
Bey is legendary! That is all
Nice and wish their little sister And brother come too
