After the 2017 Grammy Award ceremony ended on February 13, photos of Adele holding two broken pieces of her award went viral. Soon articles started doing the rounds, claiming the singer had split her final award in two, the one she won for Best Album, to share it with Beyonce.
But did she, really?
Adele, emerged as a big winner at the 59th annual Grammys taking home major prizes. However, when she won Best Album, she declared that it truly belongs to Beyonce.
While accepting the honour, the 28-year-old star paid tribute to Beyonce, whose album 'Lemonade' was also nominated in the same category, saying the latter was a more deserving winner than her. "I can't possibly accept this award. The 'Lemonade' album was just so monumental, Beyonce. It was so monumental and well thought-out and beautiful and soul-baring... We appreciate that. All of us artists here adore you. You are our light," Adele said.
While photos show Adele holding a broken Grammy on stage, extending one half to Beyonce, a backstage video shows her exchanging it to get a new one.
The '25' songstress, who also won Grammys for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, said backstage that when she heard her name called instead of Queen Bey "a piece of me died inside", reported People magazine. "I felt like it was her time to win. What the f** does she have to do to win Album of the Year?"
Beyonce, 35, who was the front-runner in the race with nine nods for 'Lemonade', could only win in the two categories, including Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video.
