The 2021 Grammys, held Sunday night in Los Angeles, were a celebration of female artists, with Beyonce breaking a record for most amount of awards ever won; Megan Thee Stallion winning best new artist; and Taylor Swift taking home Album of the Year for 'Folklore.'

During her acceptance speech, Beyonce said, "As an artist I believe it's my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times and it's been such a difficult time. So I wanted to uplift, encourage and celebrate all of the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world."

Comedian Trevor Noah hosted the show, and Harry Styles led with the first performance. 

Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Chris Martin of Coldplay also performed.
