I hope I spelled her name correctly. She performed her song earlier in the program, and she won the award for best new performer.

One thing that surprised me at the Grammy Awards is that even though many of the performers are black (or perhaps non-white would be more accurate) the program wasn't overrun with hip-hop and rap songs. There were several non-white performers doing country-western or traditional pop stylings, unlike previous years.

Beyonce won "Best Album of the Year" and those songs are all in the country-western genre. She was far from the only black performer to stretch the CW genre.
