Sadly Hot Press cover star Jordan Adetunji left last night's glittering ceremony empty-handed but his time will come!
Beyonce's country music flirtation, Cowboy Carter, earned her Album of the Year and Best Country Album last night at the Grammys. Her genre-bending collaboration with Miley Cyrus, 'II Most Wanted', also won Ms. Knowles Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
There was also much cause for celebration in the Kendrick Lamar camp with 'Not Like Us' deigned to be Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Rap Song.
There was a big haul too for St. Vincent whose mantlepiece will now be graced by Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song ('Broken Man'), Best Alternative Music Album (All Born Screaming) and Best Alternative Music Performance ('Flea').
Chappell Roan's skyrocketing career was acknowledged with the Best New Artist gong.

Also enjoying a Grammy double-whammy was Sabrina Carpenter whose 'Espresso' won Best Pop Solo Performance and Short N' Sweet which was adjudged to be Best Pop Vocal Album.
A very good night was also had by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars whose 'Die With A Smile' earned them Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Charli XCX's Brat summer has turned into a Brat start to the year as well, with Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance/Pop Recording for 'Von Dutch' gongs heading back to the UK with her.
We were rooting for Belfast's Jordan Adetunji to bring home Best Melodic Rap Performance but, alas, the current Hot Press cover star's 'Kehlani' banger was pipped by Rapsody ft Erykah Badu's '3:AM'.
