FULL LIST: Adele trumps ‘idol’ Beyonce to win top three Grammy awards

Adele Adkins looks up to Beyonce Knowles like none other in the American music industry but it was the former that shone like a million stars on Sunday at the Grammy Awards 2017.

Winning the top three categories – Best Album, Best Record, and Best Song – for the hugely successful album, 25, Adele inked her name among music greats of all time.

Beyonce, pregnant with twins, went into Sunday’s awards show leading with nine nominations but only won two awards.

Adele won five awards in total, most notably the top three categories where Beyonce was also nominated.

While receiving her plaque for Album of the Year, Adele tearfully said the award should have gone to Beyonce, whom she described as “the artist of my life.”

“My queen and my idol is Queen B. I adore you,” she said.
