No one expected such a turn at the Grammy Awards: singer Adele refused the award for the best album of the year in favor of her colleague Beyoncé. The ceremony of presenting one of the most prestigious awards in the field of music took place last night in Los Angeles. British Adele became the absolute triumph this year: the performer not only won in the main nomination "Best Song of the Year" with her composition "Hello", but also won in four more nominations. And including in the prestigious category "Best Album of the Year" for his collection "25".
Her main rival, Beyoncé, who was also destined for “best song” and “best album”, had to be content with a more modest award - she was awarded the prize for “Best Video of the Year”. The star, who recently announced her pregnancy and appeared on stage with a noticeably rounded tummy, was clearly upset. But then the unexpected happened. Having accepted the statuette for the best album from the organizers, 35-year-old Adele burst into tears and said that Beyoncé was more deserving of the award than she was.
“Thank you very much, but I cannot accept this award,” Adele said into the microphone, addressing the audience. “I am very touched and grateful, but my ideal is Beyoncé. And the best album is her "Lemonade", it is monumental and very thoughtful. It is beautiful and has a soul. Beyoncé, you are our light.
The whole room at that moment had eyes in a wet place, and especially Beyoncé. Whispering "I love you" to Adele from the audience, the pregnant pop diva wiped away her tears.

Later, at a press conference, Adele once again emphasized that she considers Beyonce to be the real winner:
— As I said in my speech, the album of the year for me is Lemonade. I rooted for Beyonce with all my heart and felt that this time it was her time to receive the award. And what does she need to do to finally get this prize?
During the ceremony, another small incident happened to Adele: when she was awarded the statuette in the Best Recording of the Year nomination, the singer accidentally broke the golden gramophone in half. And she considered this extra proof that half of the prize belongs to Beyoncé.

If Adele's refusal of the award is officially recognized, this will be the second time in the history of the ceremony. In 1990, Irish singer and activist Sinead O'Connor withdrew from the Grammys, calling the award "a scam riddled with falsehood."
Recall, last week it became known that Beyoncé and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, are expecting twins. The singer shared the happy news on her Instagram, and in just seven hours her picture with a pregnant belly became the most popular in the history of the social network, collecting millions of likes.
