The three big prizes at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards went three different ways Monday night, with Taylor Swift's "1989" album winning the biggest of them all: album of the year.
"As the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success," she said in her acceptance speech. "But if you focus on the work, someday when you get when you're going, you'll know it is you and the people who love you who put you there."
Record of the year went to "Uptown Funk," Mark Ronson's song that featured Bruno Mars on vocals.
Ed Sheeran won song of the year for "Thinking Out Loud."
Kendrick Lamar, who led all artists with 11 nominations -- one short of the record set by Michael Jackson in 1984 -- came up empty in the big categories, but did win best rap album for "To Pimp a Butterfly" among his honors.
