She was humble enough to accept the album of the year award for the “25”, and paid homage to Beyoncé and said, “ The ‘Lemonade’ album is monumental, so monumental, so well-thought-out, so beautiful and soul-baring”.
Adele’s hit single “Hello” collected the best song award which recognises songwriting and record of the year.
