2016 Grammy Winners: Full List of Winners and Recap of the Awards Show

It was an all-star gathering for Monday night's 58th Grammy Awards, which was hosted by LL Cool J. The ceremony was an evening of stunning performances and tributes, and as always, had its fair share of criticism from fans.

"Between honoring our musical legacy and recognizing music's power to reflect and impact our cultural legacy, fans truly had a chance to witness greatness on this year's Grammys," a press release following the event said. 

Taylor Swift, whose performance of "Out of the Woods" kicked off the ceremony, took home the coveted album of the year award for her 1989 — her second album of the year Grammy. Swift dedicated her speech to "young women out there." Still, some on the internet felt the Grammy hould have gone to Kendrick Lamar and his album To Pimp a Butterfly. (The two won the best music video award together for their angry anthem "Bad Blood.")
