By the end of the night Adele's victory for "25" seemed assured. She'd already earned song of the year and record of the year for "Hello," and bested Beyonce in pop solo performance.

Acknowledging the time off she'd taken to have a baby and stressing how difficult being a mother is, Adele added, "It took an army to make me strong and willing to do it again."

The victory eclipsed Adele's earlier performance stumble, in which she had to re-start her George Michael tribute.

Not that anyone cared. Adele's humility shone through, as always.

According to Grammy officials, Adele is the first artist to sweep album, record and song of the year twice.
