Country stars Lady Antebellum represented at Sunday's Grammy Awards.The six-time nominees collected five awards, including record of the year and song of the year, for their megahit "Need You Now." That would prove hard to top.
Meanwhile, Arcade Fire bested Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum (pictured), Katy Perry and Eminem, winning the biggest honor, album of the year, for The Suburbs.
Ten-time nominee Eminem picked up best rap album for Recovery last night. "Okay, this is crazy," he said as he received an ovation. "Thank you to the fans."
In another unexpected choice, jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding was named best new artist despite strong competition, a.k.a. Justin Bieber and Drake.
Six-time nominee Lady Gaga offered an aerobic performance of "Born This Way" early in the show, then won best pop vocal album for The Fame Monster.
She also arrived in an egg, from which she hatched onstage. Seriously.
British rockers Muse won best rock album for The Resistance, and singer Matthew Bellamy gave a shout-out on stage to pregnant girlfriend Kate Hudson.
