Taylor Swift, The Civil Wars, and Alison Krauss and Union Station’s Paper Airplane earned two awards each last night in Los Angeles. Lady Antebellum won Best Country Album for the second year in a row.

Adele dominated the overall categories. She was honored with six Grammys, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year, tying the record held by Beyoncé for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in a single year.

During the live telecast from the Staples Center, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson sang their hit duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” and Swift offered her Grammy winning smash, “Mean.” Other Country acts who took the stage included Carrie Underwood with Tony Bennett, and Glen Campbell with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton.
