Hey M Girls!

Last night was one of the biggest nights in music, and if you were following our live tweets you know we loved the whole thing! Adele was the night's big winner, taking home a whopping 12 trophies, including "Top Artist" and "Top Female Artist". Just behind her was hip-hop duo LMFAO who won a total of six awards for their hit "Party Rock Anthem" -- wowza!

But that's not all! Justin Bieber took home the "Top Social Artist" award, while Taylor Swift was honored as "Woman of the Year" -- we love seeing our faves racking up awards! Plus, Katy Perry debuted a BRAND new song, "Wide Awake" and she sounded awesome!

Overall, it was a night of fun performances, celeb sightings and fab fashion (check back later for our special Billboard fashion blog.)

Even though it's only February, 2012 is already a he-uge year for One Direction. The boys just won their first major award -- the BRIT award, Best British Single for their hit, "What Makes You Beautiful"! Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Louis beat out several other British singers, including The Wanted, Jessie J and even Adele. Congrats, guys!

After the awards, the boys all took the time to tweet their big thank yous to all of the fans who voted for them -- such sweeties!

Hey M Girls!

Last night's Grammys were insane -- so many celebs, so many performances and so many awards! The big winner of the night was British singer, Adele, who took home six major awards including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, which you girls predicted!

Taylor Swift also had a huge night, taking home two awards for her song, "Mean" -- Best Country Song and Best Country Performance. Tay took the stage to perform her award-winning tune, and even changed up the lyrics to say: "Someday I'll be singing this at the Grammys." Way to go, T. Swift!

In case you missed it, check out Taylor's performance here:

Another performance that had people talking was Katy Perry's. Katy sang her tune "Part of Me" which seemed to be a direct message to her soon-to-be ex-hubby, Russell Brand. She sang: "So you can keep the diamond ring...It don't mean nothing anyway." Wowza!
