British singer Adele’s final win at the Grammy Awards 2017, capping a night of wins, was marked by a rare moment in which she kind of Kanye West-ed herself. The 28-year-old musician bested superstar Beyonce in what was touted as a clash of the titans – Beyonce, nominated for nine awards, competed with lost to Adele in the big three categories: Album, Record and Song of the Year. In her final (and fifth of the evening) journey to the podium, Adele deferred to Beyonce while making her speech. “But I can’t possibly accept this award. And I’m very humbled and I’m very grateful and gracious. But my artist of my life is Beyonce. And this album to me, the Lemonade album, is just so monumental. Beyonce, it’s so monumental,” Adele said, addressing Beyonce.
