Adele Blew Up Twitter During The Grammys

The 2012 Grammys have come and gone, and for many people they will be remembered as Adele’s big night. She won a total of six awards on the night, including Pop Vocal Album, Pop Solo Performance, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and the most important Album of the Year award for “21.”
