The story

The singer Taylor Swift has won this year's album of the year Grammy for 1989 during the lavish awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

She's the first female artist to win that award twice.

James Cook - BBC News

Taylor Swift opened the show and by the time it ended she had three Grammys, including album of the year, for 1989.

She told young women in the music business to persevere and take credit for their own talents.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, who blends soul, jazz and hip hop, won five awards. His performance featured black men breaking free from their chains.

Record of the year went to British producer and DJ Mark Ronson for his collaboration with Bruno Mars on Uptown Funk.

Having waited four years to win one Grammy, English singer Ed Sheeran went home with two for performing and songwriting.
