Before the main telecast of the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards was officially kicked off on Sunday, February 13, a number of accolades have already been handed out. During the pre-show ceremony, it was unraveled that Rihanna and Jay-Z were two of the early winners presented with their kudos.
Barbadian singer Rihanna grabbed a hold of Best Dance Recording for her "Only Girl (In the World)" single. She bested Lady GaGa's "Dance in the Dark". Expressing her excitement after the win, she tweeted, "CONGRATULATIONS #RihannaNavy!!!! We won a Grammy for BEST DANCE RECORDING!!!Only ho in the woooorrrrrlllldddd!!!!"
While she managed to nail the award, the 22-year-old singer fell short on nailing two other kudos. She and collaborator Eminem, who were vying for Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for hit duet "Love the Way You Lie", has to admit defeat to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind".
Jay-Z himself added his Grammy collection this year with a win on Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, which he shared with Swizz Beatz. Meanwhile, Eminem won Best Rap Solo Performance for "So Afraid", and Lady GaGa nailed Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Bad Romance".
The Black Keys took home an award for Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. It best over the likes of Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon. In the meantime, pop newcomer Bruno Mars defeated Michael Jackson and John Mayer to secure the kudo for Male Pop Vocal Performance.
