Adele performs during the 54th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2012 in Los Angeles.
With six awards, Adele has matched Beyonce for most Grammy wins in a night by a female act.
Adele's six wins Sunday night include album, record and song of the year. Beyonce set the record two years ago.
Adele was shaking as she won album of the year, almost in tears as she held the award.
Adele's "21" was 2011's best-selling album. It has sold more than six million units in the United States.
The night's other big winners were Grohl's Foo Fighters, who won five Grammys. Justin Vernon's band, Bon Iver, beat Nicki Minaj, The Band Perry, J. Cole and Skrillex for best new artist.
Among the evening's entertainment were performances by Chris Brown, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Jennifer Hudson, who sang a tribute to Whitney Houston .
