Swift, who won four Grammys, was the night's most visible winner. She beamed during her duet with Nicks, and seemed thrilled in her two acceptance speeches
-- while staying poised enough to thank her record company for letting her write her own songs, and express pride at bringing the album of the year prize to Nashville. "This is for my dad," she said. "Thank you for all the times you said I could do whatever I wanted to do." Beyonce was low-key during her one time onstage to accept her sixth trophy of he night, for best female pop vocal on the ballad "Halo." She offered thanks to her fans for their support. Stagecraft was smooth; Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, hit in the head by a falling curtain, calmly brushed it aside without missing a note. Host Stephen Colbert followed the new model of awards show hosts: coming out in the beginning for a handful of jokes then disappearing
-- except to accept a Grammy of his own, for his surrealistic Christmas musical. He bemoaned the absence of Susan Boyle from Grammy night. "You may be the coolest people in the world," Colbert said, a barely amused Jay-Z looking on, "but this year your industry was saved by a 48-year-old Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes." ___ On the Net:
