2011 Grammy Winners Photo Gallery
The 2011 Grammys may have been Gaga’s show, but people actually won some awards, too. Biggest shocker (maybe?) was unknown songstress Esperanza Spalding making enemies with a nation of Justin Bieber fans by taking Best New Artist. And Lady Antebellum winning pretty much everything else. Here’s a good chunk of the winners, and photos from many of the performances.
