Taylor Swift may be reveling in the fact that she won the top Album of the Year prize at the 2010 Grammy Awards, held here in LA, CA last night, but the really major accomplishment goes to pop diva Beyoncé for winning 6 Grammy Awards … setting a new record for the most wins by a female artist in Grammy history. You may recall that Beyoncé took home 5 Grammy Awards on the strength of her debut album Dangerously In Love but those 5 wins tied her with Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse (who each won 5 awards in one night as well). Beyoncé‘s 6th win last night (Song of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)) put her over the top and into the Grammy record books:

Beyonce has set a record for the most wins by a female in one night at the Grammys as she won six awards, including best female pop performance and song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Beyonce was Sunday night’s top nominee with 10 nods. Her wins also included best contemporary R&B album for “I Am … Sasha Fierce.” Beyonce had previously been tied for most wins by a female at a Grammys with Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse … She won the songwriting trophy along with three writers for her omnipresent anthem “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” The superstar also won best R&B contemporary album for “I Am … Sasha Fierce” among her other awards, and still had the opportunity to win the evening’s remaining top award — album of the year. Beyonce wasn’t on hand to accept her early trophies: She was preparing for her dramatic onstage rendition of “If I Were A Boy,” one of several hits from her top-selling third CD.

Well, we know now that Taylor Swift ended up nabbing the Album of the Year award but Beyoncé really did make a killing last night. At least she was nice enough to share the wealth, not only with Swift but also with Kings of Leon (who won Record of the Year for their massive hit Use Somebody). I think Beyoncé has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with … here’s hoping the best is yet to come. I firmly believe she will enjoy future award show nights just as big (or bigger) as last night’s haul at the 2010 Grammy Awards. There is still a lot of Grammy stuff to talk about … we’ll get to that a little later in the day. But first, a question … who do you think had a bigger night last night … Beyoncé or Taylor Swift?

Kelly Clarkson, who just released the music video for her new single Already Gone, is spitting mad that folks think that she ripped off the music of her newest single from Beyoncé‘s hit single Halo … particularly because she is among the folks who can hear the striking similarity. In a new interview with CBC Radio, Kelly fumes about the fact that co-writer Ryan Tedder (from the band One Republic who penned Already Gone AND Halo) appears to have sold both ladies the same song with different lyrics … and she is pissed!

If you’ve noticed similarities between Kelly Clarkson’s new single “Already Gone” and Beyoncé’s hit “Halo,” well, you’re not the only one. Turns out Clarkson has also noticed, and she’s not too happy about it. In an interview with Canada’s CBC radio network, the former “American Idol” champ said she was unaware of any similarities between her song and Beyoncé’s “Halo” until she heard the two songs side by side (according to Clarkson, her All I Ever Wanted album was finished before Beyoncé’s I Am … Sasha Fierce was released). And she’s not mincing words about who she blames for the similarities: OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote both songs. “Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. He’s from Oklahoma, I’m from Texas; we got along really well and had some of the same influences,” Clarkson said. “We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I’d never heard of a song called ‘Halo’ … [Beyoncé's] album came out when my album was already being printed. “No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinkin’ ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to,’ ” she continued. “No, they’re just gonna be sayin’ I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’ ” “Gone” and “Halo” do share some striking similarities, most notably in the backing track, which features somber piano, crashing drums and hand-claps. Clarkson — who clashed with her label in the past — said that she’s upset that “Already Gone” was released as a single without her blessing, but that, at this point, there’s really nothing to do about the situation. “It sucks, but it’s one of those things I have no control over,” she told the CBC. “I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It’s kind of a shitty situation, but … you know, you learn.” At press time, a spokesperson for Tedder had not responded to MTV News’ request for comment on the situation.

To be honest, I didn’t immediately notice the similarity between the songs when I heard them both separately … at different times. But since the release of Kelly‘s new single, I thought it sounded very familiar … and then the handclaps cued me in to the Halo recognition. Shoot, if I were her … I’d be pissed, too … especially since despite the fact that Kelly‘s album was finished first, Halo was released months ago well ahead of the release of Already Gone. Methinks Mr. Ryan Tedder has got some ‘splainin’ to do. After the jump, check out the music videos for both Kelly Clarkson‘s Already Gone and Beyoncé‘s Halo for a side-by-side comparison …

Yesterday a sound clip was making the rounds on the Internets that claimed to be a soundboard recording of Beyoncé singing screeching along to a backing track when she performed on The Today Show after the release of her latest album I Am … last year. While the clip was RIOTOUSLY hilarious, it turns out that it was a fake clip altered to make Beyoncé sound bad. Last night, Beyoncé made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote her new movie Obsessed (which opens in theaters tomorrow) and to perform her new single Halo LIVE. Here are a few pics of Beyoncé making her arrival at the CBS Studio in NYC yesterday:

I’m sure Beyoncé was anxious to perform so that she could dispel the validity of that fake recording. In case you missed it, you can find a link to the clip HERE … I ain’t gonna lie, it’s funny as hell — fake or not. After the jump, check out video of Beyoncé performing Halo …
