The new mum hugged Rihanna as she headed to the stage to collect her award and told the audience, "I just want to send big love to all of the other girls and all of us females doing this because we work so hard and we make it look so easy!"

Taylor Swift, already an pre-ceremony Grammy Award winner on Sunday, opened the show as the sexy ringmaster of a circus-themed set for her hit song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, while her new tour mate, British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, teamed up with Sir Elton John for a special duet on 'The A Team'.
