DHAKA: Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ has won the coveted album of the year award at this year’s Grammys in Los Angeles.

The singer, who is the first woman to win the award twice, also won best pop vocal album and best music video for her track ‘Bad Blood’, reports the BBC.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar won the most prizes on the night with five awards.

British singer Ed Sheeran also won his first two Grammys for song of the year and best pop solo performance for his number one hit Thinking Out Loud.

A surprised Sheeran beat Lamar, Swift, country group Little Big Town and Wiz Khalifa to the song of the year accolade.

‘We wrote (the song) on a couch in my house. Thanks to my parents who’ve flown to the Grammys every year for the last four years and every time I lose I say ‘maybe next year’,’ he said as he collected the award.

‘If you’d told my 11-year-old self I would receive an award from Stevie Wonder I’d be chuffed.’
