The Black Keys, fun. and Mumford & Sons dominate Grammy Awards

The Black Keys, fun. and Mumford & Sons dominated the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (10Feb13), sweeping up eight of the top honors between them.

The Gold on the Ceiling rockers were already double winners as they headed into the Staples Center in Los Angeles after El Camino was named Best Rock Album and Lonely Boy Best Rock Song in the early announcements prior to the main ceremony, where they added Best Rock Performance for Lonely Boy, while frontman Dan Auerbach picked up a Producer of the Year trophy.

Pop stars fun. were crowned Best New Artist and took home Song of the Year for We Are Young, but Mumford & Sons trumped both bands to claim Album of the Year for Babel at the end of the glitzy ceremony.

Record of the Year went to Gotye and Kimbra for their infectious Somebody That I Used to Know, which also earned the pair the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance trophy.

The awards show was full of hot performances and collaborations - Taylor Swift kicked off proceedings as the sexy ringmaster of a circus-themed set while belting out her Record of the Year nominee We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

Her new tour mate, British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, teamed up with Sir Elton John for a special duet on The A Team, while the Rocket Man also led the Zac Brown Band, Mumford & Sons, Alabama Shakes and T. Bone Burnett in a tribute to late The Band star Levon Helm.

The Black Keys rocked out with blues icon Dr. John and New Orleans' beloved Preservation Hall Jazz Band in memory of late jazz musician Dave Brubeck, and Bruno Mars, Sting, Rihanna, and Ziggy and Damian Marley came together for a show-stopping tribute to reggae legend Bob Marley.

Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z joined forces for the first TV performance of their new single Suit & Tie and the SexyBack hitmaker also debuted another track, Pusher Love Girl, on music's big night, while event host LL Cool J closed the show by returning to his rap roots and teaming up with Chuck D, drummer Travis Barker and Tom Morello for an explosive finale.
