The Grammy Awards are awarded annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States for outstanding achievements in the music industry. Often considered the highest music honor, the awards were established in 1958.

In 2012, Adele became the second female artist to win six awards in one night. Adele is only the second artist, following Christopher Cross, to have won all four of the general field (Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year) awards throughout her career. In 2017, she became the only artist to, on two separate occasions, win the three general categories (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year) in the same ceremony.

Adele has received fifteen awards from eighteen nominations.

55th Annual Grammy Awards[]

Although Adele's single "Skyfall" was released too late to be included as a possible nominee for a Grammy, she received a nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance for a live version of "Set Fire to the Rain." She went on to win the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for the second year in a row. She also served as a presenter for the Album of the Year award, presenting it to Mumford & Sons for their album Babel.

56th Annual Grammy Awards[]

In December 2013, Adele and Paul Epworth were nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media for "Skyfall." Although "Skyfall" won the award, neither of them were able to attend. This was Adele's tenth Grammy.

58th Annual Grammy Awards[]

Adele returned to the Grammy stage at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. Although she was ineligible for any awards being that her last album, 25, was released after the eligibility period, she did perform. Despite confirmation from Columbia Records that she would perform "When We Were Young," her then-current single, she reportedly made a last-minute change, instead opting to perform "All I Ask."[3] The performance was introduced by Bruno Mars, who co-wrote the song with Adele. The performance received a mixed response from viewers due to technical issues that occurred, most notably a "guitar sound" that Adele later clarified was caused by a microphone falling onto the piano strings. Adele was later praised for powering through the performance in spite of the technical difficulties, which she addressed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show later in the week.

59th Annual Grammy Awards[]

Adele received five nominations for the 2017 Grammy Awards, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year. Although her music video for "Hello" was submitted for Best Short Form Music Video, it was not nominated. Adele opened the awards with "Hello" and later paid tribute to George Michael with a cover of his song "Fastlove." During her tribute to George Michael, she restarted the song, stating, "I can't mess this up for [George]."[4]

The ceremony marked the second time Adele swept the Grammys, winning all three general field categories again and making history. "Hello" won the awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, while 25 won the awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. During her acceptance for Album of the Year, she praised Beyoncé's album, Lemonade, which was also nominated, and confirmed her marriage to longtime boyfriend Simon Konecki.
