Adele was nominated for four awards and took home artist of the year, song of the year (‘Easy on Me’), and album of the year (’30’).  When accepting the award for album of the year, Adele thanked her son Angelo and ex-husband Simon Konecki, “This album was all of our journey, not just mine.  I am very proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting an album out that was about something so personal to me because not many people do stuff like that any more.”
