Correction
This correction is way overdue, guys.
Rihanna actually won TWO Grammys this year. Along with the Best Rap/Soung Collaboration, she also won the Grammy for Best Rap Song for the same song Run This Town.
And we gotta shout out to Trini-born Heather Headley who won the Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album for her work on Audience Of One.
So both Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago were winners this year!
