Meghan Trainor gets emotional at Grammy Awards
Singer Meghan Trainor, who won the golden gram ophone for the Best New Artist category at the 58th annual Grammy Awards here, broke down in tears while accepting the trophy. “I have to thank L.A.

Hosted by hip-hop artist LL Cool J, the awards gala took place here at the Staples Center on Monday. (IANS)
