Female performers including Beyonce and Taylor Swift had a record-making night at the 2021 Grammy Awards, a jam-packed but socially distanced show highlighted by live music sorely absent during the pandemic era.
Four women won the top four prizes Sunday, including Swift, who became the first female performer to win album of the year three times. Beyonce with her 28th win became the most decorated woman in Grammy history.

KAHULUI Floodwaters returned to Maui on Friday and Saturday, capping nearly a week of ominous rain that first pummeled Haiku and later struck Kahului, inundating roadways, shuttering parks and damaging property.
Deanna Lei Frendo, a Kahului resident whose family home off Aleo Place is in a flood area, said the flooding was bad years ago during a hurricane but the rainstorm Friday and Saturday surpassed that.
