With 32 victories, Beyoncé on Sunday became the artist with the most Grammy awards in history.
The 65th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was a music awards ceremony held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5, 2023.
Beyoncé makes history with most Grammy wins of all time
The Grammy recognizes the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year, running from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022.
Beyoncé broke the record when her album “Renaissance” won best dance/electronic music album — making her the first Black woman to triumph in the category.
The singer broke conductor of classical music Georg Solti’s record of 31 Grammys, which had existed since 1998, with her fourth trophy of the 2023 ceremonies.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” said the star, accepting her prize.
“I’m trying to just receive this night.”
She went on to thank her family, including her late uncle Jonny, who helped make her stage outfits before she became famous.
Beyoncé has previously said his battle with HIV influenced her interest in dance music, and its historical ties to the LGBTQ community, on Renaissance.
Overall, Beyoncé won four prizes at the ceremony – but missed some of the early presentations after getting stuck in gridlocked downtown Los Angeles.
“I’m surprised traffic could stop you,” joked host Trevor Noah. “I thought you travelled through space and time.”
