Beyonce becomes the most-awarded artist in Grammy history.
During a historic evening in Los Angeles, Beyonce became the most-awarded artist in Grammy history.
Beyonce, who now has 32 trophies overall, became the most-awarded artist on Sunday night, the 5th of February, after taking home four awards.
The performer, who arrived late to the ceremony due to traffic, took home awards for best traditional R&B performance, best dance/electronic album, best dance/electronic recording, and best R&B song.
She is the musician with the most awards in history thanks to her 32 Grammy wins.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the 41-year-old said on stage after winning the record-breaking prize for dance/electronic album. “I’m trying to just receive this night.” She also paid tribute to both her “beautiful husband” and the “queer community for their love and for inventing the genre”.

The entrepreneur, who was born in Houston, Texas, has also become the musician with the most nominations, 88, in history, and she could be announced tonight as the ultimate winner of the gramophone, surpassing luminaries such as Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Aretha Franklin.
Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, widely known as Tems on Sunday night clinched her first Grammy award. Tems, who collaborated with Drake on Future’s song “Wait for You,” received the award for best rap melodic performance. Additionally, the song received a nomination for Best Rap Song.
With his album of the year wins for Harry’s House, Harry Styles received the biggest Grammy of the evening.
“I’ve been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me,” he said winning out over Beyoncé and Adele. “I think on nights like tonight it’s so important to remember there is no such thing as best in music … this doesn’t happen to people like me very often.” He also won the award for best pop vocal album.
Adele won best pop solo performance for Easy on Me, her sixteenth Grammy to date. “I really was just looking forward to coming tonight,” she said at the start of a brief but emotional acceptance speech that saw her choke up when talking about her son.
