After winning the award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, Beyoncé now holds the all-time record for most GRAMMY wins.
While George Solti had previously held that incredible honour, Queen Bey has now overtaken the classical conductor thanks in part to her powerful 2022 record, RENAISSANCE.
With 32 GRAMMY awards now in her trophy case — and the potential to add even more still to come this evening — the mega-star produced yet another unequalled GRAMMYs moment.
The record-tying award came early in the ceremony — so early in fact that Beyoncé had yet to arrive. The GRAMMY for Best R&B Song was instead accepted on her behalf, the legendary Nile Rodgers sharing his story of “CUFF IT” and offering words of thanks.
In fact, prior to this year’s ceremony even beginning, Beyoncé had already marked another record: tying her own husband, Jay-Z, as the most nominated artists in GRAMMY history.
When the time came for the record-setting GRAMMY win, Beyoncé herself was present, arriving on the stage to a standing ovation and an immeasurable wash of applause.
After thanking God and her family, she was sure to highlight a group that made a special impact on this record.
“I’d like to thank the queer community,” she smiled, crediting the early voices in the dance and electronic realm as well as her uncle Jonny, who inspired RENAISSANCE.
In host Trevor Noah’s eyes, the conversation about who is considered the GOAT to-be over, Beyoncé’s legacy is far from finished.
