Beyoncé is officially the most-awarded Grammy artist of all time after her win for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for her iconic Renaissance album!
At Sunday’s (Feb. 5) 65th Grammy Awards, Queen Bey reminded everyone why she earned that title when she broke the record for most Grammys with 32 total wins over her entire career.
She surpassed late classical conductor Georg Solti, who had 31 Grammys. Solti’s last win was in 1997.
Previously, Bey was tied with music legend Quincy Jones with 28 awards.
Now, after sweeping the 65th ceremony, she’s not only the most awarded artist ever but is also the first Black woman to win the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album award and the third Black person to ever win the category.
Plus, Beyoncé is already the most-nominated female artist of all time, with a whopping 79 Grammy nominations to her name. She’s also tied with Adele for most wins in one night by a woman, with six.
Luckily, despite seemingly being late to the big night, Beyoncé was at the show in person to accept the legendary award. Earlier in the night, she was notably missing when her song “CUFF IT” nabbed the award for Best R&B Song.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional, and I’m trying to just receive this night,” Queen Bey said when she accepted the award from presenter James Corden.
“I wanna thank God for protecting me,” she continued. “I’d like to thank my Uncle Johnny, who is not here. But he’s here in spirit. I’d like to thank my parents, my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children, who are at home watching.”
She also added, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre.”
Beyoncé also won the Grammy awards for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “Break My Soul” and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Plastic Off The Sofa.”
Many fans celebrated the singer’s historical night online, calling her “the greatest artist dead or alive.”
