Beyonce Becomes Most Decorated Artiste In Grammy’s History 

Popular singer, Beyoncé has made history by becoming the most decorated Grammy musician of all time after she picked up her 32nd gong in a glittering ceremony where singing sensation Tems emerged the first female singer from Nigeria to win a Grammy.

Beyoncé made history as she won the best dance/electronic music album award for her latest album Renaissance.

This took the number of Grammys she has won during her two-decade career to 32 – one higher than the previous record which was held by the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti.

Meanwhile, the biggest gong of the night – album of the year – went to Harry Styles for his third album Harry’s House, beating both Beyonce and Adele.

Beyonce, who announced earlier this month she would be embarking on her first global tour in seven years, was late to the Los Angeles ceremony, missing her first award of the night – Best R&B Song. Nile Rodgers accepted the honor on her behalf as he was one of the writers of the track.

However, she was in the audience at the Crypto.com Arena when it was announced she had won best dance/electronic music album – taking her wins to the record-breaking 32. Taking to the stage, she said: “I’m trying not to be too emotional, I’m trying to just receive this night.”

In reference to her album, which drew on the history of LGBTQ culture, she added: “I’d like to thank the queer community – you invented the genre.”

She thanked her husband Jay-Z, their children, Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir, and her late uncle Jonny, who she said introduced her to queer dance music. “[He is] not here but he is here in spirit,” she said.

The award was presented by British TV host James Corden, who said it was an “honour” to be given the duty. “We are witnessing history tonight,” he said.
