Beyonce makes history at the 65th annual Grammy Awards.
The 65th annual Grammy Awards took place tonight at Crypto Arena in Los Angeles, California last night, and Queen Bey makes history at the event. Beyonce was the most nominated artist this year with 9 nominations, and she took home four awards.
Beyonce won Best dance/electronic album for “Renaissance“, Best R&B song for “Cuff It”, Best dance/electronic recording for “Break My Soul”, and Best traditional R&B performance for “Plastic Off the Sofa”. She has now broken the record of most Grammy Wins by any artist, with 32 wins, surpassing the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who had 31 awards.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional. And I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said. “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.” “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing this genre.”

Beyoncé’s tribute to Black and LGBTQ dance music, “Renaissance,” triumphed over albums by Bonobo, Diplo, Odesza, and Rüfüs du Sol. With this win, Beyoncé made history as the first Black woman to receive recognition in the dance album category, a category that has been in existence since 2005.
Bey also celebrated the feat through a post on Instagram. “To my Hive, thank y’all so much for all of your love and loyalty! Big thank you for the BREAK MY SOUL and CUFF IT wins!!! To The Dream, Tricky, HOV, and Big Freedia. I love y’all!,” she wrote. “Syd, I’ve always been such a fan of yours. Thank you. Nova Wav, Morten Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq, and Nile Rodgers, thank you for pouring into CUFF IT.”
“Big thanks to Sabrina Claudio, Nick Green and Patrick Paige II. PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA is my favorite song on RENAISSANCE most days. It’s hard to pick though. Haaa. It feels great to be honored for the vocal performance. Thank you to all the talented vocalists who killed those beautiful TikTok renditions! I feel very grateful and filled with joy!”
