American superstar, Beyoncé has broken records as she becomes the first person to win Grammys.
The singer made history during a historic evening in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
The singer, who was a late arrival at the ceremony after being stuck in traffic, won for best R&B song, best dance/electronic recording, best dance/electronic album, and best traditional R&B performance.
“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”.
Harry Styles picked up the biggest Grammy of the night, album of the year, for Harry’s House. “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 the 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.
