Beyoncé Reigns after breaking and setting Grammy awards
Beyoncé won four Grammy Awards to become the most celebrated performer in the awards show's history during an unpredictable ceremony that mixed the arrival of major new artists with repeat victories by Grammy favorites and surprisingly intimate performances with more familiar staged bombast.
By the time it ended, she had broken the record for the most Grammys won by a woman and any singer, male or female, with 28 — also tying the record with music impresario Quincy Jones as the living person with the most Grammys.
The winning streak started before the televised ceremony when Beyoncé and her 9-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter won the award for best music video award for the single, “Brown Skin Girl.”
Beyoncé and fellow Houston native Megan Thee Stallion also made history as the first pair of women to ever win the best rap performance with the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage.” The pair then went on to win for the best rap song for the same tune.
But it Beyoncé’s win for best R & B performance for “Black Parade” that put her over the top.
She said she was overwhelmed by breaking the record.
“I’ve been working my whole life, since 9 years old, and I can’t believe this happened,” she said.
The Grammy telecast included a brief salute to Beyoncé’s groundbreaking visual album, “Black Is King.”
