Bey made history at last night’s 65th Annual Grammy Awards by nabbing four new golden gramophones. In total, her Grammy wins now amount to 32—breaking the all-time record for the most-awarded musician in Grammys history.
“I ‘m trying not to be too emotional. I ‘m trying to just receive this night,” the singer said during her acceptance speech last night. “I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God. I’d like to thank my Uncle Jonny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.”
She also expressed her gratitude to the queer community, who heavily influenced her seventh studio album, Renaissance.
“I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre,” she continued. “Thank you so much to the Grammys.”
Following close behind Bey is Georg Solti, the late Hungarian British conductor who previously held the title, and Quincy Jones. Below, a brief rundown of Beyoncé’s wins, as well as Jones’s and Solti’s legendary careers.
Beyoncé: Broke the record for the most-awarded artist in Grammys history with 32 wins
The singer picked up four awards at last night’s ceremony, bumping up her total number of Grammy wins ever to 32. At the 2023 Grammys, she won in the categories of Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best R&B Song, Best Dance/Electronic Recording, and Best Traditional R&B Performance.
She won her first-ever Grammy as part of Destiny’s Child in 2001; the group won two Grammys that night: one for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and another for Best R&B Song, both for “Say My Name.”
Beyoncé also currently holds the title for the most Grammy-nominated artist ever. With 88 nominations now under her belt, she ties only with her husband, Jay-Z.
