Beyoncé set a new record at the Grammies,winning an impressive total of 32 awards. This year, she was awarded best R&B song, best dance/electronic recording, best dance/electronic album and best traditional R&B performance for the album Renaissance.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the 41-year-old told the audience in Los Angeles. “I’m trying to just receive this night.” She also thanked 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. “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 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. After winning last year, she had specifically pointed to Beyoncé’s Lemonade album in her acceptance speech.
