Queen Bey officially took her seat on the musical throne on Sunday night.
After being announced as the winner for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (for “Renaissance”) at the 2023 Grammys, the artist set the record for the most Grammy Award wins by a singer.
He has brought home 32 such trophies in total.
In an emotional speech, Beyonce gave a special shout out to her family, her children and the queer community.
“Thank you very much,” the superstar said in his opening acceptance speech.
“I’m trying not to get too emotional. I’m trying to accept this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, Lord.”
He continued:
“I want to thank Uncle Johnny, who is not here. But he’s here with passion. I want to thank my parents – father, mother, for loving me, and pushing me.
“I want to thank my beautiful wife, my three beautiful children at home watching.”
Beyonce concluded her speech with a special shout out to the LGBTQ community, which she credits for the dance/electronic music genre as a whole.
“I want to thank the queer community for your love, and for creating this genre,” he said on stage.
“God bless you. Thank you so much for the Grammys. Thanks.”
The previous Grammy record holder was Hungarian-English conductor Georg Solti… who has long held the mark of 31 Grammy Award wins.
Solti was well-known as a leading orchestra across Europe before holding the post of music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 22 years.
“Beyonce is done, everyone!” host Trevor Noah said after his emotional speech on Saturday.
“” He now holds the all-time record for most grammy wins, so we can finally end the GOAT debate. It’s over now. Who is the GOAT?
“It’s Beyoncé. It’s over. It’s not LeBron, it’s not Jordan, it’s not Tom Brady, it’s not Messi. It’s over. It’s officially over.”
