Beyoncé Sets Grammy Awards Record But Fails To Win Album of the Year

Beyoncé made Grammy Awards history on Sunday night following her win at the 65th annual award ceremony. However, she has yet to win the golden gramophone for the coveted album of the year category.

During the 2023 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won best dance/electronic album for her popular record "Renaissance." The award turned the 41-year-old singer into the most-awarded artist in Grammys history with a record 32 wins.

Earlier in the night, Beyoncé won best traditional R&B performance and best electronic dance recording for "Plastic Off the Sofa" and "Break My Soul," respectively. She also won best R&B song for "Cuff It" but was reportedly stuck in traffic, which resulted in guitarist Nile Rodgers accepting the award on her behalf.

Although the "Break My Soul" singer made Grammys history with her record-breaking award wins, some fans were outraged during the Sunday night ceremony when Harry Styles won the album of the year award for his record "Harry's House" over Beyoncé's "Renaissance."

The snub even resulted in outrage from an audience member. The guest, who later identified themself on Twitter as Ernest Owens of Philadelphia Magazine, yelled out Beyoncé's name during Styles' acceptance speech.

Throughout her career, Beyoncé has earned 88 Grammy nominations. Prior to her latest win, she was the most awarded woman but managed to beat out conductor Georg Solti, who previously held the title of most awarded artist.

Other big wins from the night included worship music group Maverick City Music, which won all four awards they were nominated for. The artists were trailed by Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, and Kendrick Lamar, who each won three Grammys.

Singer Kim Petras made Grammys history as the first transgender woman to win in the best pop duo/group performance category.

Meanwhile, actress Viola Davis also achieved EGOT status thanks to winning her first Grammy for her performance in the audiobook of her memoir, "Finding Me." Davis is now the third Black woman in history to achieve the honor.
