Queen Bey officially took her seat atop the musical throne on Sunday night.
After being announced as the winner of Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (for “Renaissance”) at the 2023 Grammys, the artist tied the record for most Grammy Awards won by a singer.
He has named a total of 32 of these trophies.
In an emotional speech, Beyoncé made a special shoutout to her family, her children, and especially to the gay community.
The superstar began his acceptance speech by saying, “Thank you very much.”
“I’m trying not to get too emotional. I’m trying to get through this night. I want to thank God for saving me. Thank you God.”
He continued:
“I want to thank my Uncle Johnny, who is not here. But he is here in spirit. I want to thank my parents – my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me.
“I want to thank my beautiful husband, my three beautiful children who are watching at home.”
Beyoncé concluded her speech with a special shout-out to the LGBTQ community, which she credited to the dance/electronic music genre as a whole.
“I want to thank the gay community for your love, and for inventing this genre,” she said on stage.
“God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you.”
The previous Grammy record holder was Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti … who had won 31 Grammy Awards for a long time.
Solti was well known for leading orchestras across Europe before taking up the position as Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 22 years.
“Beyoncé’s done it, everybody!” host Trevor Noah said after his emotional speech on Sunday.
“” She now holds the all-time record for most Grammy wins, so we can finally end the GOAT debate. It’s done now. Who is the goat?
“It’s Beyoncé. It’s done. It’s not LeBron, it’s not Jordan, it’s not Tom Brady, it’s not Messi. It’s done. It’s officially done.”
