Beyonce

After 88 career nominations, the superstar won her fourth trophy of the 2023 awards, giving her the record for most Grammy victories.

I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre. I’d like to thank my parents — my father, my mother — for loving me and pushing me. Nominated nine times overall on Sunday, mostly for “Renaissance” and its songs, Beyoncé will have a chance to add to her total with the top categories still to come: song, record and album of the year, a prize she has never won despite three previous chances. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children, who are at home watching. [Beyoncé’s official Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTgYsmLl7G/) celebrating her wins so far: “We won 3 y’all,” the caption read, alongside a photo of the singer with a trio of trophies. Alison Krauss, the bluegrass singer and violinist who was nominated twice on Sunday but lost both awards, has 27, as does Chick Corea. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Beyoncé became the first Black woman to win in the dance album category, which has been awarded since 2005. I’d like to thank my Uncle Jonny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit. Solti, a Hungarian-born conductor who was the previous leader, won his last award in 1998, the year after his death. “I’m trying not to be too emotional, and I’m trying to just receive this night. “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre,” the singer said.

He said: “When I got called to play on this song, it was the most organic thing that had happened to me. All eyes were on the Lemonade singer tonight as she led with nine nominations, including nods for song, album, and record of the year.

An Adele win for song of the year for her track Easy on Me would make her the most decorated artist in the category with three wins, the others coming for her megahits Hello and Rolling in the Deep. There could be many other firsts during the ceremony: If Bad Bunny wins album of the year for Un Verano Sin Ti, it would be the first time a Spanish-language album has taken home the top honour. Noah hosted the ceremony as well, which saw Jon Batiste take home album of the year. The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said “I just EGOT” after she marched on stage to collect her award. If she wins in any of those major categories, it'll be her first since since she received the song of the year honour for Single Ladies in 2010. “It’s rock ‘n’ roll, man,” said a smiling Carlile, who jogged on stage with a couple of her band members. "I wrote this book to honour the 6-year-old Viola, to honour her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. Tattered streetwear, T-shirts and denim mixed with blinged-out couture, wild patterns and plenty of skin on the Grammys carpet. … I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve in order to make this. Once Beyonce finally arrived, Noah presented her with the best R&B song award at her table which included her husband Jay-Z and The-Dream. During the in memoriam segment, the Grammys recognised the lives of Loretta Lynn, Migos rapper Takeoff and Christine McVie with several star-studded performers paying them homage. I wouldn’t be here without her and her support.”

Beyoncé has already won three prizes at this year's Grammy awards and is now tied as the most-awarded artist in Grammy history.

The singer took home four awards in a night that also saw major wins for Kendrick Lamar, Adele and Harry Styles.

The Dr Dre global impact award was awarded to Dr Dre himself in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. “Music isn’t just the harmony of sound but the harmony of human beings,” he said.

I don’t know what to say,” a visibly stunned Raitt said, adding that the song Just Like That explores organ donation. Thank you.” She has released two albums as a lead artist and also won the Grammy for best jazz vocal album earlier in the night. A who’s who of hip-hop royalty took the stage for an epic, rousing 15 minute tribute to the genre’s 50th anniversary. Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Swift and Beyoncé to win the song of the year award. The New Yorker was virtually in tears when she collected the award and noted that her little brother was her date. Host Trevor Noah said she was on her way to the ceremony but blamed Los Angeles traffic for not being in person to accept it. “I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said after her historic win as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. “It feels like validation that you’re on the right path,” said the singer backstage.

[Bonnie Raitt](https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/a-conversation-with-bonnie-raitt-plus-public-enemys-chuck-d) took home Song of the Year, for “Just Like That,” presented by Jill Biden, and Lizzo took home Record of the Year. “You clearly are the artist of our lives.” [Harry Styles](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/notes-on-hollywood/is-harry-styles-a-movie-star) looked a bit stunned as he accepted the night’s final award, for Album of the Year, for “Harry’s House.” “I think, on nights like tonight, it’s obviously so important for us to remember there’s no such thing as ‘best in music,’ ” he said. The ‘ [Lemonade](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/05/30/beyonces-lemonade)’ album was so monumental.” Song for “Cuff It,” a highlight from her 2022 album, “ [Renaissance](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/15/beyonces-renaissance-shocks-some-life-into-a-culture-gone-inert),” she tied with the conductor Georg Solti for the highest number of Grammy wins. When [Adele](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/adele) won Album of the Year over Beyoncé, in 2017, there was such a sense of cosmic injustice that Adele herself could not bear the result. Like Adele, Lizzo was compelled to use the end of her stage time to state the obvious: “Thank you so much,” she told Beyoncé. Bad Bunny—who won in the Música Urbana Album category but was otherwise snubbed, despite his global dominance—kicked off the show with an electrifying tribute to historical Latin genres, offering up a maximalist version of his merengue-minded single, “Después de la Playa.” It was such a dynamic performance that This was the overt story line of the evening, but the louder subtext was the question of whether the Recording Academy was finally prepared to give Beyoncé the major awards. When the performance wrapped, the cameras found Jay-Z, who was shooting a finger gun in ecstatic celebration. It was the sort of thing that could have come off like a PowerPoint presentation. [Trevor Noah](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/how-the-daily-show-squandered-the-opportunity-that-was-trevor-noah), worked overtime this year to remind the audience of the Grammys’ respect for her towering greatness, and the historic nature of the evening. [Beyoncé](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/beyonce) found herself once again achieving an awkward status within the universe of the Recording Academy.

Racism, sexism, fuddy-duddyism: They're all reasons why the winningest artist in Grammy history lost album of the year yet again, this time to Harry Styles.

Because she gathers so many collaborators to help execute her plans, voters seem stubbornly unwilling to accept Beyoncé as the auteur in control of her music — a vexing if hardly novel problem running along both race and gender lines. But if she doesn’t need the Grammys, the Grammys need her: Overnight ratings for Sunday’s telecast were up 30% from 2022, a jump attributable at least in part to the suspense surrounding Beyoncé’s opportunity to break the all-time record. Nor do a growing number of intrepid Black artists — Drake, Frank Ocean and the Weeknd among them — who’ve decided the Grammys’ values don’t align with theirs. But “to ensure music creators are voting in the categories in which they are most knowledgeable and qualified,” as the academy rules put it, members can vote on only 10 of the dozens of more specific awards (such as R&B performance), and all 10 of those must be within no more than three genres. After all, Beyonce’s latest loss comes amid a larger historical context, which is that a mere three Black women — Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill — have won album of the year in the Grammys’ 65 years. Lose the trailblazers and you risk losing those who come behind them. All 11,000 or so of the academy’s voting members are allowed to vote in the Grammys’ four general categories of album, record and song of the year and best new artist. This explains the cognitive dissonance stemming from the fact that Beyoncé is both the most-awarded artist in Grammys history and a trendsetter who keeps getting robbed. That’s a clear distortion of Black women’s importance in pop music that undermines the Grammys’ role as a record-keeping enterprise. But with its intricate weave of samples and interpolations, it’s also structurally daring in a way that obviously triggered the academy’s suspicions about “real music” — suspicions foreshadowed in the Grammys’ pretelevised ceremony when Beyoncé’s longtime collaborator In fact, of the 32 Grammys that Beyoncé has collected over the last two decades, only one — one! [Beyoncé lost the award for album of the year](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-02-02/grammys-2023-beyonce-renaissance-album-of-the-year) to “Harry’s House” by Harry Styles.

The Tennessee State University Marching Band was the first college marching band ever nominated for best roots gospel album, and it won with “The Urban Hymnal.” Kendrick Lamar won three rap prizes: best performance and best song, for “The Heart Part 5,” and best album, for “Mr. For an industry that has lately gotten worried about the difficulty minting stars amid the fire hose of content in the age of streaming and social media, this year’s list of nominations was about as good as it gets. The prize was chosen by what the academy described as a “blue-ribbon committee.” Raitt, 73, was the surprise winner of song of the year — beating Adele, Beyoncé, Swift, Lizzo and Styles, whose songs were huge hits — for “Just Like That,” a tender meditation about an organ donation that had only modest commercial success. “Harry’s House” also won Styles the award for pop vocal album. Accepting her 32nd career award, Beyoncé thanked God and her family, and honored her “Uncle Jonny,” a gay relative whom she has described in the past as her “godmother” and as the person who exposed her to L.G.B.T.Q. The power of stardom was another of the night’s major underlying themes. “I hope that there’s a future where gender and identity and all these labels don’t matter that much,” Petras told reporters backstage. “You clearly are the artist of our lives!” she shouted. She had been the most nominated artist of the evening, with nine nods. But she was once again shut out of the major categories, winning all four of her prizes for the night in down-ballot genre categories.

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

In a controversial upset, Harry Styles won the 2023 Grammy Award for album of the year over Beyoncé. And the BeyHive is not happy about it.
