Beyoncé has broken the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time – totalling at 32 – after taking home four awards at the 2023 ceremony.
The R&B superstar, who won her first Grammy in 2001 as part of Destiny’s Child, took home awards for Best Dance/Electronic Album (Renaissance), Best Dance/Electronic Recording (Break My Soul), Best Traditional R&B Performance (Plastic Off the Sofa) and Best R&B Song (Cuff It).
In winning her 32nd Grammy award, Beyoncé overtook Hungarian-British conductor George Solti, whose record of 31 Grammys had previously stood for more than 20 years.
The award that broke the record was her win for Best Dance/Electronic Album for her critically acclaimed seventh studio album, Renaissance.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional and I’m trying to just receive this night,” Beyoncé said while receiving her historic Grammy for Renaissance. “I want to thank God for protecting me. I’d like to thank my uncle Johnny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.”
“I’d like to thank my parents, my father, my mother for loving me and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching.
"I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you.”
