Beyoncé became the most awarded artist in the history of the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 5, winning four new awards: Cuff It was voted Best R&B Song of the Year, while Plastic Off The Sofa won the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. His song Break My Soul won the award for Best Dance Recording of the Year. Renaissance, her seventh studio album, escaped the award for Best Album of the Year, which was won by Harry Styles. Harry Styles took the prize for Harry’s House, which also won the Grammy for Best Pop Album.
Beyoncé also won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album, making her the first black woman to win this award.
These four Grammys, bringing her total number of awards to 32 – one more than conductor Georg Solti in the 1990s – make her the most awarded artist at the Grammy Awards. A record. “I try not to get too emotional,” she said, thanking her parents, her “beautiful husband” Jay-Z, her “three beautiful children” and “the queer community”, which has always supported her.
