Beyoncé has now captured more Grammy awards than any other artist, thanks to a quartet of trophies for her album RENAISSANCE. Two-thirds of the way into the evening’s live telecast, she won her fourth award of the year for a total of 32 in her career, shattering the record for the most Grammys of any artist in the prize’s 65-year history.
Coming into this year’s awards, Beyoncé already owned 28 Grammys as a lead artist, and had garnered nine nominations this year. She hit the new record just after 7 PM PT, when she won best electronic/dance music album. She cried upon taking the stage, saying, „I’m just trying to receive this night.“ Later, she gave credit to her forbearers and inspiration, adding: „I would like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing the genre,“ referring to the house music that grounded RENAISSANCE.
