Queen Bey officially took her seat atop the musical throne on Sunday night.
After being announced as the winner for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (for “Renaissance”) at the 2023 Grammys, the artist set the record for the most Grammy Award wins EVER by a singer.
She has taken home 32 of these trophies in total.
In an emotional speech, Beyonce gave a special shout-out to her family, her kids and the queer community in particular.

“Thank you so much,” the superstar said as she opened her acceptance speech.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God.”
She continued:
“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.”

Beyonce concluded her speech with a special shout-out to the LGBTQ community, to whom she gave credit for the dance/electronic music genre as a whole.
“I’d like to thank the queer 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 Grammys record holder was Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti… who had long held the mark at 31 Grammy Award victories.
Solti was well known for leading orchestras across Europe before holding the post as music director at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 22 years.
“Beyonce has done it, everybody!” host Trevor Noah said following her emotional speech on Sunday.
“”She now holds the all-time record for the most grammy wins, so we can finally end the GOAT debate. It’s done now. Who’s 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.”
Beyonce is on stage here as part of her popular Netflix special, Homecoming.
