The most notable performer of this generation is Beyoncé. This is a fact. This is indisputable. There is no other artist who even comes near her level of perfection. She is beauty, grace and stamina beyond anything we could ever imagine. Do you know what else Queen Bey is

She is the most decorated female in awards history after she surpassed Alison Krauss’ record of 27 Grammy wins this past weekend.

Her accolades – Best R&B Performance for ‘Black Parade’, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for ‘Savage’ with Megan Thee Stallion, and Best Music Video for ‘Brown Skin Girl’ – meant she now has a total of 28 Grammies.

Accepting Best R&B Performance and breaking the record, she said: “I’m so honoured. I’m so excited…

“I can’t believe this happened, it’s such a magical night.”

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift became the first woman to win Album of the Year three times after accepting the honour for ‘Folklore’, and H.E.R. was a surprise winner of ‘Song of the Year’ for ‘I Can’t Breathe’.

Harry Styles – who won his first Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance for ‘Watermelon Sugar’ – kicked off the musical performances at Los Angeles’ Convention Center – with a shirtless rendition of ‘Fine Line’, while other performers included Taylor, Billie, DaBaby, and Dua Lipa.

Megan and Cardi B were widely credited for stealing the show with a raunchy performance of their controversial single ‘WAP’, which had many of its lyrics bleeped out, and BTS recreated the entire Grammy Awards set for their performance of ‘Dynamite’, which was filmed in Seoul, South Korea.

Trevor Noah hosted the socially-distanced event, which largely took place outside the Convention Center.
