Grammy awards 2023: How Beyonce broke the Grammy record to become the most decorated artist

Beyoncé is now the most decorated Grammy artist of all time, winning her 32nd award for best dance/electronic music album. It’s clearly a very emotional moment for Beyonce as she says, “just trying to just receive this night.”

“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. “I’m just trying to receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God.”

The new Grammys GOAT, as Noah put it following her speech, thanked God; her late Uncle Johnny, a gay man who inspired her dancehall album Renaissance; her parents “for loving me and pushing me” and her “beautiful” husband Jay Z and three children.

In line with her shout-out to Uncle Johnny, she ended with thanks for the queer community “for your love and for inventing the genre.” Beyoncé has now collected 32 awards after she won for best R&B song for “Cuff It,” dance-electric music recording for “Break My Soul,” traditional R&B performance for “Plastic Off the Sofa” and dance-electric music for her seventh studio album “Renaissance,” which is also nominated for album of the year.
