- Beyoncé became the woman with the most wins in Grammys history.
- She won four awards on Sunday, bringing her lifetime total to 28, one more than Alison Krauss.
- She is tied with Quincy Jones as the two living artists with the most Grammys.
Beyoncé is now the most-awarded woman in Grammys history.
The 39-year-old superstar was the most-nominated artist at the 63rd annual ceremony on Sunday. She won four of her nine nominations, bringing her lifetime total to 28. Country singer Alison Krauss previously held the record with 27 wins.
Beyoncé won best music video for "Brown Skin Girl" and best R&B performance for "Black Parade." She also received two trophies — best rap performance and best rap song— for her feature on Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage."
"As an artist, I believe it's my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times, and it's been such a difficult time. So I wanted to uplift, encourage, and celebrate all the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world," she said during her acceptance speech for best R&B performance.
"This is so overwhelming," she added. "I've been working my whole life, since 9 years old, and I can't believe this happened. This is such a magical night."
Beyoncé is now tied with superproducer Quincy Jones as the two living artists with the most Grammys.
She would have overtaken him if "Savage" won record of the year, but the hit song lost to Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted."
Although she has never won record or album of the year, the show's top prize, Beyoncé has triumphed in another "Big Four" category: song of the year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" in 2010.
The "Lemonade" singer has also won best contemporary R&B album three times and best urban contemporary album twice — a category that has since been renamed to "progressive R&B."
Watch: Billie Eilish just won International Female Solo Artist at the BRIT Awards. Here's how she incorporates ASMR into her music.
