‘Thanks for loving and pushing me’: Beyoncé breaks Grammys record, but Harry Styles pips her for best album; Lizzo, Adele, Bonnie Raitt also win
- Queen Bey celebrates her 32nd career Grammys win, breaking a long-standing record, but loses out for best album to Harry Styles, for Harry’s House
- Lizzo wins record of the year and Adele best solo performance, and there is a surprise song of the year winner – Bonnie Raitt, for Just Like That
Queen Bey sits alone atop the Grammys throne.
Beyoncé broke the all-time record on Sunday with her 32nd career Grammys win, with the milestone honour coming in the best dance/electronic music album category for Renaissance.
“I’d like to thank my parents, my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me,” Beyoncé said during her acceptance speech at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. “I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre.”
Beyoncé passed the late conductor Georg Solti, whose 31st Grammy came in 1998, months after his death.
The pop diva, however, lost in the prestigious album of the year category to Harry Styles. The British singer also triumphed over other nominees – Bad Bunny, Lizzo, Adele, Mary J. Blige, Brandi Carlile, Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar and ABBA – with his third album, Harry’s House.
“This doesn’t happen to people like me very often, and this is so nice,” he said onstage.
