Queen Bey is now the most-winning female artist, and the most-winning singer, in the 63-year history of the Grammy Awards. She earned 28 trophies including this Sunday's wins for best music video for "Brown Skin Girl" and best rap performance for her "Savage" cooperation with Megan Thee Stallion. She walked into the show with nine nominations, more than anyone else this year.

“As an artist, I believe it's my job, and all of our jobs, to picture the era. It's been such a difficult time,” she said in her acceptance speech “So I wanted to sing high praise for all the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world.

Beyonce's Grammy-grabbing music career has continued more than 20 years.

It's been such a difficult time,” she said in her acceptance speech “So I wanted to sing high praise for all the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world.
