Beyoncé made Grammy Awards history after her outstanding performance at the 2023 ceremony. The singer, who was nominated nine times, officially became the most-awarded artist in the Recording Academy’s history, breaking the previous record.
She also became the first Black woman to be nominated for album of the year four times as a lead artist, and the first Black woman to ever win the best dance/electronic album award.
At the 2023 Grammys, Beyoncé took home four awards for her celebrated album “Renaissance”. The album, which is her seventh solo effort, earned her recognition for best electronic/dance recording, best dance/electronic album, best traditional R&B performance, and best R&B song.
During her acceptance speech, she thanked her family, including her husband JAY-Z and their children; Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter, as well as her late uncle Jonny who inspired the album.
In her speech, Beyoncé fought back tears as she spoke of the significance of the album to her and her family. “Renaissance” is her first album since 2016’s “Lemonade,”; and she promised it was the first act of a three-part series; though the next two parts of the series are yet to be revealed.
Beyoncé’s nine Grammy nominations in 2023 marked the fourth time; she was nominated for at least nine awards in a single ceremony; following similar nominations in 2010, 2017, and 2021. Throughout her decades-long career, Beyoncé has won a total of 32 Grammy Awards; and continues to set new records and inspire others with her music and performances.
