The 41-year-old entered the day with the most chances at Grammy gold with nine, following the release of “Renaissance,” her rich, layered ode to club music.
She clinched the title by winning the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for her smash “Renaissance,” thus surpassing the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who had 31 awards.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional. And I’m trying to just receive this night,” Queen Bey said, wearing a shimmering, curve-hugging gown, her hair in mermaid waves as her peers witnessed the history-making moment.
Beyonce thanked her family and paid special tribute to the queer community, who she credited with inventing the genre she celebrated in her historically layered record that pays homage to pioneers of funk, soul, rap, house and disco.
Lizzo on the other hand, won the Grammy for Record of the Year for her single “About Damn Time,” besting a crowded field including Beyonce and Adele. Scoring the prize is something of a comeback for Lizzo, who was widely tipped to be the big winner in 2020 but lost all her chances at a major award to pop phenom Billie Eilish.

She dedicated the prize to the late pop icon Prince, her lifelong hero with whom she also worked.
“We are good inherently,” she said through tears in a speech that brought the audience to its feet. “And anybody at home who feels misunderstood or on the outside looking in, like I did, just stay true to yourself. I promise you, you will find people, you will attract people in your life who believe in you and support you.”
In her speech, Lizzo also gave special thanks to Queen Bey, saying, “You changed my life. The way you made me feel, I was like, I want to make people feel this way with my music. So thank you so much. You clearly are the artist of our lives!”
Bad Bunny kicked off the 65th annual Grammys gala by bringing the audience to its feet with the first performance, after which Harry Styles jumped out of the gate by winning the award for best pop vocal album for his record “Harry’s House.”
The singer also closed off the show by taking home the coveted Grammy for Album of the Year, a surprising victory over heavy favourites Beyonce and Adele.
The pop sensation scored the award for his third album “Harry’s House,” his most intimate yet, which combined twangy synths and soft acoustics with very personal lyrics.
“This doesn’t happen to people like me very often, and this is so nice,” he said onstage.
