Queen Beyoncé Knowles was running a little late to collect her crown at the 2023 Grammys, where she broke the record for the most wins by collecting her 32nd award. The songstress made history as she won for best dance/electronic music album. Earlier in the evening, she also won more in her nine categories, including best R&B song for “Cuff It".
Queen Bey took the title of the most Grammy wins from classical music figure Georg Solti, and her achievement is so well deserved.
The awards ceremony hasn't always given Bey her due—never forget Adele's 2017 acceptance speech—but the 65th Annual Grammy Awards gave her nine opportunities to add to the 28 wins she'd already collected before 2023, and she certainly delivered.
Renaissance, Beyoncé's first full album since 2016's Lemonade, picked up nominations for best dance/electronic album and, naturally, album of the year. The track “Break My Soul” also got big category nods, with nominations for both record of the year and song of the year.

This is the second time Beyoncé and Adele—who released 30 last year—both have an album up for album of the year, with Adele's 25 taking home the trophy in 2017.
In 2023, both artists are considered front-runners for the night's biggest honour once again, but we've learned better than to try and predict the outcome this time.
