The 63rd Grammy Awards were released on March 14, awards were hosted by Trevor Noah, and were delayed owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The annual show shifted from its original January 31 broadcast to March 14.
Here are the top highlights of the Award show-
Beyonce Scripts History
American singer-songwriter Beyonce returned to the Grammys, pulling out all the sartorial stops for a surprise appearance during music’s biggest night.
The legendary musician earned the award for her chart-topping tune ‘Black Parade’, which she released last year in honour of Juneteenth. She picked up four awards during this year’s ceremony. Two came during the prime-time telecast, on which she accepted an award with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for ‘Savage (Remix)’ for best rap song and then one on her own for ‘Black Parade’ for best R&B performance.
She made history tonight for breaking the all-time record for the most Grammy wins by any female artist, reported People magazine.
Beyonce’s 28 wins at the Grammys made her the most-awarded woman in the history of the awards, moving her ahead of the former champion, Alison Krauss.
Among both genders, she trails only classical conductor Sir George Solti, who still holds the all-time record with 31 Grammys, a benchmark that Beyonce shouldn’t have much trouble surpassing in the next few years, given the roll she is on.
