Beyoncé skrev samtidigt historia under galan.
Under natten till måndag svensk tid gick den 63:e Grammy Awards-galan av stapeln i USA. Och det blev på många sätt en historisk sådan. Rapikonen Nas vann bland annat sin första statyett någonsin, då han tog hem kategorin Best Rap Album för skivan “King’s Disease”. Detta efter 14 nomineringar på 27 år.
Beyoncé, som ledde nomineringarna inför galan med nio stycken, skrev också historia då hon passerade country-artisten Alison Krauss för flest Grammy-vinster av en kvinnlig artist med 28 stycken. Detta efter att ha vunnit Best R&B Performance för “Black Parade”, Best Rap Performance och Best Rap Song för “Black Savage (Remix)” med Megan Thee Stallion samt Best Music Video för “Brown Skin Girl”. Den sistnämnda belönade även dottern Blue Ivy Carter med sin första statyett, vilket gjorde henne till den näst yngsta artisten att lyckas med bedriften.
“As an artist, I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times and it’s been such a difficult time”, sa Beyoncé när hon accepterade priset för Best R&B Performance. “So I wanted to uplift, encourage and celebrate all the beautiful Black kings and queens that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world.”
“This is so overwhelming. I’ve been working my whole life since 9 years old and I can’t believe this happened. This is such a magical night. Thank you so much.”

Ovannämnda Megan Thee Stallion tog dessutom hem det stora priset för Best New Artist, medan H.E.R. landade vinsten i Song Of The Year med “I Can’t Breathe”. Andra noterbara vinnare inkluderar Burna Boy (Best Global Music Album), Bad Bunny (Best Latin Pop or Urban Album), Kanye West (Best Contemporary Christian Music Album) samt Kaytranada, som inte bara tog hem kategorin Best Dance Recording med “10%” utan också blev den första svarta artisten att ta hem Best Dance/Electronic Album med albumet “Bubba”.
