Pop star Beyoncé made Grammy history on Sunday as she broke the record for the most career wins, surpassing the late classical music conductor Georg Solti's previous record of 31 trophies. Despite her win, the 41-year-old singer fell short in the album of the year category, which was awarded to British singer Harry Styles for his album “Harry's House”.
A New Record for Beyoncé
With a total of 32 career wins, including four from Sunday's ceremony, Beyoncé now holds the record for the most Grammy wins of all time. The singer was emotional as she received her award for Best Dance/Electronic Album, saying, “I’m trying not to be too emotional and I’m trying to just receive this night.
I want to thank God for protecting me... I’d like to thank my uncle Johnny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit”. Beyoncé went on to thank her parents, husband, and children before concluding, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre."
