Check out what you’ve missed on the biggest night in the music industry.
Cementing her title as Queen, Beyoncé wins the most awards at this year’s Grammy Awards. Last Sunday, the biggest names in music came together to celebrate the official return of the ceremony post-pandemic.
For the 65th Grammy Awards, Beyoncé took the lead with nine nominations for her highly anticipated album, Renaissance. Aside from winning the most Grammys ever for Female Artists, she has also surpassed the late Hungarian-British conductor, Georg Solti, by earning a total of 32 Grammy Awards – that’s more than anybody in history!
Beyoncé was followed by Lamar’s Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers with eight nominations, and Adele and Brandi Carlile with seven. Kim Petras also earned much recognition after making history as the first transgender woman to win an award.
Grammy Awards 2023 ceremony was hosted by Trevor Noah, who has served twice as the master of the ceremony before. The most-awaited event was graced by the performances of Harry Styles, Lizzo, Bad Bunny, Brandy Carlile, Jay-Z, and many others.
