Beyoncé became the most decorated woman in the history of the Grammys in 63rd edition of the Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night.
Beyoncé, who had nine nominations, the highest of any artist in 2021, made history with her 28th victory. “Black Parade” earned the honors for best R&B show, putting it on the sidelines of bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. He also grabbed the best rap performance with Megan Thee Stallion, who also took home the award for best new artist.

John Prine and Chick Korea were awarded posthumous Grammys at the pre-ceremony. Both were awarded in the In Memoriam segment of the ceremony, which distinguished performers and backstage talent who have died over the past year.
Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” hosted the ceremony from the Los Angeles Convention Center and, as with other awards held during the pandemic, there was no audience for the Grammys this year.
The stars performed as part of the nearly four-hour show, including an early rendition of “Colors” by the Black Pumas, who got the best rendition of American Roots, the album of the year and the song of the year.
