Beyoncé became the most-decorated woman in Grammys history at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night.
Beyoncé, who had nine nominations, the most of any artist in 2021, made history with her 28th win. “Black Parade” took Best R&B Performance honors, putting her across the line set by bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. She also grabbed Best Rap Performance with Megan Thee Stallion, who also took home the Best New Artist award.
John Prine and Chick Corea were both awarded posthumous Grammys in the pre-ceremony. Both were honored in the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment, which honored the performers and behind-the-scenes talent who have died in the last year.
Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” hosted the ceremony from the Los Angeles Convention Center, and as with other award shows held during the pandemic, there was no audience for the Grammys this year.
Stars performed to each other as part of the nearly four-hour show, including an early performance of “Colors” by the Black Pumas, who were up for Best American Roots Performance, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
