With 28 wins, Beyonc now stands as the most decorated female artist in the history of the Grammys .

Still managing to cause all sorts of conversation without even performing at the 63rd annual ceremony Sunday night, the music superstar led the pack heading into the evening with nine nods, extending her reign as the most nominated female artist of all time.

Despite not releasing a new album over the past year, Beyonc dominated across various categories thanks to her single Black Parade, which was up for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. Savage, her chart-topping collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, was nominated for Record of the Year, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, which also added to her tally. She scored her final two nods for her Disney+ film Black is King, which was nominated for Best Music Film and Best Music Video (Brown Skin Girl).

After picking up early awards during the pre-broadcast ceremony for Best Music Video (which made her 9-year-old daughter Blue Ivy the second youngest person to ever win a Grammy), Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, Beyonc officially tied country singer Alison Krauss record for the female artist with the most wins in Grammy history.

But before long she also triumphed in the Best R&B Performance category, officially breaking that record with 28 wins. Accepting the award in person at the semi-virtual ceremony, Beyonc, stunning in a black leather minidress, delivered an emotional speech about the legacy she hopes to leave behind.
