Beyoncé makes history with 28th Grammy and other awards show highlights

Beyoncé became the most decorated woman in Grammy history at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday evening.

Beyoncé, who had nine nominations, the most artist count in 2021, made history with her 28th victory. “Black Parade” took home honors for Best R&B Performance, putting it across the line defined by bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. She also won Best Rap Performance with Megan Thee Stallion, who also won Best New Artist Award.

John Prine and Chick Corea both received posthumous Grammys at the pre-ceremony. Both were honored in the In Memoriam segment of the ceremony, which honored performers and backstage talent who passed away last year.

Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” hosted the ceremony from the Los Angeles Convention Center, and like other awards shows 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 a first performance of “Colors” by the Black Pumas, who were in the running for Best American Roots Performance, Album of the Year and song of the year.
