Beyoncé makes history with 28th Grammy and more highlights from the awards ceremony

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 of any artist in 2021, made history with her 28th win. “Black Parade” took the award for Best R&B Performance, crossing the line, set by bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. She also picked up Best Rap Performance with Megan Thee Stallion, who also took home the 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 the performers and behind-the-scenes talent who passed away in the past year.

Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” hosted the ceremony from the Los Angeles Convention Center, and as with other awards ceremonies held during the pandemic, there was no audience for the Grammys this year.

Stars performed for each other as part of the nearly four-hour show, including an early performance of “Colors” by the Black Pumas, who were eligible for Best American Roots Performance, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
