Thanks to four trophies for her album "Renaissance," Beyoncé has become the most successful artist in Grammys history.

Beyoncé has now won 32 Grammy Awards in her career, surpassing conductor Georg Solti, who had previously held the record with 31 wins. Her four awards came in the categories of Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.

The singer, 41, credited her late uncle Johnny with introducing her to the house music that served as the inspiration for "Renaissance" during her acceptance speech. She also extended a special shout-out to the queer community for their unwavering support and "creating this genre."

Petras, Kim

The first transgender woman to win a Grammy in the category was German singer-songwriter Kim Petras, who won with Sam Smith for their popular song "Unholy."

Before mentioning the late Grammy-nominated producer Sophie, who was one of her friends and a collaborator, the 30-year-old stated, "I just want to thank all the wonderful transgender icons before me who take these doors open for me so I couldn't be here tonight.

In addition, Petras praised her mother for her steadfast love and support and Madonna for "working for LGBTQ rights."

In Germany, I grew up next to a freeway, Petras added. I wouldn't be where I am now without my mother, her support, and everyone else who has believed in me up to this point, who also thought I was a girl.

Ava Davis

At the 2023 Grammy Awards, the 57-year-old actress achieved EGOT status, becoming only the third Black woman in history to do so.

For her biography "Finding Me," Davis earned her first Grammy on Sunday for the best audiobook, narration, and storytelling recording.

Davis received three awards: an Emmy in 2015 for "How to Get Away With Murder," an Oscar in 2017 for the historical drama "Fences," and a Tony in 2010 for both "King Hedley II" and the Broadway production of "Fences."

Swift, Taylor

Taylor Swift is the first artist to win the Grammy for Best Music Video with solo directorial credit for their own music video for "All Too Well: The Short Film."

Swift, 33, tweeted her joy at winning the prize even though she wasn't present to accept it herself at the earlier presentation.

Swift, 33, tweeted her joy at winning the prize after learning of it, even though she wasn't present for the earlier ceremony to accept the accolade in person.

She wrote, "I can't even put into words what this means to me. "I would like the Recording Academy and my colleagues to recognize me as a director and, in doing so, recognize my efforts to try to reclaim my music... Wow! I'm in awe. I want to thank all the fans that made this happen.

For their number-one duet "Never Wanted To Be That Girl," country singers Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde won Best Country Duo/Group Performance, making them the first women to do so since the award's inception in 2012.

Additionally, it is Pearce, 32, and McBryde, 39, first Grammy.

I feel very, very lucky to have done it with someone who I respect so much as an artist and a person, Pearce said to reporters backstage after winning. "To see this song do what it's done over the last year and a half for us, and just continue to show the girls that are coming up behind us that you can write your truth and you can do everything that you want in this business, I feel very, very lucky," Pearce said.
