Beyonce has become the artist with the most Grammy awards, with a record of 32 wins. The award that put her over the edge was the “Best dance/electronic album”, which she won for her celebrated record “Renaissance”.
In an emotional speech, she gave a special shout-out to her family, her children, and the queer community in particular.
“Thank you so much,” she said as she began her acceptance speech. “I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God.”
She continued, “I’d like to thank my Uncle Johnny, who’s not here. But he’s here in spirit. I’d like to thank my parents — my father, my mother, for loving me, and pushing me. I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching.”
The “Cuff It” singer wrapped up her speech with a special shout-out to the queer community, to whom she gave credit for the dance/electronic music genre. “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing this genre,” Beyoncé said. “God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you.”
