Beyonce became the most decorated Grammy artist of all time after she picked up her 32nd trophy at this year’s ceremony and smashed the 26-year record held by Hungarian-British conductor, Georg Solti.
Beyonce ended the night as the most awarded female in Grammy history, and equalled producer Quincy Jones, who has 28 wins, for second-most overall trophies. Also, her fourth award for the night which was her 32nd Grammy win gave her the record for the highest Grammy victories.
She made history after she won the best dance/electronic music album category for her house music-sampling album, Renaissance. This placed her above Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who died in 1997.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional”, Beyonce said as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. She thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for their support.
She said: “I’m just trying to receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God.”
With 88 cumulative nominations, she has also tied with her husband, Jay-Z, for the highest number of nominations of all time.
