Beyoncé made history at the 2023 Grammys with 32 wins, becoming the most Grammy-awarded artist of all time. Known for her versatility across pop, R&B, and dance, her album ‘Renaissance’ won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Her husband, Jay-Z, called out that fact at the last Grammys ceremony, arguing that voters had failed to give proper recognition to Black artists.
