The 63rd Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles in a unique socially distanced fashion. The ceremony saw Meghan Thee Stallion and Harry Styles winning their first-ever Grammys.
Beyonce has set a new record at the Grammy Awards with her 28th win.
The star is now the most-awarded woman in Grammys history, overtaking bluegrass singer Alison Krauss.
“I am so honored, I’m so excited,” she said while accepting her record-breaking trophy, for the best R&B performance.
Taylor Swift also made history at the ceremony by becoming the first female artist ever to win the album of the year three times.
The star was rewarded for her lockdown album ‘Folklore’. She previously won the Grammys for Fearless in ‘2010’ and the pop opus ‘1989’ in 2016.
Till now, only three other artists have ever won the album of the year prize three times: Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder.

Beyoncé’s 28th Grammy was presented in honor of Black Parade, a celebration of black power and resilience, which she released on Juneteenth last year.
Black Parade was not the only award-winner song to reflect the Black Lives Matter movement: R&B Singer H.E.R. won song of the year for I Can’t Breathe, which quotes the last words of George Floyd.
The 46-year-old died while being arrested by police in Minneapolis last year. His death, along with that of Breonna Taylor, sparked a global wave of protests.
Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion became the first female artist to win the best rap song award.
The Houston musician picked up the prize for her breakout hit Savage (Remix), on which Beyoncé delivers a guest verse.
However, fans of BTS were in a heartbroken state as the K-pop group lost its chance of Grammys.
