GRAMMYS 2021: Women Take All!

After The Weeknd denounced the Grammys, we figured this year wouldn’t be that exciting.

Boy, were we wrong.

Last night’s Grammys were full of notable moments and HISTORY MAKING!

Let’s dig into some of the highlights of the evening, plus a full list of winners:

 

Beyoncé Becomes Most Awarded Singer & Female In Grammy History

She secured four wins last night, bumping her total up to 28 total wins.

She is now tied for most wins with Quincy Jones, and is only 3 away from tying total record setter Georg Solti, late Hungarian-British conductor who has 31.

Check out the moment she won her 28th and made history:

Beyoncé’s first award came early in the event, when “Brown Skin Girl” won for Best Music Video. This made daughter Blue Ivy Carter a Grammy-winner as well!

 

All Four Major Categories Won By WOMEN!

These categories include Album, Record and Song of the Year plus Best New Artist. 

Album of the year went to Taylor Swift, who also made history as the first female artist to earn this title 3x!

 

Record of the Year went to Billie Eilish!

 

Song of the Year went to H.E.R. for her song, “I Can’t Breathe”.
