Women ruled the night during the 63rd Grammy Awards show held in Los Angeles. The socially distanced event saw female artistes, including Beyonce and Meghan Thee Stallion, take away the big four awards for the night.
The ceremony was hosted by Trevor Noah. "We're hoping that this is all about what 2021 can be, full of joy, new beginnings and coming together. Never forgetting what happened in 2020 but full of hope for what is to come," he said.
Beyonce Creates History
Beyonce created history at the Grammy's by becoming the the only female artiste to ever win 28 Grammy awards. The Single Ladies star took home four Grammys, including with Megan Thee Stallion for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song (for their collaboration Savage), Best R&B Performance for Black Parade, Best Music Video for Brown Skin Girl.
Beyonce, who bagged nine nominations this year, also became the the most-nominated female artist in Grammys history with 79 nominations.
"As an artist I believe it's my job, and all of our jobs, to reflect time and it's been such a difficult time," Beyonce said while accepting the award for Black Parade.
