On Friday night at the Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom, veteran pianist Cheche Alara walked away from the stage for a few minutes before the second annual GRAMMY Hall of Fame Gala kicked off, and surveyed the scene from the soundboard.

As the gala’s musical director, Alara was responsible for leading a band of virtuoso instrumentalists, stellar backup vocalists and legendary guest stars through a tapestry of sounds that mirrored the Hall of Fame’s all-encompassing legacy — from gospel, Afrobeat and R&B to country and Latin rhythms. And unlike most pop concerts these days, the musical portion of the evening had not a single pre-recorded element. Every song was performed live, as it happened.

Perhaps the volatile energy of such a large-scale spectacle presented without a security net of any kind contributed to the gala’s unpredictable, emotionally charged vibe. Alternating between piano and keyboards, Alara led the band through a number of inducted classics — jumping from syncopated salsa piano lines to more sobering, spiritually inclined blues chords.

A legacy supported by the Recording Academy and GRAMMY Museum,  the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame inducted  eight albums and five singles into its 2025 class. Each recording left an indelible mark on pop culture, from Jay-Z's debut album, Reasonable Doubt, to Big Star's highly influential #1 Record and Gloria Estefan's & Miami Sound Machine's "Conga," a progenitor of the Latin music revolution of the late-'90s. With the addition of these 13 titles, the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame currently houses 1,165 inducted recordings.

"The importance of the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame lies not only in honoring classic works, but also in preserving the cultural, artistic, and social history of recorded music," Nick DiFruscia, Senior Director of Awards at the Recording Academy, told GRAMMY.com. "A recording’s induction into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame is a critical act of music preservation, ensuring that the most important recordings in music history are recognized, remembered and protected for future generations. It’s also an important resource tool for musicians, educators, historians, and fans, helping them understand how certain recordings influenced genres, recording technology, and the pure craft of music making."

Below, read six takeaway moments from the 2025 GRAMMY Hall Of Fame Gala, an evening marked by a spirit of cultural plurality and celebration.

Care To Rally The Troops? Play Some Gospel.

The show began in epic fashion, with Ledisi wowing the ballroom’s capacity audience with a volcanic rendition of Clara Ward’s anthemic "How I Got Over" – one of the best-selling gospel songs of all time, recorded by luminaries such as Mahalia Jackson and Aretha Franklin. Backed by an ensemble of nine singers, Ledisi sounded like a ball of fire, making the strongest possible case for adding "How I Got Over" into the select group of 13 recordings inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.

Emmylou Harris Is A National Treasure

"I just cherry pick all the great songs that other people have written," the ever-so-humble Emmylou Harris quipped as she celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Americana classic Wrecking Ball – the album that updated her sound and redefined her identity. 

"I felt at a crossroad," said the 78-year-old, Alabama-born Harris, joined onstage by the album’s visionary producer, Daniel Lanois, and jazz drummer Brian Blade. "I don’t know if we knew what we were doing on that album, but Daniel Lanois gave me another 30 years of making the music that I love."

The Stax Mystique Sounds Even More Vital Today

From Otis Redding and Carla Thomas to the Staple Singers and Eddie Floyd, the Memphis-based Stax label cemented the foundation of southern soul with a gritty, honest sound that drew freely from gospel, funk and the blues. With its propulsive brass and a vocal delivery intoxicated with the ecstasy of romantic love, Eddie Floyd’s summer of 1966 hit "Knock On Wood" epitomizes the Stax gravitas. 

A youthful 87, Floyd was at hand to perform a seamless rendition of the track, expressing his gratitude to "the artists who recorded this tune so many times."

A Little Girl Grew Up Listening To Records – And Dreamed Big

Released in 1985, the percolating Miami Sound Machine smash "Conga" made Gloria Estefan a superstar, and brought the American mainstream closer to the Afro-Caribbean groove. Urbano-pop princess Leslie Grace performed a spirited rendition of the song — at one point leaving the stage, walking to the Estefans' table and inviting a surprised Gloria to join her on a verse or two. 

"When I was five years old in Florida, we rented a house that had a stereo cabinet loaded with 78 rpm records," said Estefan. "I would play each record and allow myself to be transported by those sounds. Today I want to honor those records by artists like the Andrews Sisters. Even before we recorded it, audiences embraced ‘Conga’ as if it was already a hit."

In 21st Century Music, The Future Knows No Limits

"I want to honor my parents with this award, because they’re here. It would not be possible to do what I do without them," said composer, musician and actor Jon Batiste as he received the inaugural Ray Charles Architect of Sound Award. True to form, the Juilliard graduate sat at the piano and improvised a touching rendition of "Georgia On My Mind" that blended classical elements with jazz and blues — a performance so spontaneous and joyful, that it made his virtuoso chops seem like an afterthought. 

Batiste explained how his father introduced him to the music of Ray Charles, and taught him to observe the subtle touches and arrangements to be found on records. "Music comes from the deepest and darkest soil," said the pianist, quoting Charles himself.

For Record Label Success, Music Should Always Come First

With a roster that includes mega-stars such as Drake, Ariana Grande, Morgan Wallen and Peter Gabriel, Republic Records has achieved the highest market share of any label during the past decade. The gala’s label honoree, Republic was feted by a wryly humorous John Mellencamp, who performed some of his greatest hits — including the ‘80s hymn "Jack & Diane" — accompanying himself on the guitar. 

"The guys at Republic are in the music business because they like music and they like business — but they like music first," he said, adding that the event’s organizers begged him not to use any form of profanity during his presentation. "Stop giving a f— about stuff that’s not f— worthy," he concluded with a grin. Accepting the award, brothers Avery and Monte Lipman, President/COO and CEO, respectively,  looked visibly moved, sharing anecdotes that illustrated a deep love of music during their childhood. "My greatest accomplishment is that I get to do this with my brother," said Avery.

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on Jan. 31, 2023 and was updated on Feb. 3, 2025 to reflect her 2025 GRAMMY wins.

Two years after becoming the artist with the most GRAMMY wins at the 2023 GRAMMYs, Beyoncé made GRAMMY history again at the 2025 GRAMMYs. Along with winning her first golden gramophone for Album Of The Year for COWBOY CARTER, the now 35-time GRAMMY-winning star also became the first Black artist to win the GRAMMY for Best Country Album.

While the past few years may have spawned her most historic feats, Beyoncé has created an extensive array of GRAMMY moments. She has delivered epic live performances on her own and alongside icons like Prince and Tina Turner, and she's taken home six GRAMMYs in one night.

Starting from her first nominations with Destiny's Child in 2000, take a trip through Beyoncé's most memorable and impactful moments at Music's Biggest Night.

2000 — 42nd GRAMMY Awards

Nominations: Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and Best Rhythm & Blues Song ("Bills, Bills, Bills") with Destiny's Child

Beyoncé's first red carpet appearance at the GRAMMYs was with fellow Destiny's Child members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin (who was only part of the group for six months). The iteration of the group that was there that day was not the same group that received two nominations for "Bills, Bills, Bills" — that distinction goes to Beyoncé, Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson.

Beyoncé, Luckett and Rowland co-wrote the track with producer Kevin "She'kspeare" Briggs and Xscape singer Kandi Burruss, the latter of whom coincidentally won the GRAMMY for Best Rhythm & Blues Song that year for co-writing TLC's "No Scrubs" with Tameka "Tiny" Cottle.

2001 — 43rd GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best R&B Song ("Say My Name"), Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal ("Say My Name")

Nominations: Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year ("Say My Name"), Best Song Written For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media ("Independent Women Part I" From Charlie's Angels)

The first GRAMMY red carpet as a trio with Roland and Williams, the group wore matching silky gowns on the red carpet and "Survivor"-era green outfits backstage, all designed by Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles. 

Destiny's Child took home their first GRAMMYs that night, for Best R&B Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal and Best R&B Song for "Say My Name," which was also nominated for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year. 

Beyoncé also earned a Best Song Written For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media nomination for Destiny's Child's contribution to the 2000 film Charlie's Angels, "Independent Women Part I," which she co-wrote.

2002 — 44th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal ("Survivor")

Nominations: Best R&B Album (Survivor)

Performance: "Quisiera Ser" with Alejandro Sanz

Destiny's Child's first performance at the GRAMMYs was to duet with Latin star Alejandro Sanz on "Quisiera Ser." They provided supporting vocals and Beyoncé added some English lyrics to his Spanish song. 

The group's own international hit "Survivor," an anthem about thriving as the trio, won a GRAMMY for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and the Survivor album was nominated for Best R&B Album.

2004 — 46th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Dangerously In Love 2"), Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals ("The Closer I Get To You") with Luther Vandross, Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Crazy In Love"), Best Contemporary R&B Album (Dangerously In Love)

Nominations: Record Of The Year ("Crazy In Love")

Performance: "Purple Rain," "Baby I'm a Star," "Let's Go Crazy" and "Crazy In Love" with Prince

After dazzling in a gold Tina Knowles dress on the red carpet, Beyoncé opened the show alongside Prince with a medley of his hits "Purple Rain," "Let's Go Crazy" and "Baby I'm a Star," with a dash of her own "Crazy In Love." 

She accepted her first five GRAMMYs as a solo artist, including Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Dangerously In Love 2" — which she also performed — Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for "The Closer I Get To You" with Luther Vandross, Best Contemporary R&B Album for Dangerously In Love and two wins for "Crazy In Love" (Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration). 

2005 — 47th GRAMMY Awards

Nomination: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals ("Lose My Breath")

Destiny's Child celebrated another global smash earning a GRAMMY nomination with "Lose My Breath." The lead single from Destiny Fulfilled — their final studio album — received a nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. 

Beyoncé and Rowland co-produced "Lose My Breath" with hitmakers Rodney Jerkins (who also helmed "Say My Name" and "Cater 2 U" from Destiny Fulfilled), and Sean Garrett, who later co-produced Bey solo singles including "Check On It," "Get Me Bodied," "Ring The Alarm" and "Upgrade U" with Swizz Beatz.

2006 — 48th GRAMMY Awards

Win: Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals ("So Amazing") with Stevie Wonder

Nominations: Best Contemporary R&B Album (Destiny Fulfilled), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Wishing On A Star"), Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals ("Cater 2 U"), Best R&B Song ("Cater 2 U"), Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Soldier")

Beyoncé and Stevie Wonder won a GRAMMY for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for "So Amazing," a cover of the song Luther Vandross wrote for Dionne Warwick in 1983 and recorded himself three years later. Bey also received a solo nomination for her cover of Rose Royce's "Wishing On A Star" on her Live at Wembley album. 

Meanwhile, Destiny's Child closed out their time as a group with four more nominations, bringing their career total to 14. Although the group had announced in June 2005 that they would be disbanding to pursue solo ventures, they assembled on the GRAMMY stage one last time — igniting eruptive applause — to present the golden gramophone for Song Of The Year, which went to U2 for "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own."

2007 — 49th GRAMMY Awards

Win: Best Contemporary R&B Album (B'Day)

Nominations: Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Ring The Alarm"), Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Deja Vu")

Performance: "Listen" 

Beyoncé performed "Listen," her original song that she also sang as the lead role of Deena Jones in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls.

She went home a GRAMMY winner again that night, as her second album, B'Day, was victorious as Best Contemporary R&B Album. Two of the album's singles earned nominations as well: "Ring The Alarm" for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and "Deja Vu" for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

2008 — 50th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best Compilation Soundtrack (Dreamgirls) 

Nominations: Record Of The Year ("Irreplaceable"), Best Pop Collaboration ("Beautiful Liar") with Shakira

Performance: "Proud Mary" with Tina Turner

Continuing her streak of performing live with legends at the GRAMMYs, Beyoncé joined Tina Turner onstage to sing a fierce rendition of "Proud Mary" and achieve one of her personal bucket-list moments. 

"She's my hero and my icon," she said of Turner at an after party. "It was crazy. I went in the room [after] and I just bawled because I couldn't believe it.”

Dreamgirls won Best Compilation Soundtrack that night, while "Irreplaceable" was nominated for Record Of The Year and "Beautiful Liar," her collaboration with Colombian star Shakira from B'Day, received a nomination for Best Pop Collaboration.

2009 — 51st GRAMMY Awards

Nomination: Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Me, Myself & I")

A top 10 hit that was co-produced by Beyoncé and Scott Storch, "Me, Myself & I" touts the benefits of self-care, of being one's "own best friend" and not taking the blame in the face of a partner's infidelity. The relatable song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

2010 — 52nd GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Song Of The Year, Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"), Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Halo"), Best Contemporary R&B Album (I Am… Sasha Fierce), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance ("At Last" from Cadillac Records: Music From The Motion Picture)

Nominations: Record Of The Year ("Halo"), Album Of The Year (I Am... Sasha Fierce), Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Ego"), Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media ("Once In A Lifetime" from Cadillac Records: Music From The Motion Picture)

Performance: "If I Were a Boy" 

Backed by an army of male dancers, Beyoncé's live performance of "If I Were a Boy" included an even more unexpected moment. At the song's climax, she switched to the chorus from "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrissette, the 1996 GRAMMY winner for Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

Bey won an impressive six GRAMMYs in 2010, including three for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." She also earned a nomination for her portrayal of Etta James in the 2008 film Cadillac Records, as Beyoncé's version of "At Last" won Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.

2011 — 53rd GRAMMY Awards

Nominations: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Halo (Live)"), Album Of The Year (The Fame Monster), Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals ("Telephone") with Lady Gaga

Several of Beyoncé's GRAMMY nominations have been for live songs as well as songs with other artists. At the 2011 GRAMMYs, she celebrated nominations for both: "Halo (Live)," which appears on the live album I Am… Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and her collaboration with Lady Gaga, "Telephone," earned Beyoncé two nominations. 

2012 — 54th GRAMMY Awards

Nominations: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Party") and Best Longform Music Video (I Am… World Tour)

"Party," a duet with André 3000 from OutKast, is a highlight from Beyoncé's 4 album for its infectious chorus and the sheer rarity of scoring a verse from Three Stacks. The GRAMMYs recognized this dream team with a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Bey also received her first-ever nomination in the Best Longform Music Video category for I Am…World Tour. The film includes her singing "If I Were a Boy" with a few measures of "You Oughta Know," just like she did in her 2010 GRAMMYs performance.

2013 — 55th GRAMMY Awards

Win: Best Traditional R&B Performance ("Love On Top")

Beyoncé's 17th GRAMMY win occurred in the Premiere Ceremony for the 2013 GRAMMYs, which she and husband Jay-Z did not attend. So when Jimmy Jam announced that Beyoncé had won Best Traditional R&B Performance for "Love On Top," he jokingly offered to drop off the GRAMMY along with the awards Jay-Z won at the ceremony.

"They live in the same place, it's all good," Jam smiled. "Economical!"

2014 — 56th GRAMMY Awards

Nomination: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Part II (On The Run)") with Jay-Z

Performance: "Drunk In Love" with Jay-Z

Smoke billowed across the stage as Beyoncé opened the 2014 GRAMMYs with an intimate live performance of "Drunk In Love," joined by her husband Jay-Z for what may just be the sexiest performance of their careers.

Although "Drunk In Love" wasn't nominated until the following year, the couple did celebrate a nomination in 2014 for "Part II (On The Run)," from Jay's album Magna Carta Holy Grail. Backstage, Bey's long white Michael Costello gown got cameras clicking and slayed style watchers, a standout among all of her GRAMMY fits.

2015 — 57th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best R&B Performance ("Drunk In Love"), Best R&B Song ("Drunk In Love"), Best Surround Sound Album (Beyoncé)

Nominations: Album Of The Year (Beyoncé), Best Contemporary Album (Beyoncé), Best Music Film (Beyoncé and Jay-Z: On The Run Tour)

Performance: "Take My Hand, Precious Lord"

After the previous year's racy performance of "Drunk In Love" that opened the show, Beyoncé took a markedly more pious approach with her musical number in 2015. Backed by an all-male choir, she sang "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," a gospel classic written by Thomas A. Dorsey in 1932. In a now-deleted behind-the-scenes video posted on her website, she explained that the performance was meant as a statement around police brutality and civil unrest in the wake of the murders of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, among others.

"My grandparents marched with Dr. King, and my father was part of the first generation of Black men that attended an all-white school," Beyoncé said. "My father has grown up with a lot of trauma from those experiences. I feel like now I can sing for his pain, I can sing for my grandparents' pain. I can sing for some of the families that have lost their sons."

During her three wins, fans saw her show some rare PDA with Jay-Z. The pair shared a kiss when they won Best R&B Performance for "Drunk In Love."

Two days after the 2015 GRAMMYs, Beyoncé also took part in a star-studded salute to Stevie Wonder for the CBS special "Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life — An All-Star Grammy Salute," which aired on Feb. 15, 2015. She sang a medley of "Fingertips," "Master Blaster" and "Higher Ground" alongside Ed Sheeran and Gary Clark Jr.

2016 — 58th GRAMMY Awards

In a year when she didn't have eligible work in the running, Beyoncé still made international waves when she appeared at the GRAMMYs in a white wedding-like gown. She wasn't there to get married, though — she presented the award for Record Of The Year to Bruno Mars for his hit song "Uptown Funk."

"Let's go, Beyoncé, let's do it!" Mars playfully yelled from the audience, just before she said his name.

2017 — 59th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best Contemporary Urban Album (Lemonade), Best Music Video ("Formation")

Nominations: Album Of The Year (Lemonade), Best Music Film (Lemonade), Record Of The Year ("Formation"), Song Of The Year ("Formation"), Best Pop Solo Performance ("Hold Up"), Best Rock Performance ("Don't Hurt Yourself"), Best Rap/Sung Performance ("Freedom") 

Performance: "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles"

Beyoncé dressed like a goddess while pregnant with twins Rumi and Sir Carter to perform "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles," songs from her multi-nominated (and GRAMMY-winning) album and music film Lemonade. Her kids were at the forefront of her mind during her acceptance speech for Best Contemporary Urban Album.

"It's important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror — first through their own families, as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House and the GRAMMYs — and see themselves," she said.

Later, in an unexpected — and instantly viral — moment, Adele dedicated her acceptance speech for Album Of The Year to effusively praising Beyoncé and the Lemonade album, which was also nominated in the category.

"You are our light!" Adele exclaimed, calling Lemonade her album of the year.

2018 — 60th GRAMMY Awards

Nomination: Best Rap/Sung Performance ("Family Feud")

It was all in the family when Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their then 6-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter sat together at the GRAMMYs in 2018 — though Blue's parents were ironically nominated for a song called "Family Feud" from Jay's 4:44 album. In a clip that went viral, a camera caught Blue seemingly motioning for them to stop clapping. The world fell in love with her commanding presence at that very moment.

2019 — 61st GRAMMY Awards

Win: Best Urban Contemporary Album (Everything Is Love)

Nominations: Best R&B Performance ("Summer"), Best Music Video ("Apes***")

Beyoncé's 2019 win and nominations were given for her collaborations with Jay-Z in their Everything Is Love album. The Carters won Best Urban Contemporary Album with the nine-song album, which they co-produced with Leon Michels and Cool & Dre. They also were nominated for Best R&B Performance for "Summer" as well as Best Music Video for "Apes***," a bold piece which they filmed in front of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Great Sphinx of Tanis and other seminal works displayed in Paris' Louvre.

2020 — 62nd GRAMMY Awards

Win: Best Music Film (Homecoming)

Nominations: Best Pop Solo Performance ("Spirit"), Best Song Written for Visual Media ("Spirit"), Best Pop Vocal Album (The Lion King: The Gift) 

Homecoming offers an intimate look at the best onstage and behind-the-scenes moments from Beyoncé's massive headline sets at Coachella in 2018. Performed over two consecutive weekends, her show at the Southern California desert festival pays homage to the great Southern bands from HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). There's also a brief but thrilling Destiny's Child reunion, as well as plenty of Easter eggs for Southern rap fans in the form of instrumental and lyrical riffs and snippets weaved into her hits. 

Two additional nominations recognized her work for The Lion King: The Gift. She voiced Nala in the film.

2021 — 63rd GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best R&B Performance ("Black Parade"), Best Music Video ("Brown Skin Girl"), Best Rap Performance ("Savage") and Best Rap Song ("Savage") with Megan Thee Stallion

Nominations: Record Of The Year ("Savage") and Record Of The Year ("Savage") with Megan Thee Stallion, Best R&B Song and Song Of The Year ("Black Parade"), Best Music Film (Black Is King)

Beyoncé's Best R&B Performance win made her the performing artist with the most career GRAMMY wins in history. (She's tied with producer Quincy Jones, and Georg Solti, who has more wins, was a conductor and not a performer.) She also became the woman with the most GRAMMY wins that night.

During her acceptance speech, she shared that she's worked hard since she was 9 years old and congratulated her daughter — also 9 at the time — for scoring her first GRAMMY. Blue stars in the video for "Brown Skin Girl," the Best Music Video winner.

"It has been such a difficult time so I wanted to uplift, encourage, and celebrate all of the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world," Beyoncé added about her Black Is King project. 

Bey also appeared onstage with fellow Houstonian Megan Thee Stallion, who couldn't contain her excitement about sharing the stage — and two GRAMMYs — with her hometown hero. "I love her work ethic, I love the way she is, I love the way she carry herself," Megan said. "My momma will always be like, 'Megan, what would Beyoncé do?' And I'm always like, 'You know what? What would Beyoncé do, but let me make it a little ratchet.'"

2023 — 65th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (RENAISSANCE), Best R&B Song ("CUFF IT"), Best Traditional R&B Performance ("PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA"), Best Dance/Electronic Music Recording ("BREAK MY SOUL")

Nominations: Album Of The Year (RENAISSANCE), Record Of The Year ("BREAK MY SOUL"), Song Of The Year ("BREAK MY SOUL"), Best Song Written For Visual Media ("Be Alive" from King Richard), Best R&B Performance ("VIRGO’S GROOVE")

Beyoncé made even more GRAMMY history in 2023 — and it was her biggest record yet.

She needed four wins out of her nine nominations to become the artist with the most GRAMMYs of all time with 32. Going into the ceremony, she had two wins down (Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Dance/Electronic Music Recording), and she was, according to host Trevor Noah, "stuck in traffic" upon winning her third golden gramophone for Best R&B Song. But she made it just in time for her history-making moment, taking deep breaths as she took the stage and noting that she was "trying to just receive this night."

Throughout her speech, Beyoncé first thanked God and her late Uncle Jonny — her main inspiration for RENAISSANCE — then went on to thank her parents as well as Jay-Z and their three kids. She poignantly ended with a tribute to the trailblazers who opened the door for her record-breaking album.

"I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre," she said. "God bless you, thank you so much to the GRAMMYs."

2025 — 67th GRAMMY Awards

Wins: Album Of The Year (COWBOY CARTER), Best Country Album (COWBOY CARTER), Best Country Duo/Group Performance ("II MOST WANTED" with Miley Cyrus)

Nominations: Record Of The Year ("TEXAS HOLD 'EM"), Song Of The Year ("TEXAS HOLD 'EM"), Best Pop Solo Performance ("BODYGUARD"), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance ("LEVII'S JEANS" with Post Malone), Best Melodic Rap Performance ("SPAGHETTII" with Linda Martell and Shaboozey), Best Country Solo Performance ("16 CARRIAGES"), Best Country Song ("TEXAS HOLD 'EM"), Best Americana Performance ("YA YA")

With 11 nominations, Beyoncé wasn't just the most-nominated artist at the 2025 GRAMMYs — she became the artist with the most GRAMMY nominations ever.

While the noms helped her break yet another GRAMMY record, she continued to add to her ever-growing GRAMMY legacy when she won three more golden gramophones that night. Along with furthering her lead as the artist with the most GRAMMYs (from 32 to 35), Beyoncé also achieved another GRAMMY first with one of her three wins: the first Black artist to win Best Country Album.

In her heartfelt speech, Beyoncé admitted that she "really was not expecting" to win in the Best Country Album Category. "I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about, and to stay persistent," she said, thanking God, her family, her collaborators, and "all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album."

COWBOY CARTER also won Beyoncé two more GRAMMYs, including perhaps one of the most exciting of her career for both Queen Bey and her loyal Beyhive: her first Album Of The Year victory. With five nominations in the Category prior to the 2025 GRAMMYs, the star couldn't help but acknowledge her long-awaited feat in her speech. "I just feel very full and very honored — it's been many, many years," she said. To close out another historic GRAMMY night, she left viewers with an uplifting message: "I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors."
