The Grammys is the biggest music awards event of the year, with the 2023 65th annual awards ceremony held on 5 February. The night saw the biggest names in music get together at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, including the likes of Beyoncé, Harry Styles and Adele.
Following the awards, Beyonce has officially become the most decorated Grammy artist of all time, collecting her 32nd trophy at this year’s ceremony. The pop superstar, 41, made history as she won the best dance/electronic music album award for her house music-sampling album Renaissance. The award took her one higher than the previous record, held by Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who died in 1997.

“I’m trying not to be too emotional, I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said after taking to the stage.
She thanked her husband Jay-Z, their children, God and her uncle Jonny, who introduced her to queer dance music, saying he “is not here but he is here in spirit”.
The biggest gong – album of the year – went to Harry Styles for his third album Harry’s House.
Accepting the trophy from one of his fans, who he embraced, Styles said “there was no such thing as best” and that he had been inspired by all the other artists in the category.
