Beyoncé Makes It 28
With four wins, Beyoncé tied and then broke the record for most career Grammys by a woman, leaving behind Alison Krauss' previous high of 27. Queen Bey's 28 lifetime trophies tied her with Quincy Jones and left her following only late conductor Georg Solt's 31 victory laps.
"This is so overwhelming," the Lion King star told viewers about the feat. "I have been working my whole life since 9 years old."
Taylor Swift Knows How to Make an Album
With her Album of the Year prize for folklore, the singer became the first woman to triumph three times in the category, adding to her tally after previous wins for 2008's Fearless and 2014's 1989. Only three other artists (Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder) have also collected three wins in the category.
Billie Eilish Does It Again
With her Record of the Year win for "Everything I Wanted," the 19-year-old star became the youngest artist to collect two victories in the category, following her 2020 trophy for "Bad Guy." Only five acts (Simon & Garfunkel, U2, Roberta Flack and Henry Mancini) have taken home Record of the Year more than once, making Billie just the second woman to accomplish the feat.
The Women Who Reigned
Alas, viewers didn't get to see Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga accept Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Rain on Me," as it didn't air in the telecast. But that doesn't take away from this marking the first all-women collaboration to prevail in the category.
Truly Savage
Setting one record just wasn't enough for Beyoncé. Her Best Rap Song win for collaborating with Megan Thee Stallion on the remix of "Savage" was the first time a pair of women took the category.
Well on Her Way
Somehow, every member of Beyoncé's family is capable of making everyone else feel like underachievers. Indeed, Blue Ivy—the star's 9-year-old daughter with husband Jay-Z—became the second-youngest Grammy winner ever when the mother-child pair were both Best Music Video winners for "Brown Skin Girl." Still holding the record is Leah Peasall of The Peasall Sisters, who was just 8 eight years old when she won a Best Album of the Year trophy for the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack in 2002.
