2017: Double Duty

If you were to deem any year in Grammys history as Beyoncé's year, 2017 was it. Following the release of her iconic album Lemonade in 2016, the singer garnered a whopping nine nominations. The star, who was also pregnant at the time with twins Rumi and Sir, ultimately won in two categories—Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video. She also pulled double duty as a performer that night, delivering a stunning medley of songs from her hit record. To top things off, she was on the receiving end of praise from Adele, who basically used her acceptance speeches for Record of the Year and Album of the Year to fangirl over Queen Bey.

2023: Queen of the Grammys

Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in all of Grammys history when she nabbed her 32nd golden gramophone.

"I'm trying not to be too emotional and I'm trying to just receive this night," she tearfully said, after Renaissance was named Best Dance/Electronic Album. "I'd like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three chid, who are at home watching. I'd like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys."
