Grammys 2021: Women Sweep Top Awards

The 63rd annual event was a big night for female musicians, who really shook things up!

It was non-stop action at Sunday night's Grammy Awards, which was presented in the new part-digital hybrid format and hosted by Trevor Noah from the Los Angeles Convention Center. And the event, which was supposed to take place in January, saw women take centre stage and nab the top honours.

Here are three of the amazing female musicians who helped make it such a memorable night.

1. Beyoncé

Beyoncé became the most-awarded woman in the history of the awards. Queen Bey officially broke the record for most Grammy wins by a female artist when she took home her 28th Grammy for Best R&B Performance for her song "Black Parade."

“This is so overwhelming,” Beyoncé, who had a standing ovation said in her emotional speech. “I’ve been working my whole life, since nine years old. I can’t believe this happened. This is such a magical night, thank you so much.”

The hitmaker smashed bluegrass singer Alison Krauss’s previous record (27 Grammys) and she stands equal with Qunicy Jones, while classical conductor Sir Georg Solti is the only one with more (31).

In total, the reigning songstress, who didn’t perform but made a surprise appearance, had nine nominations on the night and picked up four wins. She also nabbed Best Rap Song with Megan Thee Stallion for “Savage Remix” and Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl.” Another reason to celebrate was her daughter Blue Ivy Carter wining the best music video alongside her. The nine-year-old became the second youngest act to win a Grammy in the show’s 63-year history.
