Beyonce has broken the record for most wins ever by a singer and most wins by a female artist with 28 but it was Billie Eilish who earned the top honor at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
The 39-year-old singer – full name Beyonce Giselle Knowles – became the most decorated singer in the history of the gala event as she earned Best R&B Performance for Black Parade inside of a tent outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center for music’s biggest night.
However it was 19-year-old Eilish who beat out an impressive field including Beyonce to earn Record Of The Year at the very end of the night for her hit single Everything I Wanted.
Earlier in the night, Beyonce’s record-breaking award was presented by two of the most iconic producers of all-time – Babyface and Jimmy Jam – as Jam proudly made the announcement saying: ‘Oh! Okay, wait a minute, history has just been made, breaking the all-time record for the most Grammy wins ever by any female artist or any singer male or female, the Grammy goes to Beyonce!’
Beyonce stands alone with the most wins as a singer but trails Hungarian-born British orchestral and operatic conductor Sir Georg Solti who has 31 total Grammys. The win also tied her with record producer Quincy Jones with 28.
The artist began her speech saying: ‘As an artist I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times. And it’s been such a difficult time. So I wanted to uplift, encourage, celebrate all of the beautiful black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world.
‘This is so overwhelming. I have been working my whole life since nine years old. And I can’t believe this happened, it’s such a magical night, thank you so much.’
The A-lister – who was joined at the event by mogul husband Jay-Z at the event – thanked her eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter, aged 9, who happened to win her first Grammy of all-time earlier in the night in the Best Music Video category for Brown Skin Girl with Beyonce. 
She said: ‘I know my daughter is watching. My daughters and my son, Blue, congratulations, you won a grammy tonight. I’m so proud of you. And I’m so honored to be your mommy, all of your mommies.
‘Y’all are my babies. And I’m so proud of y’all. I love you so much, my rock. Enjoy your night, thank you.’
