The 63rd Grammy Awards took place Sunday night at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. With a new executive producer at the helm for the first time in a decade, a new host, and a pandemic, the show was jam-packed women making history.
Megan Thee Stallion owned the stage and took home three awards: Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for the remix of “Savage” featuring Beyoncé, and Best New Artist. Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay Z, won her first Grammy for Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl”. Blue Ivy received a writing credit for the song which made her, at the age of 9, the second youngest artist to win a Grammy Award.
Beyoncé broke the record for all-time wins by a woman and any singer male or female with 28 Grammys wins when she won best R&B performance for “Black Parade”.
Taylor Swift also made Grammys history. She took home Album of the year “Folklore”, becoming the first female artist – only the 4th ever – to win three times in the category. She previously won for “Fearless” in 2010, followed by “1989” in 2015.
