Beyonce’s full list of Grammys wins after she becomes the biggest winner in history

Beyonce’s record-breaking 32nd Grammy Award on Sunday night came a remarkable 22 years after she first won one.

The music superstar, 41, was only 19 when she and Destiny’s Child claimed two Grammys for their song Say My Name.

Success for Beyonce — whose real name is Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter — would then follow on an almost annual basis.

On Sunday, she won the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album award for her latest LP Renaissance. She also won Best Dance/Electronic Recording for Break My Soul, Best Traditional R&B Performance for Plastic off the Sofa, and Best R&B Song for Cuff It.

Her haul of 32 is now one higher than the previous record held by the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti.

Beyonce, who announced earlier this month she would be embarking on her first global tour in seven years, was late to the Los Angeles ceremony. She therefore did not collect her first award of the night — Best R&B Song — which Nile Rodgers accepted on her behalf as he was one of the writers of the track.

But thankfully, Queen B arrived in time for her history-making moment. Upon receiving her 32nd Grammy, she said: “I’m trying not to be too emotional, I’m trying to just receive this night.”

Here is the complete list of her honours:
