How Beyoncé became the most awarded artist at the Grammy Awards
After confirming her status as the ultimate music icon with her very personal album Lemonade in 2016, she was expected to scoop multiple Grammys in one night. But out of nine nominations, only two paid off, and one of them relegated it to Best Urban Contemporary Album (now renamed Best Progressive R&B Album). A classification that was surprising, given the diversity of genres present on this album, including country (Daddy Lessons) and rock (Don't Hurt Yourself, with Jack White). That year, Beyoncé was also nominated for the prestigious Album of the Year category for the third time – again without winning it. As Adele, winner that year for her album 25, had then declared: “We wonder what she has to do to win the album of the year! »
Faced with a career crowned with repeated success, records, and cultural influence so intense that it is studied in certain universities, perhaps the fact of not having yet obtained the Album of year is good, and thus leaves him with a goal. Whether she admits it or not — music is so much more than award shows — you don't reach Beyoncé's level without a desire to achieve the highest recognition in the industry. Fingers crossed that she will release another surprise album soon, which may allow her to realize this dream in 2022.
