The 2023 Grammy Awards returned to the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday evening, and while Beyoncé made history by breaking the record for the most Grammy wins of all time, Harry Styles took home Album of the Year for his album “Harry’s House.” Styles also won Best Pop Vocal Album.

Beyoncé took home four awards, bringing her career total to 32 — enough to unseat composer Georg Solti as the winningest artist of all time. But this marks the fourth time in a row she’s lost Album of the Year. An astonishing fact for the Grammy record-holder.

Bonnie Raitt pulled an upset in Song of the Year for “Just Like That,” besting the likes of Lizzo, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.

Lizzo, meanwhile, became the first Black woman to win Record of the Year since Whitney Houston in 1994 for “I Will Always Love You.” Lizzo won for “About Damn Time,” stressing the need for positive, feel-good music in her speech. She also devoted a portion of her acceptance speech to Beyoncé, to whom she confessed she skipped school in 5th grade to go see her in concert.

Other noteworthy winners include Adele for Best Pop Solo Performance, Sam Smith and Kim Petras for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Unholy” and Taylor Swift for Best Music Video.

“Encanto” composer Germaine Franco also won Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media, beating out “The Batman” and “The Power of the Dog.”

Earlier Sunday, Viola Davis joined the EGOT club with her win for Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording.
