    Beyoncé also won Best R&B Song for "CUFF IT" and took home two more awards — Best Dance/Electronic Recording for “BREAK MY SOUL” and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA.”

    With this win, Beyoncé officially broke the record as the artist with the most Grammy awards of all time. Yes, really.

    The previous record-holder was Hungarian conductor Sir Georg Solti, who won his 31st award in 1998 posthumously.

    As is to be expected, Beyoncé's acceptance speech for this historic occasion was emotional and real.

    “I’m trying not to be too emotional, and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said while taking the stage. “I want to thank God for protecting me. I’d like to thank my uncle Jonny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.”

    Renaissance is dedicated to Beyoncé's Uncle Jonny, who passed away due to complications from HIV.

    She also thanked her family before concluding, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre.”
