How many Grammy Awards did Beyoncé win at the 2010 ceremony, setting a record for a female artist at one event?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé won six Grammy Awards at the 2010 ceremony, setting a record for a female artist at one event.

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards took place on January 31, 2010. Beyoncé’s six wins came from work connected mainly with her album I Am... Sasha Fierce and its singles. The achievement made her the female artist with the most Grammy wins in a single night at that time.

Her awards included Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo,” and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “At Last.” She also won Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

The six-award total is distinct from the number of nominations she received and from her lifetime Grammy total. Adele later matched the single-night record in 2012, while Beyoncé went on to surpass the overall Grammy-winning record in 2023. This makes the 2010 ceremony an important milestone in both her career and Grammy history.
