Beyoncé won four Grammy Awards at the 2021 ceremony, giving her the record for the most Grammy wins by a female artist at that time.
The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards took place on March 14, 2021. Beyoncé’s wins included Best R&B Performance for “Black Parade,” Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for her contribution to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage,” and Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl.”
Her four victories brought her career total to 28 Grammy Awards, surpassing Alison Krauss’s previous record of 27 wins by a female artist. Beyoncé’s achievement was also significant because she became the most-awarded woman in Grammy history at that point.
The record has since changed as later ceremonies added more wins to Beyoncé’s total. The number four in this question refers only to the 2021 ceremony, not her lifetime total. That distinction prevents confusion between awards won at one event and career-wide Grammy counts.
