In what year did Beyoncé become the first woman to win six Grammys in one night?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé became the first woman to win six Grammys in one night in 2010.

She achieved the record at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, held on January 31, 2010. Her six victories recognized work from the album I Am... Sasha Fierce and its associated singles. The wins included Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and Best Contemporary R&B Album.

The six-award result made Beyoncé the woman with the most Grammy wins in a single ceremony at that time. It followed a highly successful period for her, including major performances, chart-topping singles, and the commercial impact of I Am... Sasha Fierce.

The record is often confused with Beyoncé’s later overall Grammy record. In 2023, she became the artist with the most Grammy wins ever, surpassing the previous record held by Georg Solti. The 2010 fact concerns wins at one ceremony, not her lifetime total.
