What is Beyoncé’s highest number of Grammy Awards won by a woman or any singer?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé has won 35 Grammy Awards, the most of any singer and the most by any artist overall.

The Recording Academy recognized Beyoncé’s record total after the 2025 Grammy Awards, when she won Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted,” a collaboration with Miley Cyrus. Her 35th win made her the most decorated artist in Grammy history.

Before reaching that total, Beyoncé had already become the woman with the most Grammy wins in 2021, when she surpassed Alison Krauss. Her wins span multiple categories, including R&B, pop, rap, dance/electronic, and country-related honors.

The Grammy total counts competitive awards, not every nomination or every honor from other organizations. Beyoncé has also received numerous Billboard Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and NAACP Image Awards, but those ceremonies use separate records and categories.
