Which singer became the most awarded woman in Grammy history in 2021?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé became the most awarded woman in Grammy history in 2021. At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, she won four awards, bringing her career total to 28 Grammys.

Her 2021 wins included Best R&B Performance for “Black Parade,” Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Black Parade,” Best Rap Performance for “Savage” with Megan Thee Stallion, and Best Music Video for “Brown Skin Girl.” The achievement surpassed the previous record for a woman held by Alison Krauss.

Beyoncé later increased her total beyond 28, including four wins at the 65th Grammy Awards in 2023. The record is therefore often stated with different numbers depending on the date of the source. The stable historical fact is that her 2021 ceremony made her the record holder among women.
