Which song earned Beyoncé the 2021 Grammy for Best R&B Performance?

The story behind the answer

“Black Parade” earned Beyoncé the 2021 Grammy for Best R&B Performance.

Beyoncé released “Black Parade” on June 19, 2020, also known as Juneteenth. The song celebrates Black culture, heritage, and solidarity during a period of widespread protests against racial injustice. Its release was accompanied by a directory supporting Black-owned businesses and creators.

At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2021, “Black Parade” won Best R&B Performance. The award was one of four Beyoncé received at that ceremony, bringing her career Grammy total to 28 at the time.

The song is sometimes confused with “Savage,” Megan Thee Stallion’s track that Beyoncé joined for a remix and that won Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance at the same ceremony. “Black Parade” is Beyoncé’s own single and belongs to the R&B category.
