Harry Styles

Beyoncé has broken the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time, after collecting her 32nd trophy at this year's ceremony. The singer made history ...

"I grew up next to nowhere in Germany and my mother believed me, that I was a girl," she said, as Smith looked on with pride. "From making it with two of my best friends to playing for people has been the greatest joy I could have asked for." If you have a story suggestion email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). "I made this album with love and passion, and when you do things with love and passion, everything is easier," said the singer. "I'm surprised traffic could stop you," joked host Trevor Noah once she arrived. Kacey Musgraves played a heartfelt version of Coal Miner's Daughter in tribute to the "Queen of Country" Loretta Lynn; while Fleetwood Mac star Christine McVie was honoured with a performance of her signature hit, Songbird, by Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt and Mick Fleetwood. She went on to thank the late, transgender pop artist Sophie for "kicking these doors open", and Madonna "for fighting for LGBTQ rights", before dedicating the award to her mother. The singer told the audience she had written the first verse "in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life", by divorcing her then-husband, Simon Konecki. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," said the German-born singer. "This album from start to finish has been the greatest experience of my life," he said. She's up for the night's main prize, album of the year, as well as song and record of the year, both for her number one single Break My Soul. "I'm trying not to be too emotional," said the star, accepting the prize.

Singer Beyoncé has won her 32nd career Grammy, breaking the record for the artist with the most trophies in the history of the awards show.

LOS ANGELES — (AP) — Harry Styles won album of the year at Sunday's Grammy Awards, taking home the top honor on a night that Beyoncé dominated and became the ceremony's most decorated artist. Beyoncé won her 32nd award, breaking a 26-year-old record.

The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said "I just EGOT" after she marched on stage to collect her award. Noah hosted the ceremony as well, which saw [Jon Batiste take home](https://apnews.com/article/grammy-awards-chris-rock-covid-entertainment-health-6ce7f74b3cc70f3ead2659135415f839) album of the year. "I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. … I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve in order to make this. Thank you.” She has released two albums as a lead artist and also won the Grammy for best jazz vocal album earlier in the night. A who’s who of hip-hop royalty took the stage for an epic, rousing 15 minute tribute to the genre’s 50th anniversary. Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Swift and Beyoncé to win the song of the year award. The New Yorker was virtually in tears when she collected the award and noted that her little brother was her date. “It feels like validation that you’re on the right path,” said the singer backstage. “I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said after her historic win as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. But the superstar was a constant presence throughout the night, even when she wasn't in the room, especially once she won her 32nd award and surpassed late composer Georg Solti in all-time wins.

The One Direction alumni beat out a star-studded field, including Adele, Beyonce and even Abba, to take out the night's biggest award.

She did it for Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording winner with Finding Me. In doing so he beat out a major field of stars including Abba, Adele and Beyonce, who now gholds the all-time record for the highest number of Grammys ever won on 32. Harry Styles has won Album of the Year with Harry’s House, arguably taking out the biggest award for the 65th annual Grammy Awards.

The Recording Academy, which organises the Grammy's, has been trying to diversify its membership amid criticism.

He performed his single As It Was during the ceremony, decked head to toe in silver lame. I am trying just to receive this night,” Beyonce said at the ceremony on Sunday. “I am trying not to be too emotional.

Styles, who also won for Best Pop Vocal Album, discussed the continuity of creating the album, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart when it was ...

“So we are always writing and like to attempt to have the same intention behind what we are making.” “The atmosphere that is created in live music and the experiencing of that... Playing for an amazing group of people every night is my favorite, favorite thing to do.” And in reality I very much feel like the fans create that atmosphere for me, and the room is this energy that almost feels like it’s too magical for me to take any responsibility for,” he said. “It’s amazing to see the way songs that mean so much to me, to see how much they mean to other people when you're playing for them. “More than anything, it just kind of feels like validation that you're on the right path,” said Styles in the press room after his win.

Taylor Swift was Harry Styles' most supportive ex as the two singers shared a sweet moment at the 2023 Grammys.

“Because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. Fans shared footage of the moments on Twitter: Is it three days?’ And so, you know, I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that’s kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that’s not always what you get. “The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety,” she recalled then. Both Styles and Swift were competing in the Song of the Year category (Swift for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” and Styles for “As It Was”) and Best Music Video category (Swift for All Too Well: The Short Film and Styles for “As It Was”). [Taylor Swift](https://harpersbazaar.com.au/taylor-swift-midnights-review/) and [Harry Styles](https://harpersbazaar.com.au/harry-styles-style-evolution/) gave the world another rare display of their post-relationship dynamic at the 2023 Grammys.

Beyonce made history as the most awarded artist in Grammys history after picking up another four awards at this year's ceremony.

Despite Beyonce’s record-breaking feat, the singer - the most nominated on the night, with nine nominations, and heavily tipped to sweep the awards’ top prizes - left the ceremony without any wins in the major categories, following upsets in song of the year, record of the year and album of the year. I’m trying not to be too emotional,” she said after her fourth win of the evening, for best dance/electronic album, thanking her husband Jay-Z and her three young children who she said were watching from home.

Follow along as we update our collection of the best looks at this year's Grammy awards, both on the red carpet and on stage.

The Grammys this year picked a group of fans to discuss why their favorite artist deserved to win Grammys, and before this final award of the night was handed ...

All of you are so inspiring to me.” So to be with you, born and raised in the Bronx, New York, my family here. “I listen to everyone in this category when I’m alone.

Not only did the singer take home two Grammy Awards on Sunday evening, but he also served up some of the ceremony's most talked-about outfits.

Taking the stage to scoop up the coveted Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for "Harry's House," he looked dapper in a cropped white suit jacket and wide-legged tan-colored pants. Others dubbed the look an example of "clowncore," while the singer also drew comparisons — both favorable and disparaging — to two of Britain's most flamboyant pop icons: Elton John and David Bowie. The former One Direction star began the night in a plunging technicolor jumpsuit that revealed a collection of butterfly and bird tattoos on his otherwise bare chest.

Beyoncé won a record-breaking 32nd Grammy Award, while Harry Styles won album of the year.

Accepting the album award, he thanked his family “for giving me the courage and giving me the vulnerability to share my truth and share these stories.” It was won by Tobias Jesso Jr., who has written songs for Adele, Styles and others. The prize was chosen by what the academy described as a “blue-ribbon committee.” Harry’s House also won Styles the award for pop vocal album. Raitt (73), was the surprise winner of song of the year – beating Adele, Beyoncé, Swift, Lizzo and Styles, whose songs were huge hits – for Just Like That, a tender meditation about an organ donation that had only modest commercial success. The power of stardom was another of the night’s big underlying themes. “I hope that there’s a future where gender and identity and all these labels don’t matter that much,” Petras told reporters backstage. Gender freedom was a theme running through the night. She had been the most nominated artist of the evening, with nine nods. “You clearly are the artist of our lives!” she shouted. (Even so, Beyoncé faced a backlash recently when she performed a private concert in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where homosexuality is illegal.) But she was once again shut out of the big categories, winning all four of her prizes for the night in down-ballot genre categories.

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

Harry Styles said 'this doesn't happen to people like me very often' and I gotta be honest I can't think of a type of people this happens for more.”

i need you to be so fcking fr it only ever happens to ‘people like you,’” one person hit back. Particularly considering that the overwhelming majority of Album of the Year winners since 1959 have been white cis men, just like Harry. “don’t get me wrong i like harry styles i just don’t know why he said that specifically? “Absolutely Love Harry Styles and lots of his music. “I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” he said. And so, when Harry’s name got called out, it looked like he was just as shocked as everyone else.

It was billed as the shock of the Grammys 2023: Harry Styles took home Album of the Year instead of Beyoncé. But should we be surprised?

This is the fourth Beyoncé album to be snubbed for album of the year at the Grammys, each time she’s been beaten by a white artist: Taylor Swift, Adele, Beck and now Harry Styles. In 66 years of the Grammys, only 15 Black artists have won Album of the Year, ostensibly the top prize at the awards. Black artists are allowed to do well in the R&B, Rap and Reggae categories, maybe sometimes in the pop and vocal performance categories, but the biggest awards seem ring-fenced. Thank you!” He seemed honestly moved and appreciative, and sincerely complimented the rest of the records in his category. He is the absolute prototype for the sort of person this happens to. “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often,” Harry Styles said accepting the Album of the Year award at this year’s Grammys for his excellent Harry’s House.

Even as gender and masculinity are more fluid than ever, it can still rankle when male stars co-opt traditionally gay codes and styles.

Queer, in this era, means what you say it means: It can mean “I haven’t, but I’d try it” or “I don’t see myself as traditionally heterosexual” or “I don’t want anybody to think I lack imagination” or “My sense of my own sexual identity or tastes is that they’re out of the mainstream” or “I would, but only with Harry Styles” or “I don’t know yet.” “Queer” is one-size-fits-all; there is no entrance requirement. [tweet](https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/omar-apollo-shuts-down-queerbaiting-rumors-nsfw-tweet-1235178135/), he refuted the charge explicitly (in both senses of the word) with a concise reply saying, “No I b [participating in a common consensual same-sex activity described in two words that this publication would be perfectly OK with you Googling] fr [for real].” It’s great when it’s that easy. “Queer” is used by some gay men interchangeably with “gay,” and you can just as easily identify as queer and lesbian, queer and bisexual, queer and trans. The first is “Straight; heterosexual and cisgender; a Kinsey zero.” The second is “Anything other than that.” “Queer” has come to stand in for option number two, and it has created a tent so big that some of the people inside it aren’t completely comfortable with the company they’re keeping. (And what someone deciding whether to hire an actor is entitled to ask about that actor’s sexuality is, for very good reasons, also nothing.) The price of a ticket entitles you only to good work — if you’re lucky; it doesn’t buy you the promise that you’re going to be witnessing embodied personal history. The idea that homosexuality can be teased in flourishes and gestures recalls a much more repressive era (five decades ago) in which gay performers like Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly couldn’t do more than occasionally throw a plausibly deniable smirk to their “if you know, you know” gay fan base if they wanted to remain employable. And what about his role in last year’s period drama “ [My Policeman](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/20/movies/my-policeman-review.html)” as a gay British cop in the 1950s prevented from living his truth by a stultifying and bigoted world? And at least one version of Styles is very [maybe-something-else](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/arts/music/pop-men-harry-styles-jack-harlow-bad-bunny.html): the one posing in a dress on the cover of a women’s fashion magazine. And in truth, “L.G.B.T.” has always been an imperfect portmanteau, since its first three letters are shorthand for “Who I’m attracted to” and its fourth is a shorthand for “Who I am.” Today, for many very young people eager to discover and announce their identities long before they’ve had any sexual experience with another person, the designation they select is much likelier to connote “This is me” than “This is what I do.” And the idea here is laudable: Nobody should have to go through life, especially adolescent life, experiencing the loneliness that comes with feeling that there’s not even a word with which they can describe themselves. A quick primer, for those of you who, like me, are over a certain age and may be more familiar with the term “gay baiting”: This is one of those squirmy evolving-language things in which, faster than you might ever imagine, a phrase comes to mean almost exactly the opposite of what it once meant. How many of you know what that label cost people to obtain?” Not that the label itself carries much weight with Zoomers; the term “L.G.B.T.,” first coined more than 30 years ago, is now seen by many young people as a relic, little more than a makeshift beta test undertaken by their parents’ generation. Right now, the most charged queer-baiting discussion is about men — not a surprise, since any trace of sexual ambiguity in a male star has always excited an intense degree of interest, suspicion and paranoia about the perceived undermining of masculinity.

Harry Styles has copped backlash for a comment he made during his Grammys acceptance speech.

[February 6, 2023]

Taylor Swift's subtle response to Harry Styles being heckled by a Beyoncé fan at the 2023 Grammy Awards is straight out of her 'Lover' era.

Neither Harry or Taylor were spotted at any of the Grammy after parties. When I look at this category, it's all people who have inspired me at different times, so it's not like—y'know, you would understand anyone winning. During Harry's acceptance speech for his 'Album Of The Year' win, a Beyoncé fan heckled the singer by yelling out "Beyoncé should've won" in reference to her lauded disco album ' Later, Harry was questioned by the press in regards to the awkward moment and was even asked whether he though Beyoncé should've won the award instead of him. ['All To Well (10 Minute Version)'](https://www.elle.com.au/culture/taylor-swift-all-too-well-26234)and 'Carolina'), "snuck" over to Harry's table during Steve Lacy's performance and "hug + talk for a long time". [Harry's House](https://www.elle.com.au/fashion/harry-styles-late-night-talking-outfits-27336), he also found himself in the centre of a social media storm after being heckled by a Beyoncé fan and arguably shaded by two of the biggest artists (Adele and Lizzo, if you were wondering) for taking home the 'Album Of The Year'.

David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti lashed out at Harry Styles following the Grammys, saying the popstar couldn't shine Bowie's shoes.

Her wins made history, as she became the most decorated artist in Grammy Awards history with 32 trophies, surpassing the Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti. Renaissance had landed at the top of many publications’ end-of-year lists, and while Harry’s House was well-received, it wasn’t exactly lauded. [65th Grammy Awards](https://www.grammy.com/news/2023-grammy-nominations-complete-winners-nominees-list) took place in Los Angeles yesterday, and as usual, there was a fair amount of controversy.

Instead, they would be decided by their voting members - of which they have thousands. If Beyonce had won, she would have been the first black woman to receive the award since 1999. Nominations and winners would no longer be decided by an anonymous committee. Credit: Instagram/@Badbunnypr "Harry styles said “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often” and I gotta be honest I can’t think of a type of people this happens for more," said one person. It seemed to be a genuine surprise for Styles, who opened his speech with the words, "well, shit," with much of the speculation tipping Beyonce to take out the top award for Renaissance.

Beyoncé lost Album of the Year for Renaissance at the Grammys, for a fourth time, to Harry Styles's album Harry's House. Why did Harry Styles win the top ...

In [the new Songwriter of the Year award](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/songwriter-of-the-year-grammy-why-it-matters.html), two of the five nominees had cuts on Styles’s album, including the eventual winner, Tobias Jesso Jr. (It’s a little surprising “As It Was” didn’t earn any hardware, but the wins for Harry’s House seem to be recognition of the album as a body of hits.) After the Academy was criticized for giving Jon Batiste’s We Are, an album without a single top-40 hit, AOTY last year, Styles’s project gave them the opportunity to be on the pulse, at no expense of its perspective. [Shania Twain](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-late-night-talking-boyfriends-shania-twain-coachella.html)) and present ( [Lizzo](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-lizzo-i-will-survive-coachella-surprise-guest.html)). As it faded out, Styles and his team teed up hits-in-waiting “Late Night Talking” and “Music for A Sushi Restaurant,” both of which hit the top ten. Styles had a hold on the charts as well, with “As It Was” logging a record five separate runs atop the Hot 100, from its No. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, or Lizzo stole votes from her, why didn’t the same happen to Styles with ABBA, Adele, or Coldplay?) It also feels beside the point to argue whether Styles deserved AOTY over Beyoncé — [we’ve done that with her past two snubs for Beyoncé and Lemonade](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html), and the answer remains a resounding yes. Beyoncé, on the other hand, added a fourth snub for the top honor to her career, this time for [Renaissance](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html), a spectacular, holistic project celebrating Blackness and queerness that [many critics](https://www.vulture.com/article/best-albums-2022.html) had already declared the record of 2022.
