History Is Made At The 65th Annual Grammy Awards
By Tirany Reeves
This year’s 65th An
nual Grammy Awards cere
mony was held at the Crypto,
com Arena in Fos Angeles on
February 5,2023 and hosted by
Trevor Noah, returning for his
third year at the gig. Notable
moments throughout the pro
gram included the celebration
of 2023 as the 50th Anniversary
of Hip-Hop, Beyonce reaching
the record of holding the most
Grammys in the history of the
award, and Viola Davis receiv
ing EGOT (Emmy, Grammy,
Oscar, and Tony) status.
A three-part perfor
mance honoring hip-hop’s 50th
anniversary curated by Quest-
love (The Roots) gave viewers
a quick trip through rap history
courtesy of a few dozen stars.
There were appearances from
legendary artists including
Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC,
DJ Jazzy Jeff, Salt-N-Pepa,
Flava Flav (Public Enemy),
Ice T, Queen Fatifa, FF Cool J,
Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Nelly,
Missy Elliott, Fil Wayne, Glo-
rilla and many more.
Beyonce, who arrived
late to the ceremony due to traf
fic, became the most decorated
artist in Grammy history at this
year’s Grammys. Beyonce,
who already held the title of the
most decorated female artist in
Grammy history, surpassed
the late conductor Georg Solti
for the title after winning her
32nd Grammy award for Best
Dance/Electronic Recording
with RENAISSANCE. She also
tied with her husband, Jay-Z,
in the record for most nomina
tions ever at 79 with her nine
nominations for the night. She
took the stage for an emotion
al acceptance speech in which
she thanked her late uncle, the
queer community, her husband
Jay-Z, her parents, and her chil
dren. Beyonce gathered three
other awards earlier that eve
ning, for a total of four Gram
mys, including Best R&B Song
0CUFF IT), Best Traditional
R&B Performance (Plastic Off
The Sofa), and Best Dance/
Electronic Recording (Break
My Soul). In her career, she has
still yet to win Album of the
Year (Harry Styles - Harry's
House) after being overlooked
in the category four times. Fiz-
zo (Record of the Year - About
Damn Time) recognized Bey
during her acceptance speech
saying she skipped school in
the 5th grade to see Beyonce
perform a gospel medley that
changed her life and made her
“want to make people feel this
way with my music”, calling
her “the artist of our lives.”
Viola Davis became
the 18th person in history to
emerge as an EGOT (Emmy,
Grammy, Tony, and Oscar)
winner after collecting all four
major entertainment awards.
She picked up a win for Best
Audio Book, Narration and
Storytelling Recording for
Finding Me. She collected her
award and mentioned in her
impassioned speech that she
“wrote this book to honor the
6-year-old Viola,” honoring
her.
There were many
more memorable moments
from the 2023 Grammy cer
emony. One came during the
In Memoriam segment with a
heart-wrenching tribute from
Quavo to his late nephew and
collaborator, Takeoff (Migos,
Unc & Phew), Kacey Mus-
graves’ tribute to Foretta Fynn,
and Bonnie Raitt and Mick
Fleetwood’s tribute to Chris
tine Me Vie. Kendrick Famar
took home two Grammys, to
taling 16 overall, for Best Rap
Performance (The Heart Part
5) and Best Rap Album {Mr.
Morales & The Big Steppers).
Young artists Samara Joy (Best
Jazz Album - Linger Awhile)
and Muni Fong (Best R&B
Performance - Hrs & Hrs)
nabbed awards and Kim Petras
became the first transgender
winner of Best Pop Duo/Group
Performance with collaborator
Sam Smith for Unholy.
