Two of the lucky Grammy winners were Beyoncé, who set a record, and daughter Blue Ivy, who was first honored.
The Grammy Awards 2021, which were presented on the night from Sunday to Monday, above all mark a special milestone for the artist family of R&B singer Beyoncé (39), husband, rapper and producer Jay-Z (51) and their daughter Blue Ivy Carter (9). Beyoncé won four of the coveted music prizes: best R&B performance for "Black Parade", best rap song and best rap performance for Megan Thee Stallion (26) featuring Beyoncé with "Savage". She received the award for the best music video together with her daughter Blue Ivy and WizKiD (30) for "Brown Skin Girl".
With 28 awards, the US star has received more Grammy awards than any other female performer. The then 19-year-old received her first Grammy 20 years ago together with Destiny's Child (1990-2005) for the best R&B song and the best R&B performance by a duo or group with "Say My Name". For her daughter Ivy Blue, on the other hand, it was the first major award. At nine years of age, she is now the second youngest artist to receive this award.
Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Co. are also taking off again
Many other big names were among the winners again this year. Billie Eilish (19) won Record of the Year for the second time in a row, this time for "Everything I Wanted". The album of the year award went to Taylor Swift (31) and "Folklore". The song of the year is called "I Can't Breathe" by H.E.R. (23). And Lady Gaga (34) is also among the numerous winners; together with Ariana Grande (27) she delivered the best pop duo / group performance with "Rain on Me". The best R&B album comes with "Bigger Love" by John Legend (42). Megan Thee Stallion is best new artist.
The Grammy Awards were not presented as usual at the Staples Center in Los Angeles because of the corona pandemic. Instead, the performances were spread across different stages. Many musicians were simply switched on.
