In addition to her Grammy win for “Brown Skin Girl,” Bey was recognized for her contribution to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage.” The track won Best Rap Performance, marking the hip-hop breakout’s first Grammy and bringing Beyoncé one step closer to becoming the most-awarded female artist in the awards’ history.

Kanye West’s “Jesus Is King” was also named Best Christian Contemporary Music Album, John Legend won Best R&B Album for his LP “Bigger Love,” and Tiffany Haddish’s “Black Mitzvah” took home Best Comedy Album honors. Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga also won Best Pop Duo/Group performance for their duet “Rain on Me.”
