The 65th Annual Grammy Awards was not only a celebration of the best in music, but the winners broke several records during the process.

Taking out the top awards of the evening were Lizzo, who won record of the year for About Damn Time, Bonnie Raitt, who won song of the year for her track Just Like That, Samara Joy for best new artist and Harry Styles for album of the year for Harry’s House.

Host Trevor Noah even invited the “super fans” who had been featured throughout the night to help present the final award for the evening.

However, it was undoubtedly Beyoncé Knowles’ night, with the singer breaking the record for the most Grammy wins of all time.

The Renaissance artist has won an incredible 32 in her career so far — with four of them won during this year’s ceremony.

While an absolutely outstanding feat, she wasn’t the only one to make history.

During the awards show, Dr Dre won the first-ever Black Music Collective’s Dr Dre Global Impact Award, creating the accolade for future winners.

“I’m extremely moved by this award,” he said. “This is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and where would I be without it.”

Sam Smith took the top prize for Best pop duo/group performance for Unholy alongside Kim Petras — who is the first-ever transgender woman to win a Grammy.

“I’m the first transgender woman to win the award,” she said. “I just want to thank all the transgender artists who kicked the door open in order for me to be here tonight.”

Earlier in the evening, actress Viola Davis achieved EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status after she won the best audiobook, narration and storytelling recording award for her memoir, Finding Me.

Other winners included Dave Chapelle for best comedy album, Taylor Swift for best music video, Kendrick Lamar for best rap album and Adele’s Easy on Me for best pop solo performance.
