We're crazy in love with this comical awards show moment.
Beyoncé won the award for Best R&B Song at the 2023 Grammys, making her officially tied with conductor Georg Solti for the most Grammy wins of all time. The moment marked an incredible honor—but Beyoncé wasn't present for it.
Why she wasn't there to take the stage at the Crypto.com Arena and claim her award? Host Trevor Noah explained the "Halo" singer had a valid reason.
"Beyoncé is on herway," Trevor shared on stage."You know, the upside ofhosting theGrammysin L.A. isthat everyone can be here.The downside of hosting in L.A.Is the traffic.Beyoncé is on her way."
Rest assured, Beyoncé did eventually arrive. Later in the ceremony, Trevor hand delivered her trophy to her table, noting "The queen is officially in the building."
Poking fun at her late arrival, Trevor added,"I was shocked to find out traffic could stop you. I thought you traveled through space and time."
While Beyoncéisn't a time traveler, the opportunity for her to become the most decorated artist in Grammy's history is very much real. After all, the 41-year-old has a whopping nine nominations tonight.
So far, she has already taken the win for Best R&B Song for "Cuff It", Best Traditional R&B Performance for"Plastic Off the Sofa" and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for"Break My Soul." It will only take one more for Beyoncé to have the most Grammy wins of all time, ousting Georg who holds the title.
