Beyoncé leads with nine nominations for her album Renaissance, tying her for most all-time nominations with her husband, Jay Z – but will she show up?

A controversial pre-telecast award: Dave Chappelle wins best comedy album for his special The Closer, which drew criticism for being transphobic. “It has just been such a journey,” she said in accepting the award. Bad Bunny has kicked off the show with a rousing Spanish-language performance that has brought dozens of dancers to the stage, cast in red and orange lighting. Styles described making Harry’s House with two of his best friends as “the greatest experience of my life” and playing it for people “the greatest joy I could’ve asked for.” More interesting: the camera cut to Taylor Swift for a reaction shot, which feels rude. Another new bit for this year: a fan focus group for the album of the year award. “Beyoncé is on her way,” Noah reassures when she does not take the stage to accept her 31st Grammy award, tying the record for all-time wins.

She went on to thank the late, transgender pop artist Sophie for "kicking these doors open", and Madonna "for fighting for LGBTQ rights", before dedicating the award to her mother. The singer told the audience she had written the first verse "in the shower when I was choosing to change my son's life", by divorcing her then-husband, Simon Konecki. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," said the German-born singer.

Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Swift and Beyoncé to win the song of the year award.

The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. But the superstar was a constant presence throughout the night, even when she wasn't in the room, especially once she won her 32nd award and surpassed late composer Georg Solti in all-time wins.

It’s been more than a decade since Harry Styles and Taylor Swift dated and called it quits, leaving millions of heartbroken fans But at the [Grammy Awards](https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2023-grammys-winners-list-1235211974/) Sunday night (Feb. It remains to be known what their brief conversation was about, but whatever it was, they were all smiles throughout. 5), the two singers proved that, though long [broken up](https://www.billboard.com/lists/harry-styles-talks-about-taylor-swift-timeline/), Mom and Dad are on great terms, taking time to chat and support one another during the ceremony. In an onsite video captured during Steve Lacy’s performance of “Bad Habit,” Swift can be seen making her way over to Styles’ table in her glitzy, midnight-blue two-piece gown.

Harry Styles' acceptance speech after he won the Grammy award for album of the year caused an uproar on social media Sunday night.

Styles was up against Beyoncé and eight other artists, including Bad Bunny, Lizzo, Adele and Kendrick Lamar. Thank you very much,” Styles said, before handing the microphone off to his co-writers Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. “I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music.

Even as gender and masculinity are more fluid than ever, it can still rankle when male stars co-opt traditionally gay codes and styles.

Queer, in this era, means what you say it means: It can mean “I haven’t, but I’d try it” or “I don’t see myself as traditionally heterosexual” or “I don’t want anybody to think I lack imagination” or “My sense of my own sexual identity or tastes is that they’re out of the mainstream” or “I would, but only with Harry Styles” or “I don’t know yet.” “Queer” is one-size-fits-all; there is no entrance requirement. [tweet](https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/omar-apollo-shuts-down-queerbaiting-rumors-nsfw-tweet-1235178135/), he refuted the charge explicitly (in both senses of the word) with a concise reply saying, “No I b [participating in a common consensual same-sex activity described in two words that this publication would be perfectly OK with you Googling] fr [for real].” It’s great when it’s that easy. “Queer” is used by some gay men interchangeably with “gay,” and you can just as easily identify as queer and lesbian, queer and bisexual, queer and trans. The first is “Straight; heterosexual and cisgender; a Kinsey zero.” The second is “Anything other than that.” “Queer” has come to stand in for option number two, and it has created a tent so big that some of the people inside it aren’t completely comfortable with the company they’re keeping. (And what someone deciding whether to hire an actor is entitled to ask about that actor’s sexuality is, for very good reasons, also nothing.) The price of a ticket entitles you only to good work — if you’re lucky; it doesn’t buy you the promise that you’re going to be witnessing embodied personal history. The idea that homosexuality can be teased in flourishes and gestures recalls a much more repressive era (five decades ago) in which gay performers like Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly couldn’t do more than occasionally throw a plausibly deniable smirk to their “if you know, you know” gay fan base if they wanted to remain employable. And what about his role in last year’s period drama “ [My Policeman](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/20/movies/my-policeman-review.html)” as a gay British cop in the 1950s prevented from living his truth by a stultifying and bigoted world? And at least one version of Styles is very [maybe-something-else](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/arts/music/pop-men-harry-styles-jack-harlow-bad-bunny.html): the one posing in a dress on the cover of a women’s fashion magazine. And in truth, “L.G.B.T.” has always been an imperfect portmanteau, since its first three letters are shorthand for “Who I’m attracted to” and its fourth is a shorthand for “Who I am.” Today, for many very young people eager to discover and announce their identities long before they’ve had any sexual experience with another person, the designation they select is much likelier to connote “This is me” than “This is what I do.” And the idea here is laudable: Nobody should have to go through life, especially adolescent life, experiencing the loneliness that comes with feeling that there’s not even a word with which they can describe themselves. A quick primer, for those of you who, like me, are over a certain age and may be more familiar with the term “gay baiting”: This is one of those squirmy evolving-language things in which, faster than you might ever imagine, a phrase comes to mean almost exactly the opposite of what it once meant. How many of you know what that label cost people to obtain?” Not that the label itself carries much weight with Zoomers; the term “L.G.B.T.,” first coined more than 30 years ago, is now seen by many young people as a relic, little more than a makeshift beta test undertaken by their parents’ generation. Right now, the most charged queer-baiting discussion is about men — not a surprise, since any trace of sexual ambiguity in a male star has always excited an intense degree of interest, suspicion and paranoia about the perceived undermining of masculinity.

Harry Styles winning over Beyoncé didn't sit well for many online, and one guy in the building wasn't pleased either -- screaming in indignation ... and ...

and he continued to express his outrage after posting his scream video -- throwing up another clip that shows people filing out of the building during the final performance (post-Harry win). He also wrote this, "Off to the #GRAMMYs after-party I go. Turns out, the Beyoncé superfan's a journalist from Philly. but now, the fella has ID'd himself -- posting a video from the nosebleeds, where he was sitting, which shows the moment he made his protest. However, the outrage clearly made its way into Crypto.com Arena ... and outing himself as the yeller. They exploit diverse talent for ratings only for them to play these games."

There's also a lot of noise about the fact that Harry said this type of thing doesn't usually happen to "people like me" -- with the Internet collectively scratching their heads.

After taking home Album of the Year, Harry Styles' ill-advised acceptance speech only highlighted the Recording Academy's worst instincts.

Seminal MC Gangsta Boo was snubbed from an In Memoriam segment the same year hip-hop luminaries gathered to honor the [50th anniversary](https://www.avclub.com/grammys-hip-hop-tribute-artists-1850076552) of the genre. His point has some merit: he sold out [fifteen straight nights](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/harry-styles-madison-square-garden-banner-raising-1234597708/) at Madison Square Garden, tapped into a certain ubiquitous liquid gold with “As It Was,” and has far and away proven himself to be the most enduring and interesting member of One Direction a decade on. The Recording Academy relishes in lauding white, male artists who approach queerness and diversity the same way a Target display does during pride month: as something to be sanitized, perfected, and mass-distributed. The fact is, “this” happens to guys like Harry Styles all the time. [local bakery](https://secretmanchester.com/harry-styles-bakery-holmes-chapel/). Despite the outrage it fostered, most didn’t categorize Styles’ win as anything close to a surprise—at this point, some sort of egregious fuckery is as essential to the ceremony as a Trevor Noah hosting spot.

Harry Styles said 'this doesn't happen to people like me very often' and I gotta be honest I can't think of a type of people this happens for more.”

i need you to be so fcking fr it only ever happens to ‘people like you,’” one person hit back. Particularly considering that the overwhelming majority of Album of the Year winners since 1959 have been white cis men, just like Harry. “don’t get me wrong i like harry styles i just don’t know why he said that specifically? “Absolutely Love Harry Styles and lots of his music. “I think on nights like tonight it’s important for us to remember there is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” he said. And so, when Harry’s name got called out, it looked like he was just as shocked as everyone else.
