Imagine winning a Grammy Award while stuck in traffic… Well that’s exactly what happened to Beyoncé on Sunday (February 5) as she made her way to the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
LA is notorious for its traffic, and it seems that even Queen Bey isn’t immune to bumper-to-bumper traffic while trying to make it to an event on time. While EGOT winner Viola Davis presented the Renaissance singer with the award for Best R&B song for “Cuff It,” the crowd was at a loss when she didn’t walk on stage. That’s when host Trevor Noah revealed that Bey was still on her way to the show, much to Lizzo‘s, and many others’, disappointment.
The award also signifies that Beyoncé is one win away from making Grammys history as she ties with composer Georg Solti for the most Grammy wins of all time. As she is up for more awards throughout the ceremony, fans eagerly anticipate the next win that will cement her in the record books.
Beyoncé was nominated for several awards during music’s biggest nights, including Record of the Year (“BREAK MY SOUL”), Album of the Year (Renaissance), Song of the Year (“BREAK MY SOUL”), Best Dance/Electronic Recording (“BREAK MY SOUL”), Best R&B Performance (“Virgo’s Groove”) and more.
