Former US first lady Mitchell Obama has congratulated Beyoncé after she won a record-breaking 32nd Grammy Award.
Beyoncé made history as she won best dance/electronic album for her euphoric dance opus, Renaissance.
“Congratulations Beyonce for making history. Thank you for blessing us all with the music we live our lives to—the songs that keep us singing and dancing and talking. You deserve all this and more!” she said.
Beyoncé beat Hungarian-British conductor George Solti"s record of 31 Grammy awards which had been upfront for more than 20 years.
She won four prizes at the ceremony including R&B songs, dance recording, traditional R&B performance and dance electronic performance.
"I'm trying not to be too emotional, I'm trying to just receive this night," she said.
She also thanked her family and her late uncle who motivated her in dance music, and its historical ties to the LGBTQ community, in Renaissance.
Beyoncé has previously said his battle with HIV influenced her interest in dance music, and its historical ties to the LGBTQ community, on Renaissance.
Overall, Beyoncé won four prizes at the ceremony - but missed some of the early presentations after getting stuck in gridlocked downtown Los Angeles.
"I'm surprised traffic could stop you," joked host Trevor Noah. "I thought you travelled through space and time."
