Harry Styles, Lizzo & Beyoncé Among Big Winners At 2023 Grammys

Harry Styles, Lizzo and Beyoncé were among the big winners at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

Beyoncé became the most awarded artist in Grammys history after winning in four categories Sunday night, but she went home empty-handed in the major categories once again.

The 41-year-old pop star won the award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for her celebrated euphoric album Renaissance.

Queen Bey also won Best Dance/Electronic Recording award for "Break My Soul," Best Traditional R&B Performance award for "Plastic Off The Sofa" and Best R&B Song for the joyful single "Cuff It."

Lizzo, who won Record of the Year for About Damn Time, said in her acceptance speech, "You clearly are the artist of our lives," referring to Beyoncé.

Styles won the biggest prize of the night - Album of the Year - for his third LP, Harry's House, beating favorites Beyoncé and Adele.

Harry's House was also selected as the Best Pop Vocal Album.

The British star delivered a heartfelt speech, saying, "I've been so so inspired by every artist in this category with me at a lot of different times in my life."

"I think on nights like tonight it's obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as 'best' in music. This doesn't happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice," he added.

Halsey's 'Without Me' Certified Diamond By RIAA

Halsey has achieved a milestone in her music career as her 2018 smash hit "Without Me" officially became the 100th Diamond single in the history of the RIAA.

"Without Me" marks the genre-blending singer's second overall Diamond single. The first was "Closer," Halsey's collaboration with The Chainsmokers.

Instituted by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to recognize remarkable achievements from artists and their label teams, Diamond level certification is given when a song hits the milestone of more than 10 million certified units.

Celebrating the big news, Halsey posted a photo of her holding the RIAA trophy and certification on Instagram.

"Yesterday was just a littleeee out-of-body. Without Me is the milestone 100th Diamond Certified RIAA record! (Diamond certified means it is 10x platinum in the United States!)" she captioned the photo. "Without Me is my second diamond record, Closer was my first, but my very first one solo!"

"There were a few other really special stats I learned as well including that I have 75x platinum certifications across my catalog. This whole thing is so surreal," Halsey added, referring to another milestone that her discography has achieved.
