And we’re never getting back together, like, ever.'” In writing songs about stuff like that, I like tipping a hat to the time together. but you shared something.” “And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier.” He continued, “I mean, you’re a little bit awkward to begin with.

“Without You” was released in January in honor of Takeoff, with the lyrics speaking to Quavo’s grief for his loved one and collaborator. She also acknowledged the LGBTQ artists who inspired and directly contributed to “Renaissance.” [Rapper Quavo](http://www.cnn.com/2023/02/05/entertainment/quavo-takeoff-tribute-grammys-in-memoriam-cec/index.html) took the stage with gospel group Maverick City Music for a moving performance of “Without You,” honoring his nephew and fellow Migos member Takeoff during the in memoriam tribute.

"I want to thank all the incredible transgender legends before me so I could be here tonight," she added, shouting out the late trans pop artist SOPHIE in her speech, as well as Madonna and her mother for inspiration. The night was filled with a number of excellent live performances, from longtime Grammy favorites to new-comers to the stage. [Kendrick Lamar](https://www.npr.org/artists/166009689/kendrick-lamar) took home the Grammy for best rap album for his Mr. The 23-year-old cried through her whole acceptance speech, marveling that she won one of the Grammy's biggest prizes "just by being myself." The iconic musician and composer Nile Rogers, one of the co-writers on "Cuff It," accepted the award for best R&B song on the team's behalf along with another of its co-writers, The-Dream. "Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I'm the first transgender woman to win this award," Petras said in her speech. Bonnie Raitt won the song of the year prize for "Just Like That." A half an hour into the show, Beyoncé — who was reportedly late to the awards thanks to LA traffic — tied the all-time record for most Grammys won when she and a team of co-writers won best R&B song for "Cuff It." Lizzo took song of the year for "About Damn Time." Later, she gave credit to her forbearers and inspiration, adding: "I would like to thank the queer community for your love, and for inventing the genre," referring to the house music that grounded RENAISSANCE. "This is so kind," Styles said of the album of the year award, as Beyoncé gave him a standing ovation. Beyoncé has now captured more Grammy awards than any other artist, thanks to a quartet of trophies for her album RENAISSANCE.

Beyonce won her 32nd award, breaking a 26-year-old record. But as in years past, the album of the year honour eluded her.

The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said “I just EGOT” after she marched on stage to collect her award. "I wrote this book to honour the six-year-old Viola, to honour her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis said. … I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve in order to make this.

A who’s who of hip-hop royalty took the stage for an epic, rousing 15-minute tribute to the genre’s 50th anniversary. I don’t know what to say,” a visibly stunned Raitt said, adding that the song Just Like That explores organ donation. Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Taylor Swift and Beyonce to win the song of the year award. The New Yorker was virtually in tears when she collected the award and noted that her little brother was her date. Host Trevor Noah said she was on her way to the ceremony but blamed Los Angeles traffic for not being in person to accept it. Styles was emotional accepting his album of the year award for Harry's House, saying he was inspired by everyone in the category. The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. “I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said after her historic win as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her.

Harry Styles and Lizzo both won top prizes while Beyoncé became the most decorated artist in Grammy history at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

Riding that wave, it seemed Beyoncé was finally going to pick up another long-awaited major prize (she’s only won one, Song of the Year in 2010 for “Single Ladies”), if not all three. After paying tribute to “transgender legends” who came before her, like Sophie, as well as LGBTQ advocates like Madonna, Petras said, “I grew up next to a highway in Germany,” she said.

Playing for an amazing group of people every night is my favorite, favorite thing to do.” And in reality I very much feel like the fans create that atmosphere for me, and the room is this energy that almost feels like it’s too magical for me to take any responsibility for,” he said. “It’s amazing to see the way songs that mean so much to me, to see how much they mean to other people when you're playing for them. “More than anything, it just kind of feels like validation that you're on the right path,” said Styles in the press room after his win.

Not only did the singer take home two Grammy Awards on Sunday evening, but he also served up some of the ceremony's most talked-about outfits.

Taking the stage to scoop up the coveted Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for "Harry's House," he looked dapper in a cropped white suit jacket and wide-legged tan-colored pants. Others dubbed the look an example of "clowncore," while the singer also drew comparisons — both favorable and disparaging — to two of Britain's most flamboyant pop icons: Elton John and David Bowie. The former One Direction star began the night in a plunging technicolor jumpsuit that revealed a collection of butterfly and bird tattoos on his otherwise bare chest.

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.

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.

Beyoncé lost Album of the Year for Renaissance at the Grammys, for a fourth time, to Harry Styles's album Harry's House. Why did Harry Styles win the top ...

In [the new Songwriter of the Year award](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/songwriter-of-the-year-grammy-why-it-matters.html), two of the five nominees had cuts on Styles’s album, including the eventual winner, Tobias Jesso Jr. (It’s a little surprising “As It Was” didn’t earn any hardware, but the wins for Harry’s House seem to be recognition of the album as a body of hits.) After the Academy was criticized for giving Jon Batiste’s We Are, an album without a single top-40 hit, AOTY last year, Styles’s project gave them the opportunity to be on the pulse, at no expense of its perspective.

As it faded out, Styles and his team teed up hits-in-waiting “Late Night Talking” and “Music for A Sushi Restaurant,” both of which hit the top ten. Styles had a hold on the charts as well, with “As It Was” logging a record five separate runs atop the Hot 100, from its No. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, or Lizzo stole votes from her, why didn’t the same happen to Styles with ABBA, Adele, or Coldplay?)
