So cozy! Beyoncé joined husband Jay-Z at the 2023 Grammy Awards after missing her first win of the night.
The Dreamgirls star, 41, sat beside Jay-Z, 53, inside of the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 5, with host Trevor Noah personally handing her the trophy for Best R&B Song. The category was announced earlier in the night, but Beyoncé had not yet arrived.
“The queen is officially in the building. … I was shocked to find out that traffic could stop you, I thought you traveled through space and time,” the Daily Show host, 38, said as he presented her with the Grammy.
The former Destiny’s Child singer is up for nine trophies at Sunday’s awards show, including Album of the Year for her seventh studio record, Renaissance. The album dropped to rave reviews in July 2022 and is also nominated in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category.

The lead single off Renaissance, “Break My Soul,” is recognized for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Dance/Electronic Recording, while “Virgo’s Groove” is nominated for Best R&B Performance. Beyoncé also has the chance to take home wins for Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Song Written for Visual Media. (The Texas native contributed “Be Alive” to the King Richard soundtrack.)
Beyoncé is the most-nominated artist at the 2023 ceremony. Her nine nods brought her career total to 88 Grammy nominations — meaning she’s tied with her husband for the most nominations of all time.
