Beyonce Is Now The Grammy Award Winner Of All-Time

Published

on

Beyonce made history when she set a new record for most Grammy Award wins on Sunday (05.02.23).

The 41-year-old singer had started the day three victories behind composer Sir Georg Solti – who secured his 31st Grammy in 1997 – but victories in the Best R+B Song, Plastic Off the Sofa’, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Traditional R+B Performance categories saw her equal his haul, and she went one better when ‘Renaissance’ won Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

Beyonce – who also has the joint most Grammy nominations alongside her husband Jay-Z with 88 each – said: “I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I wanna thank God for protecting me.

“Thank you, God. I’d like to thank my Uncle Jonny, who’s not here but he’s here in spirit. I’d like to thank my parents — my father, and my mother, for loving me and pushing me.

“I’d like to thank my beautiful husband and my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys.”

Elsewhere at the ceremony, there were surprise wins in most of the major categories, with Harry Styles beating the likes of Beyonce, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, and Coldplay to Record of the Year for Harry’s House, and Bonnie Raitt triumphing in Song of the Year.

Lizzo won Record of the Year for ‘About Damn Time’ and after dedicating her win to the late Prince, she heaped praise on fellow nominee Beyonce.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny opened the show with a lively performance paying tribute to his native Puerto Rico, while other notable performances included a Motown medley from Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and WanMor, who were joined by Chris Stapleton on guitar, an explosive rendition of ‘Unholy’ from Sam Smith and Kim Petras after they had won the Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance accolade, and a hip-hop tribute that spanned over 15 minutes and saw more than 30 artists take to the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

In what has already been described as one of the best-ever performances at the event, the likes of Salt-N-Pepa, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Queen Latifah, and Busta Rhymes celebrated the 50th anniversary of the genre.

‘Barbie’ Is The Highest-Grossing Movie Of 2023

Published

on

‘Barbie’ has become the highest-grossing movie of 2023.

The blockbuster summer comedy – which stars Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel doll – has reportedly passed ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ at the box office, with Variety revealing that on Saturday (02.09.03), the film has now brought in a total of $1.36 billion since its release in July.

In recent days, ‘Barbie’ also became Warner Bros’ highest-grossing film ever as it passed the record set by ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two’, which was the final instalment of the megahit wizarding franchise based on the magical book series by J.K Rowling.

Greta Gerwig’s smash hit – which also stars Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s boyfriend Ken – was released on the same day as wartime drama ‘Oppenheimer’ and the two films sparked a phenomenon known as Barbeheimer due to their polarity, and the weekend also saw the Christopher Nolan- directed epic become the second-highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

The biopic which chronicles the career of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer has now collected a reported $787 million at the box office, meaning that it has overtaken the record set by Ryan Reynolds’ 2018 hit ‘Deadpool 2’, which made $785 million and was also deemed unsuitable for those under the age of 17.

This means that the drama – which was directed by Christopher Nolan and stars Cillian Murphy as the titular wartime hero – is just behind ‘Joker’ on the list of highest-grossing R-rated movies ever, which became the first movie of its kind to surpass the $1 billion mark following its release in 2019.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ currently stands as the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, having taken $845,522,394 at the box office.

The gospel artist has not only been seen wearing his wife’s clothes but also experimenting with makeup, sparking a wave of criticism and mixed opinions.

In response to Kenyans who urged him to conform to societal norms, Bahati took to Instagram to defiantly proclaim his beauty and shut down his detractors. He wrote, “Unaongea mbaya na nimeiva kuliko dem yako” (You speak ill, yet I am more beautiful than your girlfriend)
