Beyonce shared a kiss with husband Jay-Z before approaching the stage at the 57th Annual Grammys to accept an award for Best R&B Performance for their song, “Drunk In Love.”
Also nominated for album of the year, Beyonce is the most recognized female in Grammy history with 47 nominations in total.
“I wanted to thank my beloved husband, I love you deep,” she said onstage.
Her surprise album, “Beyonce,” sold over 5 million copies since its debut in late 2013.
Beyonce’s win with Jay-Z in the R&B category defeated such acts as Usher, Chris Brown, Rick Ross and Jhene Aiko.
Prior to tonight’s award, Beyonce won a Grammy in the Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Love On Top” in 2012. She also won six Grammys in 2009, including song of the year for “Single Ladies.”
