Grammys 2023: Harry Styles Says There’s No ‘Best in Music’ as Beyonce Fans Get Riled Up Over Album of the Year Defeat. Harry Styles won Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammys
It’s Harry’s House and we’re all living in it. At the 2023 Grammys, Harry Styles won Album of the Year. — but his victory isn’t sitting well with some Beyoncé fans.
On Sunday, February 5, the 29-year-old pop musician won the greatest prize of the evening and, as he accepted his trophy on stage, he showed his support for the other nominees. (Harry’s House was up against Lizzo‘s Special, Beyoncé’s Renaissance, Coldplay‘s Music of the Spheres and more hit records from 2022.)

“Well, s–t,” the former One Direction singer began after a lucky featured fan announced his big win. “Man, I’ve been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me. A lot of different times in my life, I listened to everyone in this category.”
The My Policeman star continued: “I think on nights like tonight it’s so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as best in music. I don’t think any of us sit in the studio making decisions based on what is going to get us one of these. This is really, really kind. I’m so, so grateful. This doesn’t happen to people like me very often. This is so, so nice. Thank you very, very much.”

Earlier in the night, Styles took home the win for Best Pop Vocal Album but lost both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
The “Daylight” crooner’s Grammys success didn’t come as a surprise to his dedicated fan base — Harry’s House debuted at No. 1 in May 2022 — but many viewers believed Beyoncé, 41, deserved the recognition. Despite four nominations in the category over the years — in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2023 — the “Formation” artist has never won Album of the Year.
Beyoncé’s Lemonade was famously overlooked at the 60th Grammy Awards, losing to Adele’s 25. The now 34-year-old British singer made sure to emphasise the Dreamgirls actress’ legacy when winning the award.

“I can’t possibly accept this award, and I’m very humbled and very grateful and gracious, but my life is Beyoncé. … All us artists adore you. You are our light. And the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my Black friends feel is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you. I always have,” Adele gushed in February 2017.
While speaking to press backstage, the “Easy On Me” artist added: “I felt like it was her time to win. What the f–k does she have to do to win Album of the Year?”

The “Cuff It” singer left her imprint on the ceremony even though she lost Harry Styles on Sunday. Beyoncé earned her 32nd Grammy of her career for Best Dance/Electronic Album for Renaissance, becoming her the most decorated performer in the annals of the awards show.
“Thank you so much. I’m trying not to be too emotional and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said as husband Jay-Z watched proudly from the audience. “I want to 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, my mother, for loving me and pushing me.”
The former Destiny’s Child singer continued: “I’d like to thank my beautiful husband, my beautiful three children who are at home watching. I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys.”
