Beyonce, 41, won the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album award for her latest album 'Renaissance'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Beyonce's history-making Grammys award was presented to her by British TV host James Corden, who said it was an “honour” to be able to do it. The decision is now being criticized on social media. “We are witnessing history tonight,” James Corden said before announcing the award. Beyonce, 41, won the best dance/electronic music album award for her latest album 'Renaissance', which takes her total to 32. 

The 2023 Grammys, officially known as the 65th Grammy Awards, is airing live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Hosted by Trevor Noah, the event is airing on CBS and Paramount+. It recognizes the best recordings, compositions, and artists from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022.

Beyonce's Grammys win

On winning the award, Beyonce became the most decorated artist in the history of Grammys as she surpassed the 26-year-old record that late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti once held. The song was written by various writers, including Beyonce, The-Dream, Nile Rodgers, and Raphael Saadiq.

'Weirdest decision of the night'

Fans slammed the decision to let Corden present the award to Beyonce, considering he has now become a controversial figure. He has sparked criticism in the past for incidents like mocking BTS at the UN assembly and lashing out at the waiters at the Balthazar restaurant in New York. The owner of New York’s Balthazar, Keith McNally, even called him out as the "most abusive customer".

"Who felt that corden needed to be the person to hand beyonce her history making grammy. and why," one user wrote on Twitter. Another said, "I’m not a Beyoncé Stan & even I thought that was weird." "Weirdest decision of the night," said a user.

"James Corden giving Beyoncé a Grammy," wrote one user, sharing a funny meme, to which another replied, "It’s literally that meme of how James Corden manages to squeeze himself into every situation". "Just realized James Corden presented and gave Beyoncé the Grammy that broke the record and made history.. future generations will always see his a** in this historic moment," one user said.

"It’s actually sick and twisted that now everytime you see a recap of Beyoncé breaking history by winning the most Grammys ever you have to watch the evil little demon James Corden’s announcement first. Disgusting," one user wrote, while another added, "Anyone find it odd that James Corden was the one who presented @Beyonce with the history making award".
