The 2023 Grammys was set up as Beyoncé's Revenge; a comeback match against fellow multiple nominee Adele. When these two superpowers of female fortitude and redemption last clashed in 2017, the Brit singer swept the board - and expressed her dismay in her Album of the Year acceptance speech. "I can't possibly accept this award. I'm very humbled and very grateful and gracious, but [the] artist of my life is Beyoncé. The Lemonade album was so monumental," she sobbed. It was the second time running that Beyoncé had been robbed of the AOTY gong, having lost out to Beck in 2015.
So, though host Trevor Noah spared no airtime in keeping viewers informed as to Queen Bey's progress towards becoming recipient of the most number of Grammys ever - 32, beating the record previously held by Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti - all eyes were on the final award of the night, the 65th Grammys' very own Rocky Balboa moment.
