The Grammys kicked off on Monday with Beyonce and Megan Thee Stallion, taking home an early award for their collaboration for the hit track ‘Savage Remix’. While this was another win to Beyonce’s big collection of Grammy’s it was rap sensation Megan’s first prize at the awards show.

The mostly virtual ceremony falls nearly a year to the day after Covid-19 grounded tours and forced performance venues to close, as the music world tries to move past a crushing 2020 with a celebration of its biggest stars.

Beyonce captured her first trophy of the day for Best Music Video, an award she shared with her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, who was in the clip for ‘Brown Skin Girl’. The megastar did not Zoom in to accept the prize from the Recording Academy that many say has failed her in the past, with repeated snubs in past years for critically acclaimed work.

She snagged her second prize for her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, and has four more chances to win.

With this win, the female stars created history and a Guinness World Records. According to the latest post on the GWR Twitter handle, the powerhouse artists are “officially the FIRST female artists to ever win the category for Best Rap Performance at the @RecordingAcad- thanks to their hit ‘Savage Remix’.”

“Imma cry!” said Megan via video chat to accept the award for Best Rap Performance for “Savage,” fanning her eyes as she thanked Beyonce along with her late mother.

“Thank you Mama for pushing me and knowing that I was gonna be here,” the superstar rapper said.

“Thank you hotties, thank you Houston!” she continued, referring to her adoring fans and home city.

Beyonce’s sweeping ‘Black Parade’ — released in June amid explosive nationwide anti-racism protests after another spate of deadly police violence targeting African-Americans — has her up for the coveted Record and Song of the Year awards that will be doled out near the gala’s end.

She is also now the most nominated female artist in Grammy history with 79 career nods, leads this award season with nine nominations.
