Nakuha ni Beyonce ang record matapos makuha ang Best R&B Performance award para sa kanyang hit song na Black Parade, isang single na kumikilala sa Black culture at activism na ini-release niya sa gitna ng mass protest na pinasiklab ng pagkamatay ni George Floyd, isang Black man, sa kostudiya ng pulisya noong 2020.
Overall, naiuwi ng 39-anyos na singer—na unang sumikat bilang bahagi ng grupo na
Destiny’s Child bago sumabak sa kanyang matagumpay na solo career—ang apat na tropeo sa awards night.
“I am so honored. I’m so excited,” saad ni Beyonce, na himalang dumalo sa awarding na makailang ulit niyang pinalampas.
“As an artist, I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times. And it’s been such a difficult time,” giit pa ng singer.
Pinuri ng kritiko ang “Black Parade” para sa strong vocals at lyrics nito na “simultaneously condemn racism, issue a call for activism and pay homage to Black culture.”
Ang kinita ng kanta— na lumabas noong June 19 kasabay ng paggunita sa “end of slavery” sa United States – ay napunta sa Black Business Impact Fund ng singer, na sumusuporta sa mga Black-owned small businesses.
“ I wanted to u p l i f t , encourage, celebrate all of the beautiful Black queens and kings that continue to inspire me and inspire the whole world,” pahayag pa ni Beyonce.
