Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Megan Thee Stallion took home some of the biggest awards at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.

Beyoncé made history when she became the female artist with the most Grammy wins with her 28th win. She passed the previous record holder, Alison Krauss, who has 27 wins.

Taylor Swift was honored with the album of the year award for "folklore," an award she's won twice before. The record of the year award went to Billie Eilish for "Everything I Wanted."

Dua Lipa took home the award for best pop vocal album for her second studio album, "Future Nostalgia," while R&B singer H.E.R.'s meaningful song centered on racial injustice, "I Can't Breathe," was honored with the award for song of the year. Megan Thee Stallion won the coveted best new artist award.

Trevor Noah hosted Sunday's show from the Los Angeles Convention Center. The show was originally scheduled to take place on Jan. 31 but was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns after a surge in cases in Los Angeles County.

Chart-topping artists including Swift, BTS, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny and more delivered incredible performances throughout the show.

Music venues affected by the COVID-19 pandemic also honored during the show. Workers from those venues, along with others, presented several categories during the show.
