The 2023 Grammy Awards has announced its top honor as Harry Styles takes home Album of the Year for Harry’s House.

The songstress broke the record for all-time most decorated Grammy-winning artist at this year’s Grammys but has yet to win the Album of the Year award. She was previously nominated in the Album of the Year category for I Am… Sasha Fierce in 2009, Beyoncé in 2015, and Lemonade in 2017. In 2011, she was nominated as a featured artist in the category for Lady Gaga‘s The Fame Monster.

At this year’s ceremony alone, Beyoncé took home four awards. Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Album, “Break My Soul” won Best Dance/Electronic Recording, “Plastic Off the Sofa” won Best Traditional R&B Performance, and “Cuff It” won Best R&B Song.
