Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammys ever after taking home four more awards to add to the twenty-eight she came with and Lizzo scored the award for record of the year along with our hearts, per usual. One of the most notable moments of the night, though, was when living legend and acting goddess Viola Davis became the eighteenth person in history to earn EGOT status.
ADVERTISEMENT Helen Hayes Actual theater royalty, Helen Hayes, earned her first Oscar for best actress in a leading role in The Sin of Madelon Claudet in 1932. It wouldn’t be until forty-five years later that the fondly lauded “First Lady of American Theater” would solidify her spot in the EGOT club with a Grammy win for best spoken word recording in 1977. She was the first woman to ever claim the coveted quadfecta of awards and also has two separate stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Viola Davis’s historic milestone was just one of the moments that made this year’s Grammy Awards so memorable. The ceremony allowed us to bear witness to some truly amazing women breaking records, earning achievements, and leaving a path for women after them to walk more easily into the success and recognition they deserve. Cheers to all of the incredible women who took home awards this year, and the many more to come.Zoë is a writer and journalist from Minnesota currently based in Chicago.
