Beyoncé proved she's kinda, sort of, a little bit like us at last night's [5th February] Grammy awards, when she missed collecting her first gong for a very relatable reason.

After releasing new album Renaissance last summer, and recently announcing her European tour, it's safe to say Queen Bey is back. And with a bang no less, after becoming the most awarded artist in Grammys history during last night's historic evening in Los Angeles, where she won best R&B song, best dance/electronic recording, best dance/electronic album and best traditional R&B performance. In total, she has 32 Grammys.

Hilariously, the singer was a late arrival at the ceremony after being stuck in traffic, meaning she not only missed the red carpet - but also her first award of the night. Unsurprising considering they had to fit four in!

When she had eventually made it into the ceremony, host Trevor Noah presented Beyoncé with her first award, joking, 'She's made it into the building! Ladies and gentleman, Beyoncé Knowles. Thank you so much. I was shocked to find out traffic had stopped you, I thought you travelled through space and time. But I'm glad you could be with us right now.'

After winning the record breaking Grammy award, the 41-year-old said in her acceptance speech: 'I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night.' She also thanked her 'beautiful husband' and the 'queer community for their love and for inventing the genre.'
