The Grammys typically make for an eventful ceremony, with [unexpected](https://time.com/6251940/grammys-2023-predictions-who-should-will-win/) moments every year.

It was a heartwarming moment for Beyoncé, who was in tears as she took the stage to accept her award. And Harry Styles set off the discourse when he won Album of the Year for _Harry’s House_ and said, “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often.” This caused an uproar on social media, as [many fans wrote about Beyoncé losing the night’s biggest prize and only being awarded once](https://time.com/6253244/beyonce-grammys-album-of-the-year-history/) in the ceremony’s Big Four category. **Read More**: [_Was SZA's_ SOS _Worth The Wait?
