Beyoncé is officially the most significant person in Grammy history and no one is prouder about the feat than her dad!
The sensational songstress may have started her career as part of the girl group Destiny's Child. However, Queen Bey has broken more records as a solo act and continues to prove herself as an undisputed GOAT in the music industry.
The R&B goddess emerged triumphant at the 2023 Grammys, defeating the late classical music icon, Georg Solti, for the most Grammy award wins. Following this historic moment, the 41-year-old's father, Matthew Knowles, acknowledged her achievement in a touching tribute.
Beyoncé Receives Heartfelt Post From Dad Matthew Knowles For Her Latest Grammy Feat
When it comes to the most beloved and recognized female singers in the 21st century, the "Single Ladies" singer tops every list. Now, the proud mother-of-three can boast about having her name in the hall of Grammy icons.
Mathew Knowles, the "Halo" artist's father, honored his daughter with a beautifully penned message on Twitter. The renowned record executive shared a picture of his daughter on stage during her acceptance speech.
In the image, the Hollywood Walk of Fame honoree rocked a beautiful strapless dress which she rocked to the prestigious award show. The silver-and-gold ensemble featured a corset bustier and a ruffled bottom with a thigh-high slit. The entertainer completed the look with black gloves while her signature golden brown hair fell in graceful waves.
"Beyoncé, I'm so incredibly proud of you," her father gushed in his tweet. "Ever since you were a young child, you've wanted to make a worldwide impact in music. You had a dream and the work ethic to make it happen."
"And you did. And you continue to do so," the former Destiny's Child manager continued in a second tweet, praising his daughter for her successful career. "Congratulations on your historic, record-breaking night! Love you."
Before becoming the most decorated artist in Grammy history, the "Drunk in Love" singer was the most Grammy-nominated singer. As previously shared by The Blast, Mathew proudly celebrated this achievement with a sweet post on Twitter.
The 71-year-old took fans down memory lane, reminiscing about Beyoncé's dream to win a Grammy at the start of her career. However, her hard work paid off tenfold as she achieved more than she originally planned.

The Billboard Chart-Topper Gave An Emotional Acceptance Speech At The Grammys
Beyoncé had her big moment last night when she won her 32nd Grammy for the best dance/electronic music album with "Renaissance," her seventh studio album.
Before this award, the songstress bagged the trophies for best R&B song, best dance/electronic music recording, and best traditional R&B performance. Her fourth Grammy was presented by James Corden, who felt honored to be part of the history-making moment.
Queen Bey received a standing ovation from her colleagues, who applauded the mother-of-three as she made her way to the stage. The camera caught the Parkwood Entertainment founder fighting back the tears as she received the gold-plated gramophone.
"Thank you so much," she began with a trembling voice. "I'm trying not to be too emotional. I'm trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God."
Still, on the brink of tears, the "Radio" singer momentarily paused to gather her emotions before giving a special shout-out to her family and loved ones. "I'd like to thank my Uncle Johnny, who's not here. But he's here in spirit," the record breaker continued. "I'd like to thank my parents — my father, my mother, for loving me and pushing me."
Beyoncé's gratitude extended to her "beautiful husband," Jay-Z, and the couple's three wonderful children, who the R&B star noted were watching the show at home. The "Run the world" musician ended her speech by thanking the Queer community, who she tagged as creators of the dance/electronic music genre.
"I'd like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre. God bless you. Thank you so much to the Grammys. Thank you," she said.
Beyoncé concluded her message, receiving more applause and cheers from the adoring crowd as she exited the stage. Congratulations to the icon.
