It’s Adele versus Beyoncé again at the Grammys

It seems Grammys 2023 will look a lot like Grammys 2017, with another high-profile matchup between Adele and Beyoncé.

The pair is facing off again with their nominations in major categories: record of the year, song of the year and album of the year.

This time around, Beyoncé has nine noms and Adele has seven.

Of course, there are other artists nominated in those categories, but there is history when it comes to the self-proclaimed Bey super fan Adele and Beyoncé herself.

Adele swept the top honors in 2017 with five total awards, including album of the year for “25.”

Beyoncé won two, including best music video for “Formation” and best urban contemporary album for “Lemonade.”

It caused a major buzz among the Beyhive – as Beyoncé’s devoted fan base is known – and even complaints that racism may have influenced the voting.

Adele said in 2017 that she had voted for Beyoncé and paid homage to her during her album of the year acceptance speech.

The British singer called Beyoncé the “artist of my life” and her “Lemonade” album “just so monumental.”

It brought Bey, who was then pregnant with her twins, to tears.

Both women performed at the Grammys that year.

At least they are keeping it in the family.

Beyoncé has tied her husband Jay-Z as the artist with the most career Grammy nominations.

Before the latest round of noms, the rapper topped the all-time list with 83, followed by Sir Paul McCartney with 81, Quincy Jones with 80 and Beyoncé with 79.

Beyoncé has now added nine to her total, including album of the year for “Renaissance” and song of the year for “Break My Soul.”

Her project also helped her husband increase his total, as he snagged five additional nominations, including as one of the songwriters of “Break My Soul.”

The four-nomination difference was enough to pull the power couple neck-and-neck at 88 apiece.

With Bey's eighth record of the year nomination, she broke a tie with the legendary Frank Sinatra, who notched seven noms in that category during his career.

Jay-Z will be competing against himself for song of the year, as he is also nominated in that category for the DJ Khaled single “God Did.”

From CNN's Lisa Respers France

Three months after the murder of Takeoff, the rap artist's uncle and fellow Migos member Quavo will reportedly pay tribute to him at the Grammys.

According to Vibe magazine, the gospel music group Maverick City Music will join Quavo to perform his tribute song “Without You."

The song was released in January in honor of Takeoff who was shot and killed in Houston, Texas in November at age 28. The lyrics speak to Quavo’s grief for his loved one and collaborator.

“Tears rollin’ down my eyes/ Can’t tell you how many times I cried/ Days ain’t the same without you/ I don’t know if I’m the same without you,” Quavo raps.

The pair had been together when Takeoff was killed outside a private party.

Along with their longtime friend Offset, the two had been members of the platinum selling rap trio Migos. They released their final studio album, “Culture III,” in 2021.

Decorated actress Viola Davis made history and earned the prestigious EGOT status Sunday by winning a Grammy for Best Audio Book Narration and Storytelling for her memoir "Finding Me."

An artist achieves an EGOT when they win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony Award in their career.

Davis said in her acceptance speech: “I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola. To honor her, her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And, it has just been such a journey – I just EGOT!”

Davis won her first Tony Award in 2001 for her role in "King Hedley II" and won her first Oscar in 2017 for her role in "Fences."

Davis received her first Emmy in 2015 for her lead role in "How to Get Away with Murder," making her also the first Black woman to win lead actress in a drama.

Most recently, Jennifer Hudson achieved EGOT status in 2022.
