Beyoncé Acknowledges and Thanks the BeyHive During Grammys Speech

Beyoncé’s (and Jay Z’s) intoxication/love anthem “Drunk in Love” deservedly won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. Here are a few people she thanked during her acceptance speech. You might recognize one of them.

By the way, Jay Z remained in the audience while Beyoncé, who is permanently pregnant, accepted the trophy for their duet. She publicly acknowledged and thanked the BeyHive (was this a first?)… and other people, in this order:

• God (“This has been such an incredible year”)
• Her “beloved husband” Jay Z (“I love you deep”)
• Blue Ivy (“I love you”)
• The BeyHive (“For riding so hard”)

And here it is, rearranged in order of importance:

• The BeyHive
• Blue Ivy
