Beyoncé has now won more Grammys than any other artist in history, having brought her total to 32 at the award ceremony on February 5. That's one more than late conductor Georg Solti, who previously held the record.

Beyoncé won best R&B song for "Cuff It," best dance/electronic music recording for "Break My Soul" and best traditional R&B performance for "Plastic Off the Sofa." She then won best dance/electronic music album for Renaissance, which was also nominated for album of the year.

However, that top award went to British singer-actor, Harry Styles, for Harry's House.

Lizzo won record of the year — a category that awards all of the contributors on a single song — for "About Damn Time," giving a speech that brought many in the audience, including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Adele, to their feet.

"I wanted to make the world a better place, so I had to be that change to make the world a better place. Now, I look around and see these songs are about loving your body and feeling comfortable in your skin and feeling good."



Sam Smith and Kim Petras won best pop duo-group performance for their song "Unholy." Petras said Smith wanted Petras to make the acceptance speech because "I'm the first transgender woman to win this award."

Petras also thanked friend and Grammy-nominated musician Sophie, who died after an accidental fall in Athens, Greece in 2021.

"Thank you so much for your inspiration, Sophie. I adore you, and your inspiration will forever be in my music," she said.

An Iranian singer, who is facing possible prison time for his music, won the award for best song for social change.

Shervin Hajipour couldn't be at the Los Angeles ceremony to receive his award for "Baraye" — which means "For." But he appeared stunned by his win in a video shared online.

"Baraye's" lyrics list the reasons many young people in Iran have been protesting in recent months, ending with the popular slogan, "For women, life, freedom."

Beyoncé, Harry Styles Take Major Awards at Grammys

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃です。

まだ秋がはじまったばかりですが、天気が良いと気持ちいいですね。

今日は、秋の終わりの気持ち良い日に使う言葉を紹介します。

秋の終わり、天気が良くて、あたたかく、とても気持ちが良い日を「小春日和」という言葉で表現します。

小春、というふうに春という言葉が入っているので、どうしても春に使いたくなりますね。ですが、この言葉は秋に使う言葉です。反対に、春の気持ちがいい日には、小秋日和とは言いません。

もしかしたら日本人でも間違って使っている人もいるかもしれません。ですが、小春日和を使うのは秋の気持ちの良い日のことなので、間違えないようにしてくださいね！

まだ秋が始まったばかりですが、冬に使う言葉で、三寒四温さんかんしおん、という言葉があります。これは1週間の7日の間に、寒い日が3日続いたら今度は暖かい日が4日続く、というような意味で使います。

日本は季節によって天気が良く変わります。
それでこのような天気の言葉が多いのかもしれません。

みなさんの国では、天気を表す言葉はたくさんありますか？
ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
