CeCe Winans made headlines early Sunday night (February 2) for capturing two GRAMMY Awards – a feat that not only extended her reign as the event’s most-decorated Gospel vocalist ever but also leapfrogged her career win count over two of the most-celebrated female winners in the show’s history: Adele and Alicia Keys.
Before the night’s end, however, Keys made a notable comeback.
Keys entered the 2025 ceremony with one nomination – Best Musical Theater Album for her loosely biographical Broadway musical ‘Hell’s Kitchen.’ She served as the play and album’s producer.
Defeating ‘Merrily We Roll Along,’ ‘The Notebook,’ ‘The Outsiders,’ ‘The Wiz,’ and ‘Suffs‘ for the honor, the victory comes as the 17th of Alicia’s career.
The ‘Fallin‘ singer now falls in third place with Winans behind Beyonce (33) and Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin (18) in the award show’s record books for all-time winners among Black women.
Alicia’s GRAMMY win is just the latest shiny trophy bestowed to ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ which previously stormed the 2024 TONY Awards when it landed the most nominations of any production (capturing Best Actress and Best Featured Actress for its stars at last year’s ceremony).
