Megan Thee Stallion snatched the 2021 Grammy Award trophy for Best New Artist from Chika, Ingrid Andress, Noah Cyrus, D Smoke, Doja Cat, and many more deserving talents. The trophy was presented to her by Lizzo.

She is the first female rapper to win the Best New Artist Award since Lauryn Hill in 1999, in a huge moment for hip-hop and female rappers. Among the lower-profile awards given out earlier, Megan Thee Stallion won best rap performance as well for "Savage", which features Beyoncé.

In January, the 26-year-old female rapper told The Los Angeles Times "Being from Houston, Beyoncé means everything to us. I am pretty sure Beyoncé means everything to a lot of people. But when I got to do a song with her? Oh, my God."
