While the BeyHive was screaming over its beloved not winning album of the year at the 2023 Grammys, Beyoncé was living her best life.
As W reported, Queen Bey strolled out of the ceremony in her Schiaparelli gown a champion and continued the night as such.
The mom of four gave fans an inside look into her celebrations on Instagram, posting a video of her star-studded after-party. The clip includes snippets of her winning the best dance/electronic music album Grammy Award and dancing with her “beautiful husband,” JAY-Z, as well as snaps of her having a good time with momma Tina Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Lizzo and others.
However, the BeyHive has mixed feelings after learning one star’s name earned a place on the guest list: Harry Styles. Fans are horrified to discover the 29-year-old, whose album Harry’s House beat Renaissance for album of the year, dared to attend the affair. And when a picture of him with his feet on the table at the party made its way to Twitter, horror turned to outrage.
“With his feet up the table??? classless,” one Twitter user wrote.

“She said you have something that belongs to me,” one tweeted with a meme.

But not everyone indulged in the drama of Styles showing up.
“I don’t wanna get attacked but she been in this business for a minute and I have a feeling she knew that it would come to this! Beyoncé and Jay got connects wrapped around their finger so I feel like she was really there to break that record it was never about AOTY imo,” one wrote.

“This was the Sony Afterparty at Mother Wolf (a very large restaurant). Who knows if they even crossed paths there, but Beyoncé is lovely to everyone & would be to Harry, no doubt. But the ‘Beyoncé had an afterparty with Harry as a guest’ narrative is stretching the truth,” another explained.

Regardless of what brought Styles to the party, he and Beyoncé were probably kind to each other and exchanged congratulations for their monumental wins.
