Wearing a cowboy hat, which has become a signature of her new era, she thanked the “Isn’t She Lovely” singer for the honour.

“Thank you for making a wave for all of us,” Beyoncé told Wonder. “I’m honoured to receive this recognition from you.”

“Whenever anyone asks me if there’s anyone I could listen to for the rest of my life, it’s always you,” she added, going on to thank Wonder for “playing the harmonica on ‘Jolene’.”
