On Monday night, the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer, 42, received the Innovator Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and used her moment in the spotlight to implore others to open their ears to enjoying art "with no preconceived notions."

Beyoncé was given her award by Stevie Wonder, who called the star "a true visionary" and later thanked her for "motivating the world to become a better place."
