That clue should be enough for you to guess the name. No one in the history of the prestigious award has won it more times than Beyonce. Yes, the Single Ladies singer is one of Johnson’s favorites.
Speaking to E! News backstage at the Grammy Awards, Johnson said his family roots for Beyonce, when asked if he is a fan of anyone. “Well, I mean, I think between Beyonce and Adele. Between both of them, for sure. We love Beyonce. We got a Beyonce household,” The Great One said.
The $500 million worth singer did not disappoint her fan. From her nine nominations, she took home four awards. Now, there are reports that she’ll feature in rapper Travis Scott’s new album- Utopia. This might help Beyonce to win more awards and give a reason for her famous fan to cheer for her.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is not the only person Johnson has been caught fanboying over. He had revealed his other such experiences in a chat with a 55-year-old actor last year.
Recently, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer recalled how Johnson reacted to an incident involving him that proved he was a big fan of the legend.
