Beyonce Wins Album Of The Year At The 2025 Grammys
Beyoncé got her long-awaited album of the year win at the 67th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday: “Cowboy Carter” took the night’s final award, giving the superstar three wins (out of 11 nominations), she became the first Black artist to win best country album.
A visibly shocked Beyoncé also won for best country album, saying she “really was not expecting this” as she accepted the award. “Sometimes genre is a codeword to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about,” she said.
She was given the award by Taylor Swift. “I will never forget standing here almost exactly 15 years ago,” she said while looking back on her win in this category.
Beyoncé, who also won for best country duo performance with Miley Cyrus, became the first Black woman to win a country Grammy for 50 years. Chris Stapleton took home the award for best country solo performance.
