Beyoncé, the most decorated artist in Grammys history, won her first Album of the Year award last night for “Cowboy Carter,” making her the first Black woman in the 21st century to do so.


Despite four previous nominations, she had never won this top honor. She also became the first Black woman to win Best Country Album, marking another historic achievement.


Beyoncé, who earned her first Grammy nod in 2000 with Destiny’s Child, made history in 2023 by securing her 32nd Grammy, the most of any artist ever.


Her latest wins further cement her legacy, breaking barriers and redefining genres in music.
