Beyoncé is not leaving the 2025 Grammy Awards empty-handed.
The 43-year-old has officially made history with wins for her acclaimed COWBOY CARTER album. On Sunday night (Feb. 2), the mother of three took the stage in a gold sequined gown at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles to accept the Best Country Album award for the 2024 release.
With the win, Queen Bey is the first Black artist to take the category. She was presented the award by Taylor Swift, who previously took home the trophy in 2010.

“I want to thank God that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years,” detailed the most decorated Grammy winner live from the podium.
“I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about, and to stay consistent.”
Ahead of the live show, she also achieved another historic feat, as her “II MOST WANTED” duet with Miley Cyrus earned the Best Country Duo/Group Performance. She is the first Black woman to take the category since The Pointer Sisters in 1975.
In total, Beyoncé was up for four country Grammys this year, out of 11 overall nominations including Album Of The Year. COWBOY CARTER was officially released on March 29, 2024. The genre-bending work features Best New Artist nominee Shaboozey, as well as Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Linda Martell, Reyna Roberts, Tiera Kennedy, Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, and more.
The wins come just as the global pop star announced she would officially embark on the COWBOY CARTER tour. The delayed reveal was shared across social media the day before music’s biggest night.
