Beyoncé becomes the first black woman to win a Grammy Country in 50 years

History is nothing new to Beyoncé, and nothing slows her down by establishing more records.

The cultural icon, which entered the Grammy Awards 2025 with 11 nominations, continued to claim her legitimate throne in music throughout the Sunday evening ceremony, where she beat more records.

While she is already the most rewarded Grammy artist (she set this record in 2023 with her album Renaissance), she extended her record on Sunday. So far, she has won two awards at the 2025 ceremony, which has brought her total to 34.

Beyoncé also became the first black woman to win the best Country Grammy album for Cowboy Carter.

“Wow, I really didn’t expect that,” she said, accepting the price after being awarded by Taylor Swift. “Wow, I want to thank God – Oh my God!” – That I am able to do what I like after so many years Oh my God!

She continues: “I would like to thank all the incredible country artists who accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think that sometimes the genre is a word of code to keep us for us as an artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what fascinates them and to remain persistent. Wow, I would like to thank my beautiful family, all the artists who were collaborators … Thank you! It would not have been this album without you. I would like to thank God again and my fans, and I am always in shock. Thank you very much for this honor.
