At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé won her first Album of the Year for "Cowboy Carter," marking a significant moment in her career. Despite being the most awarded artist in Grammy history, this was her first win in this category after four previous nominations, which many viewed as snubs. Kendrick Lamar also received top honors, winning Song and Record of the Year for his track "Not Like Us." Additionally, The Weeknd surprised the audience with a performance, highlighting his renewed relationship with the Grammys, attributed to recent changes within the Recording Academy.
It's been many, many years. I want to dedicate this to Ms. Martell, referencing Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.
We finally saw it happen, everyone. This achievement for one of music's transcendent artists is long overdue.
We're gonna dedicate this one to the city, Kendrick Lamar said before shouting out Los Angeles area neighborhoods, after winning song and record of the year.
The Weeknd has mended his fractious relationship with the Grammy Awards, a reflection of the changes to diversify its voting body.
