Beyoncé has made history by winning the Best Country Album at the Grammy Awards, becoming the first Black woman to achieve this feat. Her winning album, Cowboy Carter, overcame competition from notable artists such as Kacey Musgraves and Chris Stapleton. As Taylor Swift announced the win, Beyoncé's stunned reaction went viral online, with fans celebrating her unexpected triumph, especially following her snub at last year's Country Music Awards. Although she has an extensive collection of Grammys, her surprise at winning in the country genre reflects the ongoing complexities of genre boundaries in music.
Beyoncé's genuine shock almost got me in tears over here! Like she genuinely did not expect to have gotten that Grammy given how the genre of country is. You deserve Queen.
While it's unlikely that Beyoncé was surprised to be awarded a Grammy - she's the most awarded artist in history, with 34 wins - her shock may have come at her winning in a country category.
