Briefly

At the 2025 Grammys, Beyonce achieved a historic win by receiving the Album of the Year award for "Cowboy Carter," an exploration of the Black roots of country music. This marked her first win in this category despite being the most awarded artist in Grammy history. She expressed gratitude during her acceptance speech and also took home additional awards for Best Country Album and Best Country Duo. The event raised over $7 million for LA fire relief, while Kendrick Lamar swept all of his five nominations, celebrating his roots in Los Angeles.
"Sometimes the genre is just a code word to put us in our place as artists," Beyonce said, referring to her genre-defying attempt with "Cowboy Carter."
