Beyoncé just made history again, winning Best Country Album at the 67th Grammy Awards for her groundbreaking “Cowboy Carter.” As she took to the stage, she was full of gratitude, saying, “I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer for all of the hard work.”
The moment her name was called, Beyoncé looked completely stunned. Her eyes widened, and she spread her hands as if to ask, What’s happening? She glanced left and right, still in disbelief, while the audience erupted in cheers. For a few seconds, she remained seated, taking it all in, until Blue Ivy gave her a nudge. That was all the encouragement she needed. With a smile, she stood up, surrounded by cheers from the people around her, including Jay-Z, and made her way to the stage with Blue Ivy by her side.
In her acceptance speech, Beyoncé took a moment to honour Linda Martell, a trailblazer in country music, saying, “I want to dedicate this to Ms. Linda Martell. I hope we keep pushing forward, opening doors.”
With this award, Beyoncé became the first Black woman to win Best Country Album at the Grammys.
