2025 Grammy Awards: Beyoncé won the prestigious Album of the Year award for Cowboy Carter, her country music album.
Beyoncé received the Album of the Year award for Cowboy Carter, a revolutionary and boundary-pushing collection of country songs, during the 2025 Grammy Awards.
She expressed her joy upon receiving the award: “I feel so happy and proud; this is something I have waited for many years.”
2025 Grammy Awards, Despite her previous remarkable successes, including becoming the artist with the most Grammy wins in 2023, Beyoncé had never won the coveted Album of the Year award. After several setbacks with albums like I Am… Sasha Fierce (2010), Beyoncé (2015), Lemonade (2017), and Renaissance (2023), she finally turned the tables at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
With 11 nominations, the most nominations by any female artist in a single year, Beyoncé extended her Grammy collection to 35 with three wins for Cowboy Carter, adding to her remarkable achievement of 99 nominations.
2025 Grammy Awards, Another big winner was Kendrick Lamar, who took home five awards, including Song of the Year for “Not Like Us.” Charli XCX earned three Grammys for her album Brat, while Sabrina Carpenter won two for her album Short n’ Sweet. Chapel Rowan was named Best New Artist.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift and her album The Tortured Poets Department went home empty-handed.
2025 Grammy Awards: Other Highlights And Memorable Moments Of The Grammy Night:
2025 Grammy Awards, The ceremony kicked off with Randy Newman’s I Love L.A. performed by the Dawes group, a timely choice considering recent events, which struck an emotional chord with the audience.
Billie Eilish’s performance of Birds of a Feather exuded calmness and serenity, yet behind her peaceful demeanor, deep emotions were present. Wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap, she turned the song into a love letter to Los Angeles, ending by saying, “We love you, L.A.”
2025 Grammy Awards, Chapel Rowan, named Best New Artist, performed energetically aboard a giant pink carousel horse, accompanied by clowns and memorable choruses, performing her song Pink Pony Club, though fans had expected her to perform Good Luck Babe!, which was nominated for Song of the Year.
Cardi B won the Best Rap Album Grammy for Alligator Bites Never Heal, making her one of only two women to win this award. Following her impactful speech, Doechii took the stage to perform her tracks Catfish and Denial Is a River in an extraordinary rendition.
Taylor Swift, who was wearing a “T” chain around her thigh, handed over the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé for Cowboy Carter. This marked a significant moment, as it was the first time a Black woman received this honor. Beyoncé appeared genuinely shocked upon hearing her name called as the winner.
2025 Grammy Awards, In an unexpected twist, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, instead of performing their winning Grammy duet Die with a Smile, delivered a stunning rendition of California Dreamin’ by the Mamas & the Papas, a performance that could have easily been the opening of the ceremony.
