Beyoncé Finally Wins Album of the Year, as ‘Cowboy Carter’ Takes Grammys’ Top Prize
Beyoncé won the album of the year Grammy with 'Cowboy Carter,' her first score in that category after previously being nominated for it four times.
Although it was ultimately a multi-genre album, “Cowboy Carter” was a concept album in representing Beyoncé’s take on how country music has much of its roots in Black music, and how Black performers continue to make their way in that genre, including guest stars like Shaboozey, as well as pioneer Linda Martell. In the pre-telecast premiere ceremony, she also won a third award, for best country duo/group performance, honoring her duet with Miley Cyrus, “II Most Wanted.” When “Lemonade” lost out to what was considered a lesser Adele album, that singer apologized to Beyoncé that night for beating her, saying it was Bey who really deserved the award.
