Beyoncé Wins Album Of The Year Grammy For First Time Ever
Making history is nothing new for Beyoncé, and nothing is slowing her down from setting more records.
The cultural icon, who went into the 2025 Grammy Awards with 11 nominations, continued to claim her rightful throne in music throughout the Sunday night ceremony, where she broke more records.
While she is already the most-awarded Grammy artist in history (she set that record in 2023 with her album Renaissance), she extended her record on Sunday. She won three awards during the 2025 ceremony, bringing her total number of trophies to 35.
Beyoncé also finally won album of the year for Cowboy Carter after years of being nominated for but not winning the top award. The win gets rid of her “record” as the most nominated female artist without a win in the album of the year category. (She was previously nominated for I Am…Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, Lemonade and Renaissance.)
Elsewhere during the ceremony, Beyoncé also became the first Black woman to win the best country album Grammy for Cowboy Carter.
Earlier, during the premiere ceremony, Beyoncé also became the first Black woman to win a country Grammy in 50 years. She took home the award for best country duo/group performance for “II MOST WANTED” featuring Miley Cyrus.
