The superstar is the first Black woman to take the prize this century, and the fourth in Grammy history. It was her fifth nomination for the show’s top award.

Beyoncé’s country album "Cowboy Carter" won Album of the Year at the 67th Grammy Awards, bringing her record-breaking total to 35 wins—the most in Grammy history. She is the first Black woman this century to win the award.

And the "Big Four" didn’t disappoint, either: Chappell Roan won Best New Artist; Kendrick Lamar won both Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his hit “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé finally won Album of the Year for "Cowboy Carter."
