“Genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists. I'm still in shock. Thank you so much for this honour," Beyonce said in her speech.
Beyonce secured one of the most prestigious awards in music, winning Album of the Year at the Grammy 2025 for her album Cowboy Carter. This marks a historic moment as she becomes the first Black woman in the 21st century to receive this honour.
