Beyoncé has made Grammys history as the first Black woman to win Album of the Year in 26 years.
She's a clever girl! Beyoncé is officially the most-awarded artist in Grammys history but which awards has she won?
Beyoncé just made history at the 2025 Grammys by taking home the awards for Album of the Year and Best Country Album for 'Cowboy Carter'. In doing so, Beyoncé became the first Black woman to receive Album of the Year since Lauryn Hill won the award in 1999. Beyoncé is also the first Black woman to ever win Best Country Album.
To date, Beyoncé has won more Grammy awards than any other person. What are they though? Below is a full list of her iconic wins and some insight into Beyoncé's journey to taking home the coveted Album of the Year title.
Beyonce lands best country album Grammy award for Cowboy Carter
Fans of Beyoncé will already know that she's been historically snubbed in the Album of the Year category. In 2008, 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' lost to Taylor Swift's 'Fearless'. In 2015, 'Beyoncé' controversially lost to Beck's 'Morning Phase'. Then, in 2016 'Lemonade' lost to Adele's '25' and, in 2023, 'Renaissance' lost to Harry Styles' 'Harry's House'.
As a result, people have called out the Grammys for failing to acknowledge Beyoncé's impact in the album format. In an emotional speech, Beyoncé dedicated the award to legendary Black country star Linda Martell who features on 'Cowboy Carter'. She said: "I just feel very very full and very honoured. It's been many many years."
Beyoncé was also visibly shocked to take home Best Country Album. In her speech, she said: "Wow, I really was not expecting this. I want to thank God. I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album."
Beyoncé also took home Best Country Duo/Group Performance for 'II Most Wanted' with Miley Cyrus.
As a result, Beyoncé has increased her record-breaking Grammy total from 30 to 33 awards.
