Profile

Why they shine

Beyoncé is the most decorated artist in Grammy history, with more than thirty trophies, yet Album of the Year eluded her until 2025. COWBOY CARTER, her full-scale immersion into country and Americana, finally took the top prize at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on her fifth nomination in the category. Recorded largely at home in Houston and Los Angeles after an idea born from an unwelcome reception in the country world, the album topped the Billboard 200 and made her the first Black woman to win Best Country Album. Her earlier wins span R&B, dance music and traditional pop across the Beyoncé, Lemonade and Renaissance era.
