The 67th Grammy Awards were presented on Sunday and gave a queen an overdue crown.
Beyoncé’s genre-blending smash “Cowboy Carter” won the Grammy Award for album of the year, the first win in the category for the superstar performer. Until Sunday, the Recording Academy had consistently overlooked Beyoncé for the top honor, with the singer losing four times for her albums “Renaissance” (2023), “Lemonade” (2017), “Beyoncé” (2015) and “I Am… Sasha Fierce (2010).
With 99 career Grammy nominations, Beyoncé holds the record as the most nominated artist in the history of the Recording academy.
