Beyoncé finally wins Album of The Year award at Grammys

The Beehive will be buzzing with this news..

Beyoncé has finally won the Album of The Year award at the Grammys.

The Grammy Awards is back again for its 67th consecutive year to recognize some of the outstanding achievements and talent in today’s music history – and Queen Bey is no stranger to music’s biggest night of the year.

However, while Beyoncé had 11 nominations this year, what has been the top topic of the night is whether or not the 43-year-old will finally bag the ultimate big one – that’s Album of the Year, one of the four general field categories along with Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

The 43-year-old, who shot to fame as one of three members of Destiny’s Child in 1997, has taken the world by storm as a solo artist and stands as the most nominated artist in Grammy history, with a total of 99 nominations.

She is also the most decorated artist ever as the proud owner of 32 Grammy trophies.

Now, she is adding two more accolades to her hefty cabinet after winning Country Album of the Year and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter.

The prestigious Album of the Year trophy has been a sticking point for Bey, who has historically lot out – usually to Taylor Swift.

Held at LA’s Crypto Arena, tonight’s Grammy Awards ceremony has been busy fundraising for those affected by the LA wildfires, so it was fitting the main award was presented by the LAFD, who the singer thanked when she accepted the award alongside her daughter Blue Ivy. Have a listen here:

“I just feel very full and very honored… It’s been many, many years,” she said upon accepting the award.

Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, is the second of a trilogy of concept albums by the artist which journey through America’s archives to pay homage to black pioneers throughout US musical and cultural history.

It was it the first album by a black woman to top the Top Country Albums chart and earned Bey 11 Grammy nominations tonight, making it the third-most nominated album in Grammy history.

Amongst her nominations included Best Country Solo Performance for ’16 Carriages’, Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Miley Cyrus for ‘II Most Wanted’ – which she won – Best Country Song ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ and again for Song of the Year.

She has also earned a nomination in the sister category, Best Americana Performance, for ‘Ya Ya’.

Bey beat off fierce competition from the likes of Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Andre 3000.
