Beyonce's win for 'Cowboy Carter' now makes her the most nominated, most decorated artist at the awards show ever -- as well as the first Black woman to claim the top prize in this century.
LOS ANGELES , CALIFORNIA - Beyoncé accepts the Album of the Year award for " COWBOY CARTER " with Blue Ivy Carter onstage during the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles , California.
The triumph was all the more relevant as the 43-year-old's ambitious, historically rooted album elevated and showcased the work of Black artists in country music, whose rich contributions the industry has repeatedly sidelined. "I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about and to stay persistent," she added.Hip-hop laureate Lamar cleaned up thanks to his smash diss track"Not Like Us," one of a series of songs from the Los Angeles-area native that skewer rap rival Drake.
"Not Like Us" shattered streaming records, catapulted to the top of the charts and quickly became a West Coast rap anthem, beloved for its pounding bass line, rhythmic strings and exaggerated enunciation. But in a powerful acceptance speech, she recounted how it wasn't always easy -- she was dropped from her label during the pandemic and struggled to find work."Record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees," she said."Labels, we got you, but do you got us?"Doechii emerged as another big winner, becoming just the third woman to ever win the prize for best rap album. The second-ever winner, Cardi B, presented her with the prize.
Shakira scooped Best Latin Pop Album, before delivering a jaw-dropping performance of her classics and new work, gyrating around the room.
