Beyoncé’s Lemonade won two Grammy Awards. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017, Beyoncé won Best Urban Contemporary Album for Lemonade and Best Music Video for “Formation,” a song and visual closely tied to the project.
The result was notable because Lemonade entered the ceremony with nine nominations, including Album of the Year and major nominations for “Formation.” Although Beyoncé did not win Album of the Year, the project still produced two victories and became one of the most acclaimed albums of the decade.
The wording can cause a small source of confusion: one award honored the album directly, while the other honored the “Formation” music video. Grammy summaries commonly describe Beyoncé’s Lemonade era as earning two wins, and contemporary coverage lists both victories together. Beyoncé also performed “Love Drought” and “Sandcastles” during the ceremony, but neither performance changed the number of awards won.
