Beyoncé won the Grammy for Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter in 2025. The award was presented at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Cowboy Carter was released on March 29, 2024, as the second act of Beyoncé’s planned trilogy. The album explores country, Americana, rock, soul, and other traditions, while challenging narrow ideas about who belongs in country music. It also won Best Country Album, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to win that category.
The Album of the Year victory was especially notable because Beyoncé had received multiple nominations in the category without winning it earlier. The result is sometimes confused with her earlier Grammy wins for other categories, including Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for Renaissance in 2023.
