Houston sure does know how to make ’em. Already the most GRAMMY Award-winning and GRAMMY Award-nominated artist of all time, Space City superstar Beyoncé Knowles further solidified her GOAT status at last night’s GRAMMY Awards wherein Queen Bey finally won Album of the Year – a the show’s top award that has long eluded Knowles.
Beyoncé was sitting pretty going into the 2025 GRAMMY Awards with 11 nominations. These nominations would tally up to 99, ironically nudging out husband Jay-Z as the most GRAMMY-nominated artist of all time. In the award show hosted last night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Beyoncé secured three more GRAMMYs – bringing her total GRAMMY wins to 35.
At the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards Beyoncé won GRAMMYs for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Best Country Album, and Album of the Year. The latter award, has been of much controversy in regards to Beyoncé.
Despite her massive GRAMMY collection, Beyoncé has not until now received the award show’s top honor with many accusing the GRAMMYs of snubbing Knowles throughout her career – particularly with her albums Lemonade and Renaissance – the former, losing to Adele’s 25, the latter, losing to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House.
In last night’s award presentation, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter beat out the following nominations for album of the year:
- Short n’ Sweet – Sabrina Carpenter
- BRAT – Charlie XCX
- Djesse Vol. 4 – Jacob Collier
- HIT ME HARD AND SOFT – Billie Eilish
- Chappell Roan The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess – Chappell Roan
- THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT – Taylor Swift
Following Beyoncé’s historical GRAMMY performance, the artist announced her new “Cowboy Carter Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour” which includes nine cities across the world including London, Paris, and Houston. The specific Beyoncé tour dates have yet to be announced.
Other big winners from the 67th annual GRAMMY Awards include Kendrick Lamar, who won all five nominated GRAMMYs for his diss track Not Like Us, winning Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video.
Houston’s psych-trio Khruangbin was nominated for Best New Artist, but lost out to Chappell Roan.
