Beyoncé wins her first Country Grammy making her first Black woman to achieve feat
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, who is already the most-decorated and nominated artist in Grammy history, has set a new bar with the singer adding another award to her name and making history once again.
This year’s Grammy Awards is currently taking place at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles.
Beyoncé started strong by taking home the award for best country duo/group performance for “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus.
This year, Beyoncé became the leading nominee with a total of 11 nods, including the top prize — album of the year — for her acclaimed eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.”
For the first time, she was also up for awards in the Country & American Roots field.
In total, seven different songs from the album were nominated across four different genres.
With the win for “II Most Wanted,” Beyoncé becomes the first Black woman to win a Grammy for a country music song since the Pointer Sisters won in a similar category in 1975.
No Black female solo artist has ever won a Grammy for a country song. Four years ago, Mickey Guyton became the first Black woman to be recognized in a country music category when she received a nomination for her song “Black Like Me.”
Tina Turner’s debut album “Tina Turns the Country On!” was nominated for a Grammy in the best female R&B vocal performance category in 1975.
This year also marked the first time a Black woman has been nominated for the top prize of album of the year for a country album.
Not only is her country music win a history-making feat, but it is especially significant for Beyoncé. In the fall, Beyoncé made headlines when she was snubbed with zero nominations for the 2024 Country Music Association Awards despite her groundbreaking album. She was the leading nominee for the People’s Choice Country Awards with a total of 12 nods. However, she didn’t take home any awards.
She won her first country awards at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards when she was named top country female artist in December.
