After years of perceived snubs, Beyoncé has officially won the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys. It is her first time winning this particular award.
Her latest album, Cowboy Carter, was up against André 3000’s New Blue Sun, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Charli xcx’s BRAT, Jacob Collier’s Djesse Vol. 4, Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department. She won Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter earlier in the night.
Including Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé has been nominated for Album of the Year five times: in 2010 for I Am… Sasha Fierce, 2015 for Beyoncé, 2017 for Lemonade and 2023 for Renaissance. She has won 32 Grammys and has been nominated for 99, making her the most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history.
