Beyoncé has finally won Album of the Year. The win comes more than two decades into her career for Cowboy Carter, her history-making eighth studio album created in response to her experience being rejected from the country genre as a Black woman from the South.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Beyoncé won album of the year for “Cowboy Carter” at Sunday’s Grammys, delivering her — at last — the show’s elusive top award. The superstar, who is both the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, has been up for the category four times before and many feel she has been snubbed by its top honors.

Grammy Awards took over the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday to celebrate music’s biggest night. The telecast for the annual award’s show, now in its 67th year, also served as a fundraiser to help support music professionals and others impacted by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.

Beyoncé won the album of the year Grammy with 'Cowboy Carter,' her first score in that category after previously being nominated for it four times.

Beyoncé’s country album "Cowboy Carter" won Album of the Year at the 67th Grammy Awards, bringing her record-breaking total to 35 wins—the most in Grammy history. She is the first Black woman this century to win the award.
