Correcting what was widely seen as an historic wrong, Beyoncé won best album at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The star was recognised for her eighth album, Cowboy Carter, which celebrates and contextualises the black roots of country music. She had previously been passed over for the ceremony's main prize on four separate occasions.

Beyoncé, who was nominated for 11 awards, also won for best country duo/group performance for the song “II Most Wanted.”

Cowboy Carter won the night's big award, topping albums from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter and more. The country record also won in the Best Country Album category earlier in the night. This is Beyonce's first win in the Album of the Year category.
