A reminder that Beyoncé didn’t win Best Contemporary Country Album. She won BEST COUNTRY ALBUM.
The last-ever winner of the category before it was split was a Black woman from Houston, for her groundbreaking album, COWBOY CARTER.
This marks the second time where the Recording Academy has announced a new category/rule change after a Beyoncé win for her ongoing ‘acts’ genre-spanning trilogy.
The first time was the introduction of Best Dance Pop Recording following ‘BREAK MY SOUL’ and ‘RENAISSANCE’ Dance wins at the 2023 #GRAMMYs. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the Dance Field’s Screening Committee initially felt that the album should be moved to Best Pop Vocal Album before the overall National Screening Committee decided to keep it in Best Dance/Electronic Album.
Making history again, and again, and again 🤩 Beyoncé adds 3 more awards tonight and extends her lead as most-awarded #GRAMMYs winner of all time. CONGRATS!
Beyoncé is reportedly set to perform eight concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this July as part of the Cowboy Carter World Tour.
Her 2023 RENAISSANCE World Tour had 5 sold-out shows at the 60,000+ capacity stadium.

11 years ago today, Beyoncé released ‘BEYONCÉ.’
The iconic chart-topping album is considered to be the first album released without ANY prior notice. It sold more than 828K copies worldwide in 3 days despite only being available on iTunes for the first week. The album also inspired the industry to change the typical release date for music from Tuesday to Friday. Among many other things, BEYONCÉ also reinvented the concept and execution of visual albums.
