A visibly shocked Beyoncé, who’s already the most-decorated and nominated artist in Grammy history, won the award for Cowboy Carter, beating out Post Malone, Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, and Lainey Wilson. She accepted the award from Taylor Swift and admitted that she was in disbelief.

“Wow, I really was not expecting this,” admitted Beyoncé in her acceptance speech. “I want to thank God that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years. I’d like to thank all the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about and to stay persistent.”

She continued,

“Wow. I’d like to thank my beautiful family, all of the artists that were collaborators, thank you; this album wouldn’t have been without you. I’d like to thank God again and my fans, and I’m still in shock.”

This was Beyoncé’s second Grammy win of the night. She also won Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus, making her the first Black woman to win a Grammy for a country music song since the Pointer Sisters won in a similar category in 1975.

Bey tops this year’s Grammys with 11 nominations, more than any other artist.
