Beyoncé clinched the Grammy for Album of the Year on Sunday with her groundbreaking album *Cowboy Carter*, marking a significant moment for the artist and the music industry.
In a night full of performances, Kendrick Lamar also had a stellar night, sweeping his categories. The event also served as a heartfelt tribute to the city of Los Angeles, which has been impacted by recent fires.
Beyoncé’s win for *Cowboy Carter* made her the most decorated and nominated artist in Grammy history, as well as the first Black woman to win the top honor in this century.
Her album, a celebration of Black artists in country music, has received immense praise for bringing overlooked contributions into the spotlight. During her acceptance speech, Beyoncé expressed gratitude and dedicated the award to Linda Martell, a pioneering Black country musician.
“I just feel very full and very honored,” she said, visibly moved, as her family cheered her on from the crowd. The night marked a big win for Beyoncé, who also earned three total Grammys, including Best Country Album and a collaboration award with Miley Cyrus.
Lamar dominated the night with his track “Not Like Us,” winning in all five categories he was nominated for, including Record and Song of the Year.
His song, a diss track aimed at rapper Drake, quickly became a hit, praised for its powerful beat and sharp delivery. Lamar also took a moment to honor Los Angeles, dedicating his record win to the city’s recovery after the devastating fires.
The evening also recognized emerging talent like Chappell Roan, who won Best New Artist, reflecting on her struggles and triumphs after being dropped by her label during the pandemic.
“Labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees,” she said during her emotional acceptance speech.
