"Cowboy Carter" won earlier in the night for best country album. Beyoncé also won a Grammy for best country duo performance with Miley Cyrus.

“People don’t make albums anymore,” Beyoncé Knowles-Carter said in a 2013 interview in her HBO documentary. Her most recent album, “Cowboy Carter,” a celebration of Blackness, love, spirituality and blend of country music with other genres recently won Grammys for album of the year and country album of the year.

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.
