Beyoncé became the first black woman to win a country Grammy in 50 years

Beyoncé has made history by being the first black woman to win a Grammy in the country music category in 50 years. She won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for collaborating with Miley Cyrus on the song "II Most Wanted". Beyoncé entered the 2025 Grammy Awards evening with 11 nominations, including nods for Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter.

Her hit song 'Texas Hold 'Em' was also nominated in several categories, such as Best Country Song, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. Her country win is a record-breaker, a 50-year wait, and places Beyoncé in first, becoming the first Black female artist to win a country Grammy. The record for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duets and a Group, previously, was in 1975, with The Pointer Sisters.

Beyoncé also won her first award of the evening at the premier ceremony. She has won a total of 33 Grammys so far. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she is already the most awarded Grammy artist in history. She surpassed conductor George Solti in 2023, making her the all-time leader in Grammy wins with 32.

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards featured Trevor Noah hosting and streaming live at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (next Monday morning in India), with its first ceremony streaming exclusively via YouTube via the Recording Academy channel. Indians can watch the Grammys 2025 streaming exclusively via Disney Plus Hotstar.
