CONGRATS! Beyoncé wins album of the year for 'Cowboy Carter' at the 2025 Grammys for the first time! Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department presented Beyoncé with the trophy.
MARIA SHERMAN Associated Press Music WriterLOS ANGELES --The superstar, who is both the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, was nominated in the category four times before and many feel she has been snubbed by its top honors."It's been many, many years," Beyoncé said in her speech. "I want to dedicate this to Ms. Martell," she said, referencing Linda Martell, the performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.
It is the second hip-hop single to ever win in the category. The first was Childish Gambino's "This Is America." She read a speech from a notebook, beginning by addressing her fellow nominees. "BRAT was the best night of my life this year," she said, as her hat fell off her head, referencing Charli xcx.
Noah's opening speech was dedicated to those affected by the fires, promising a show that not only celebrates them, but one that also celebrates "the city that brought us so much of that music." The Grammys have also allotted ad time to be used by local businesses affected by the fires. The tears were immediate. "This category was introduced in 1989. Two women have won, Lauryn Hill -" she said, correcting herself. "Three women have won. Lauryn Hill, Cardi B and Doechii."
The Beatles' "Now and Then," which used AI technology, took home best rock performance. Sean Lennon accepted the award on behalf of his father John Lennon. "As far as I'm concerned, it's the best band of all time," he said of the Beatles. "Play the Beatles' music for your kids. I feel like the world can't afford to forget."
