Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" won the top prize at the 2025 Grammys on Sunday for the first time in her career. She previously lost the award four times.

"I think genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists," she said in her speech. "I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about."

Beyoncé won the album of the year Grammy with 'Cowboy Carter,' her first score in that category after previously being nominated for it four times.
