The award, presented by the Los Angeles Fire Department, ended the singer’s long-running streak as the most nominated female artist without a win in the category.

Amid tributes to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires and remembrances of Liam Payne, Kris Kristofferson and deceased performers, the most emotional moment during Sunday night's Grammys was Beyoncé's win for album of the year.

At the Grammys 2025 Sunday in Los Angeles, Beyoncé nabbed her first-ever win for album of the year for Cowboy Carter, her country concept album. She has been nominated four times prior for her albums I Am…Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, Lemonade, and Renaissance.
