Beyoncé has won Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys for her 2024 project Cowboy Carter. The album, Beyoncé's first in the genre and eighth, beat out releases from Post Malone (F-1 Trillion), Kacey Musgraves (Deeper Well), Chris Stapleton (Higher), and Lainey Wilson (Whirlwind).

"I'd like to thank all the country artists that accepted this album," Beyoncé said in her acceptance speech. "I think genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about, and to stay persistent."
