EDITOR’S PICKS 

This victory marks a historic milestone for Beyoncé, making her the most nominated and most awarded artist in Grammy history, as well as the first Black woman to win the prestigious Album of the Year award this century.

Her ambitious album, “Cowboy Carter”, is a celebration of Black artists’ contributions to country music, a genre that has often overlooked their influence.

Beyoncé dedicated her win to Linda Martell, a pioneering Black country artist featured on the album.
