This ain’t Texas. But Beyoncé laid her cards down and emerged victorious at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards after taking home the coveted Album of the Year award, and two other gramophones.

Held at the Cryto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on February 2 (morning of February 3 in the Philippines), Beyoncé bagged the Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with “Cowboy Carter,” an album that marked a departure from her signature R&B-, pop-, soul-, and dance-infused genres. This solidifies her spot as the most-awarded artist at the Grammys, as she currently has 35 awards in total.

“I just feel full and very honored. It’s been many, many years,” Beyoncé said during her Album of the Year acceptance speech, visibly stunned by the recognition. “I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work.”

“I want to dedicate this to Miss [Linda] Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors,” she said, referring to an artist who was the first commercially successful Black American female singer in the United States.

Other big winners were Kendrick Lamar with five gramophones (the most-awarded artist of the night), Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX.
