Beyoncé’s win makes her the first Black woman to win in the country music category. She is also the most-awarded artist in Grammy history with 32 wins.
In a five-star review of Cowboy Carter, The Independent’s chief music critic wrote: “It’s a record that hurls a lasso around the neck of country music and rides it out into the desert for a good airing. This is Beyoncé’s thrilling mission to take up space for Black women in a genre historically dominated by white men.”
