The Streak Is Over! Beyoncé Has Finally Won Album of the Year at the Grammys After Previously Losing Four Times, Crowd Goes Wild [Video]

The streak is over! Beyoncé has officially won Album of the Year at the 67th Annual Grammys on Sunday.

The win comes after previously being nominated four times over the years in the category and never winning.

She was previously up for 2008’s “I Am… Sasha Fierce,” 2013’s “Beyoncé,” 2016’s “Lemonade” and 2022’s “Renaissance,” but lost to Taylor Swift, Beck, Adele and Harry Styles, respectively.

The streak of losses has been a topic of discussion and backlash for years. During the 2024 show, Jay-Z called out the Recording Academy live at the show for repeatedly snubbing his wife in the category.

Alas, Sunday broke the streak thanks to her country record, “Cowboy Carter” as she was presented with the award by members of the Los Angeles fire department.

Bey beat out Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” Charli XCX’s “Brat,” Chappell Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet,” André 3000’s “New Blue Sun” and Jacob Collier’s “Djesse Vol. 4.”

“I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years, and I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer,” she said onstage alongside her 13-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

Bey continues her reign as the most-awarded artist in Grammy history with 35 career wins as of tonight.
