Beyoncé once more proved why she is certainly one of the most influential artists of all time, making a story at the 67th Grammy Awards, becoming the first black woman who won the best country album. Having the record as the most awarded artist in the history of Grammy, Beyoncé entered the night as the most -nominated artist with 11 nomination, including 4 when it comes to country music.

The audience broke out in applause when Taylor Swift announced Beyoncé as a winner. Apparently, she took a deep breath emotionally, then entered the stage, squeezing the golden turntable near her chest.

“Wow, I didn’t really expect it,” she said, her voice was full of disbelief and gratitude. “I want to thank God that I can still do what I love after so many years.”

She continued, devoting a moment to recognition of industry guards. “I would like to thank all the amazing Country artists who accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think that sometimes the species is a code word to keep us in place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they are passionate about and the others persistent. ”

Earlier at night, Beyoncé had already passed history, winning the best duo/group in the country for “II Most Wanted” with the participation of Miley Cyrus. Now, with one other breakthrough win, he still defines boundaries and inspires generations to come back.
