Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter won two awards in the 67th Grammy

The AI video follows Beyoncé's win of three Grammys on February 2, including two for her 2024 album Cowboy Carter, which won Album of the Year and Best Country Album. While accepting the Album of the Year award, she expressed gratitude, saying she had waited for the honor and thanked firefighters for keeping LA safe.

Bey continued to say:

"Thank God that I'm still able to do what I love after so many years. I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about, and to stay persistent."

The third award that Bey won was the Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Beyoncé won the award alongside Miley Cyrus, for their 2024 collaborative track, II Most Wanted (also from the same album).
