Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” Album Could Earn Her First Country Nomination at the Grammys

Beyoncé’s foray into the country music genre may finally be recognized at the upcoming Grammy Awards. After years of being overlooked in the category, the superstar’s latest album “Cowboy Carter” is reportedly in contention for the Best Country Album award.

The Recording Academy recently accepted Beyoncé’s submission for the country category, marking a significant shift from previous years. In 2016, her country-inspired song “Daddy Lessons” faced rejection from the Grammy’s country committee, despite her performance at the Country Music Awards. This year, however, Beyoncé’s impact on the country music scene cannot be denied, as “Cowboy Carter” topped both the Hot Country Songs and Top Country Albums charts.

The album, which Beyoncé describes as a result of challenging herself and blending genres, has been in the making for over five years. The star’s dedication to exploring the history of country music and pushing past limitations has led to a body of work that has resonated with fans and critics alike.

If “Cowboy Carter” secures a nomination in the country category, Beyoncé could add another milestone to her already impressive Grammy record. With 32 Grammy awards and 88 nominations to her name, the possibility of winning in the Best Country Album and Album of the Year categories is within reach for the iconic artist.

As the 2025 Grammy Awards approach, all eyes will be on Beyoncé and her potential to make history once again. Stay tuned for the final nominations and the star-studded event on February 2.
