The Grammy moment that's been 'many, many years' in the making for Beyoncé

She has 32 Grammys to her name, but Beyoncé has never won Album of the Year – until now.

The singer has finally taken home the coveted title at the 2025 Grammy Awards, thanks to her country record Cowboy Carter.

It was a star-stacked category, with fierce competition from the likes of Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish.

The Texas Hold 'Em singer brought a special guest on stage as she accepted the award – daughter Blue Ivy.

Clearly emotional about the historic win, she told the crowd, "I just feel very full and very honoured. It's been many, many years."

"I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer."

It's rare to see Beyoncé these days without Blue Ivy, and vice versa.

The 13-year-old star of Mufasa posed with her mother on the red carpet at the film's premiere, and then just weeks later performed alongside the superstar during Netflix's NFL halftime show on Christmas Day.

So it was fitting she took the stage with Beyoncé to accept the biggest award of the night.

The win isn't just an historic one for the singer on a personal level.
