Carter Administration

“Her first album of the year win for Cowboy Carter represents a new career-defining milestone for Beyoncé, who holds the record for being both the most nominated and most awarded artist in Grammy history.” At the 2025 Grammys, Beyoncé takes home album of the year and Kendrick Lamar wins big. Even though broadcast only includes a handful of actual awards, many of which seem interchangeable and feature the same nominees, there were several excellent performances. You can watch it online on Paramount Plus. And some snubs and surprises. (In my book, the biggest snub was Pearl Jam not winning best rock album for Dark Matter which is just insanely good.)

+ “You may not have heard of the first woman to be named best songwriter at the Grammys before – but you may well have sung along to one of her hits.” Amy Allen becomes first woman to win best songwriter Grammy.

+ And the evening’s most memeable moment: Beyonce’s reaction to winning best country album.
