As shown above, Beyoncé earned a nod in all four country categories following the release of her country-influenced album Cowboy Carter last year. Additionally, she earned 11 nominations at this year’s Grammys, including a nod for the night’s top prize, Album of the Year.
In 2021, Beyoncé surpassed Alison Krauss as the most-awarded female artist in Grammys history. With 32 past wins to her name, Beyoncé is therefore now the most-awarded artist in Grammys history…period. She has a chance to add further to that record-setting total with more awards this year.

The 2025 Grammy Awards aired on CBS on Sunday, February 2. Celebrations surrounding the event were scaled back this year due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, where the Grammys were held. But a few of country music’s biggest stars still made an appearance to celebrate each other’s achievements.
Three of the country-specific categories were not presented during the main ceremony. Why is that? Basically, because the Grammys honor so many categories, they don’t have time to present all of the awards during the main show.
If you missed any awards announced before the ceremony started, don’t fret. We compiled a complete list of winners here! Keep checking back through the night for any updates.
