The superstar, who is both the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, had been nominated in the category four times before and many felt she had been snubbed by its top honours.
This year, Queen Bey was up for 11 awards, tying with Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ for most nominations for a single album. With her win for Album of the Year, she becomes the first Black woman to get the award in the 21st century.
