"You don't have to be a country artist to make a country record," she shared. "Those don't have to exist in the same plane."

The 31-year-old Grammy nominee says she doesn't understand other opinions on the matter: "It's amazing to have huge, respected artists and other genres come in and celebrate ours."

The trend continues with the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 2. Beyoncé earned more nominations than any other artist, racking up 11 nods for her album Cowboy Carter. Already the artist with the most wins in Grammys history, Beyoncé’s 2025 entries bumped her career total to 99 nominations, breaking yet another record.
