The superstar is the first Black woman to take the prize this century, and the fourth in Grammy history. It was her fifth nomination for the show’s top award.

And the "Big Four" didn’t disappoint, either: Chappell Roan won Best New Artist; Kendrick Lamar won both Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his hit “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé finally won Album of the Year for "Cowboy Carter."

Beyoncé won the album of the year Grammy with 'Cowboy Carter,' her first score in that category after previously being nominated for it four times.
