Firefighters, Beyonce, and Some Surprise Winners and Losers- Your Grammy Recap
Country music fans are split on Beyonce winning the Grammy for Best Country Album. She seemed as surprised as most when her name was called by presenter Taylor Swift. Taylor, surprisingly, walked away from the 2025 Grammy Awards without a single Grammy in hand.
Beyonce again took the stage to accept the final Grammy of the evening- the coveted Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter”. That award was presented by L.A. Firefighters fittingly to cap off an evening of celebrating music while also fundraising for wildfire relief.
