The Grammy Awards is back again for its 67th consecutive year to recognize some of the outstanding achievements and talent in today’s music history – and Queen Bey is no stranger to music’s biggest night of the year.
However, while Beyoncé had 11 nominations this year, what has been the top topic of the night is whether or not the 43-year-old will finally bag the ultimate big one – that’s Album of the Year, one of the four general field categories along with Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

The 43-year-old, who shot to fame as one of three members of Destiny’s Child in 1997, has taken the world by storm as a solo artist and stands as the most nominated artist in Grammy history, with a total of 99 nominations.
She is also the most decorated artist ever as the proud owner of 32 Grammy trophies.
Now, she is adding two more accolades to her hefty cabinet after winning Country Album of the Year and Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter.
The prestigious Album of the Year trophy has been a sticking point for Bey, who has historically lot out – usually to Taylor Swift.
Held at LA’s Crypto Arena, tonight’s Grammy Awards ceremony has been busy fundraising for those affected by the LA wildfires, so it was fitting the main award was presented by the LAFD, who the singer thanked when she accepted the award alongside her daughter Blue Ivy.
