It has been a long time coming. Beyonce has finally won her Album of the Year award during Sunday’s (Feb. 2) 67th annual Grammy Awards, where she was previously nominated for four times.

Her latest album, Cowboy Carter, earned Bey her 35th Grammy, the most of any music artist in Grammy history. Mrs. Carter becomes first black female to win Album of The Year in the 21st century and the fourth overall, alongside Lauryn Hill (1999), Whitney Houston (1994), and Natalie Cole (1992).

“I just feel full and very honored,” Bey said after thanking the LA firefighters who presented her the award. “It’s been many, many years. I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work.”

“I want to dedicate this to Miss Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless you all. Thank you so much,” she said, while paying homage to Black country artist Linda Martrell who she referenced on the track “The Linda Martell Show.”

Earlier in the evening, Cowboy Carter also won Best Country album. Beyonce becomes the first Black woman in Grammy’s history to take home the award.

Beyonce released her chart-topping Cowboy Carter last year. Days prior to the Grammys, Bey announced her Cowboy Carter tour.
