"You want to hold on to country music like white people didn't also buy her country album. Come on, man!" the Oscar winner said in response to conservative author Raymond Arroyo's criticisms.

Beyoncé has finally won Album of the Year. The win comes more than two decades into her career for Cowboy Carter, her history-making eighth studio album created in response to her experience being rejected from the country genre as a Black woman from the South.

"Cowboy Carter" won earlier in the night for best country album. Beyoncé also won a Grammy for best country duo performance with Miley Cyrus.
