Beyoncé and Chappell Roan Give Grammys a Country Theme
In one of the biggest moments of the evening so far, Taylor Swift presented the award for best country album to Beyoncé. She became the first Black woman to ever win in the category.
"Genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists," she said in her speech. "I'm still in shock. Thank you so much for this honor."
Beyoncé entered the night as the leading nominee.
A little bit of the wild west, a little bit of West Hollywood, Roan brought a rocking version of her "Pink Pony Club" to the Grammy stage. Joined by a posse of dancing clown cowboys, she sang from atop a giant pink horse.
