Beyoncé won three awards for her duet performance with Miley Cyrus in‘II Most Wanted‘, best country album of the year and best country album with her album ‘Cowboy Carter’, with which she made history by becoming the first black woman to win a Grammy for best album since Lauryn Hill in 1999 and the seventh artist to do so with an album of this genre. “I feel fulfilled and very, very honored. It’s been many, many years,” said the Texan singer as she received the award from Los Angeles firefighters, in a nod of remembrance for the victims of the recent fires that have ravaged the city . Behind them was the artist Sabrina Carpenter, who won the awards for best pop performance and best pop album.
