Beyoncé won big at the 2025 Grammys… With multiple awards AND meme of the night! LOLz!
The superstar’s 2024 album Cowboy Carter was up for several awards at the coveted celebration of music on Sunday, including Best Country Album… Which she snagged! And she was GAGGED!
If you didn’t catch the ceremony, Taylor Swift, who won Best Country Album in 2010, presented the award. And when she called Bey’s name, the mom of three froze in surprise! Literally! The camera cut to her looking up on stage before immediately jolting with pure shock. She looked left, then right, keeping her arms raised by her sides the entire time. See (below):

HA! Some of her shock probably had to do with the fact that she had JUST arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in LA moments before the category was called… Her timing couldn’t have been better! Imagine if she’d missed this historic moment!
When she got on stage to accept the award, the 16 Carriages singer gracefully told the audience:
“Wow, I was really not expecting this. I want to thank God that I’m still able to do what I love after so many years. I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about, and to stay persistent.”
Yes! defy those genres, Queen Bey!
The 43-year-old continued:
“I’d like to thank my beautiful family, all of the artists that were collaborators. Thank you, this wouldn’t have been this album without you. I’d like to thank God again and my fans, and I still am in shock, so thank you so much for this honor.”
Watch the entire moment (below):
So amazing! She deserved it after being so severely snubbed at the Country Music Awards!
On X (Twitter), fans have already been having a heyday with the legendary singer’s instantly classic (and highly memeable) reaction! See some of the best (below):
