A Recording Academy voter explained why Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER deserved to win Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys, calling it a groundbreaking project.
They said the album had a huge impact on country music, giving other country artists a chance to shine.
It also sparked conversations about American and music history while blending different genres.
Addressing claims that Beyoncé’s win was undeserved, the voter dismissed the idea that it was a “participation trophy.”
Instead, they argued that other artists were getting participation trophies for work that wasn’t as bold or innovative.
They also emphasized that awards should honor artistry, not just streaming numbers: “If music was solely about Spotify streams or numbers then every Blockbuster film would win an Oscar. Movie is also art.”
