Beyoncé’s oldest daughter took control when her stunned mom sat silently after winning Best Country Album at the 67th annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, February 2.
The singer, 43, didn’t walk the red carpet before the event, but she was in the audience when her 2024 record “Cowboy Carter” won.
Taylor Swift presented the award to Beyoncé, making her the first black woman to win in this category.
She beat Post Malone’s “F-1 Trillion,” Kacey Musgraves’ “Deeper Well,” Chris Stapleton’s “Higher,” and Lainey Wilson’s “Whirlwind.”
When Swift, 35, said Queen Bey’s name, the 32-time Grammy winner jumped out of her seat.
Wearing a beautiful dress that made her look amazing, Beyoncé looked to the left and right before looking at her daughter, Blue Ivy, who was 13 then. She told her mother to go on stage.
Fans shared the funny moment on social media.
One person joked on X, formerly Twitter, “Blue Ivy Carter, first-born daughter and Chief Executive Director of Family Operations, was like, ‘GET UP AND GO GET YOUR AWARD MOM!'”
“Not Blue Ivy being like, ‘Girl, just get up’ to THEE BEYONCÉ #GRAMMYs,” wrote a second viewer. “Blue Ivy looking at her mom like ‘what the hell are you so shocked about’ is so funny to me,” wrote a third person.
Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, was also sitting in the audience with his wife and daughter.
The singer from 16 Carriages was shocked when she finally reached the stage for her acceptance speech.
“Wow, I wasn’t expecting this. Wow. I want to thank God. Oh my God! I’m so happy that I can still do what I love after so many years. Oh my God,” Beyoncé said while collecting the Grammy.
“I’d like to thank all the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a way of limiting what artists can do, and I want to encourage people to do what they love and not give up. Wow,” she continued.
“I’d like to thank my wonderful family and all of the artists who worked with me; this album wouldn’t have been possible without you. I want to thank God again, and my fans, and I’m still in shock.”
Beyoncé might have another big win soon.
She has won more Grammys than any other artist but has never won the most important award: Album of the Year.
She has been nominated four times: for “I Am … Sasha Fierce” in 2010, “Beyoncé” in 2015, “Lemonade” in 2017, and “Renaissance” in 2023, but has lost every time.
