Beyoncé wins Album of the Year Grammy for "Cowboy Carter"

State of play: Beyoncé dedicated her win to Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.

• "I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors," Beyoncé said.

Zoom in: "Cowboy Carter" was also named Best Country Album. Beyoncé was visibly shocked when she accepted that trophy from Taylor Swift.

Between the lines: The album was inspired in part by the frosty reception Beyoncé got when she performed at the CMA Awards with The Chicks in 2016.

What she's saying: "I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album," Beyoncé said.

• "I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about."

What's next: Beyoncé also announced the upcoming "Cowboy Carter" tour this weekend. We're still waiting for the list of individual dates.
