In a night filled with glitz, surprises, and genre-defying moments, Beyoncé has officially made history at the American Music Awards (AMAs) by clinching two major awards in the Country category — a groundbreaking moment that further solidifies her as a musical chameleon with no limits.
The Texas-born superstar, known for dominating R&B, Pop, and Soul, stunned audiences with her latest country-inspired album, Cowgirl Renaissance, which has been topping charts and redefining the genre. Her wins for “Favorite Country Album” and “Favorite Country Female Artist” mark the first time a Black female artist has taken home multiple AMA Country awards in a single night.
Fans and critics alike have praised Beyoncé for her bold genre crossover, blending traditional country roots with powerful storytelling and southern flair. Social media lit up within minutes of her acceptance speech, where she dedicated the award to “every Black girl who ever picked up a guitar and felt out of place.”
Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion, another Texas queen, kept the Hip-Hop fire burning by grabbing the “Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist” award, thanking her fans — the “Hotties” — and paying tribute to Houston in her speech. Her latest project, Hot Pressure, has been dominating the streaming charts with bangers like “Outta Pocket” and “Hood Elegance.”
