Beyoncé thanked her family and all the artists collaborating with her on Cowboy Carter, adding, “Thank you. This wouldn’t have been this album without you.”

Swift presented the award to Beyoncé, taking the stage to recall her country music origins, saying, “I will never forget standing here, right on this spot, almost exactly 15 years ago, accepting the Grammy Award for Best Country Album.”
