People Have Noticed That Beyoncé Was Enduring A Seriously Uncomfortable Wardrobe Malfunction When She Accepted The Best Country Album Grammy

In case you missed it, Beyoncé made history on Sunday night when her 2024 album, Cowboy Carter, won the Best Country Album Grammy — making Bey the first Black artist to ever win in this category.

For reference, The Pointer Sisters had a similar win back in the ‘70s when they won the Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group Grammy, but Beyoncé marks the first time that a Black solo artist has won the accolade for a country album.

And Beyoncé was clearly caught off-guard by this achievement, with her shocked reaction to her name being announced immediately going viral on social media.

Needless to say, Beyoncé’s fans were overcome with emotion by her well-deserved success, but now that they’ve had some time to come to terms with her win, they’ve noticed that the star was enduring a pretty uncomfortable wardrobe malfunction throughout the entire thing.

As it happens, the white underwire of Beyoncé’s stunning Schiaparelli gown was visibly poking into her chest as she accepted the award.

Singer Chauntee Ross was among the first to draw people’s attention to this malfunction in a TikTok video that has been viewed more than 1.8 million times.

In the clip, Chauntee zooms in on the underwire on display as Beyoncé delivers her speech, and shouts: “Who did this?! Who did this to her?!”

“That was absolute sabotage!” she adds, with a friend in the video quipping: “We all know what that bra wire stab feels like!”

Commenting on the viral video, one person wrote: “I told my husband imagine having beyonces money and still being personally attacked by an underwire.”

“I felt so bad for her!! We’ve all been there girl but not on the Grammys 😭” somebody else wrote.

While another wrote: “She better than me, I woulda fixed it on national tv 😭 that ishhh hurt!”

One more commenter theorized: “As someone who makes dresses I immediately saw that the dressmaker forgot to do the few top stitches after inserting wires 💀”

And over on X, people believe that Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, actually approached her to warn her about the exposed underwire before she went on stage to accept the award.

Unfortunately, Jay’s best efforts did not pay off, but thankfully, Beyoncé managed to resolve the issue in time for her iconic Album of the Year win at the end of the night.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the venue when Bey was crowned winner of the Grammys’ most coveted award for the first time ever, beating off stiff competition from the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Charli XCX.
