See why fans are freaking out over BTS video of Beyoncé’s spot-on timing when she arrived literally seconds before her name was called for winning Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter.
Beyoncé is never late, everyone else is simply early.
As if we needed more proof that the music icon has super-human abilities, fans are freaking out over footage of the “16 Carriages” singer’s spot-on timing at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which shows the icon arriving to the ceremony—hosted by Trevor Noah at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena—literally seconds before her name was called for the Best Country Album category.

In E! News’ exclusive behind-the-scenes video, Bey is seen walking into the event with daughter Blue Ivy Carter and husband Jay Z escorted by a security guard. Bey was all smiles while greeting her peers as her first televised category was about to be presented by fellow Grammys record-breaker Taylor Swift.
A literal moment later, Bey made history by winning Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter, making her the first Black woman to win a Grammys country category in half a decade. (Bey also took home the trophy for Best County Duo/Group Performance for her collaboration “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus, which wasn’t televised.)

And Bey’s genuinely shocked reaction to winning the category has already caught fire on social media. Even Blue Ivy had to remind her mom she had won.
“Wow I really was not expecting this,” the 43-year-old said on stage while accepting her award dressed in a jaw-dropping nude lace gown with long blond hair. (See every celebrity fashion look on the Grammys red carpet here.) “I want to thank God, oh my God, that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years.”

“I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album,” Beyoncé continued. “We worked so hard on it. 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, and to say, ‘Stay persistent.'”
“I still am in shock,” the most-winning singer in Grammys history concluded, “so thank you so much for this honor.”
