Music fans are buzzing with controversy after Beyoncé won the 2024 Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the Crypto.com Arena on February 2. The 43-year-old pop icon appeared stunned when Taylor Swift took to the stage to announce that Beyoncé had won the prestigious accolade for her album “Cowboy Carter.”
However, the shock didn’t stop at Beyoncé’s reaction. Many viewers on social media are claiming that this year’s Grammy Awards were rigged—and they’re pointing the finger at Jay-Z, Beyoncé’s husband, who had previously made waves by criticizing the Recording Academy at last year’s ceremony.
Fans React to Beyoncé’s Grammy Win for Best Country Album
On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), numerous fans voiced their disbelief at the result, fueling accusations of a rigged outcome.
One user posted a picture of Beyoncé’s shocked expression with the caption: “Beyoncé won the Grammy for Best Country Album. Even she knows it’s rigged.”
Another user added: “Let’s be honest… nobody listened to that album, the Grammys have always been rigged, and Jay-Z bought that prize for her.”
A third commenter shared: “Beyoncé shows up right before she wins Best Country Album of the Year??? And you expect people to believe the Grammys aren’t rigged? Right…”
A fourth fan expressed frustration: “Beyoncé 100% rigged the Grammys no doubt about it. I literally heard NOBODY talking about that album. The only song I’ve ever heard was the Texas one. #GRAMMYs MORE LIKE #SCAMMYS.”
Others also weighed in, echoing similar sentiments:
- “Remember when Jay-Z threw a fit at last year’s Grammys and then SOMEHOW Beyoncé wins Country Album of the Year? Tell me this isn’t as rigged as the NFL?”
- “Tell me the Grammys are rigged without telling me they are rigged. Post Malone is more country than Beyoncé! Lainey Wilson should have won that.”
- “Beyoncé won Best Country Album of the Year!! The world has lost its freaking mind! #grammys they’re rigged. Bought and paid for.”
- “This already sounds like it’s rigged for Beyoncé to win… That Jay Z check must’ve cleared. Embarrassing. Also, this gimmick of Beyoncé always showing up late is getting so old. She’s been doing this every year for the past five years.”
- “Grammy 2025: Beyoncé wins Album of the Year for ‘Cowboy Carter’. Beyoncé’s reaction says it all #GRAMMYs.”
Taylor Swift’s Loss: Fans Express Disappointment
Many fans were also disappointed by Taylor Swift’s failure to win a single award during the night despite receiving eight nominations in various categories. One user remarked: “The way she lost all of her 8 nominations while being the most acclaimed songwriter proves that Grammys are rigged. Sorry Taylor, you deserve better.”
