Taylor Swift presented Best Country Album at the Grammys—and she ended up getting to give the award to her friend Beyoncé.
Swift read Beyoncé’s name with joy, and the two stars exchanged a hug and air kiss onstage.
While accepting the trophy, Beyoncé spoke about her surprise winning the Grammy.
“I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album,” she said. “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 wanna encourage people to do what they’re passionate about and to stay persistent.
Wow, I’d like to thank my beautiful family, all of the artists that were collaborators.
