Beyoncé won two awards at the Grammys, but some think something’s off.
Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares took to X to share his own thoughts about the ceremony and explained why he thinks Beyonce’s nomination and victory was ‘rigged.’ He wrote, “What did u all think about Beyoncé winning the best country album? Normally I wouldn’t care but in this case it’s very weird to me, u think it was rigged?”
Fans agreed with Cazares’ comments. One user wrote: “Yeah, that’s a weird one. I was unaware that she even did a country album.” Another added, “When is it NOT rigged?”
Beyoncé headed into the 2025 Grammy Awards with 11 nominations and won the top prize of the night, Album of the Year for ‘Cowboy Carter.’ She also won two other awards: Best Country Album for the same album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for ‘II Most Wanted’ with Miley Cyrus.
Beyonce won against names like André 3000, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx, Jacob Collier, Billie Eilish, Chappel Roan, Taylor Swift, and more. Other than pop nominations, Beatles’ ‘Now and Then’ won the Best Rock Performance, while Gojira’s ‘Ah Ça Ira’ won the Best Metal Performance, and Rolling Stones won the Best Rock Album with ‘Hackney Diamonds.’
What did u all think about Beyoncé winning the best country album ? Normally I wouldn’t care but in this case it’s very weird to me, u think it was rigged ?
