Beyoncé is a true country girl, and the Recording Academy acknowledged this by selecting “Cowboy Carter” as the Best Country Album of the year and having Taylor Swift present the award.
After reviewing the candidates and mentioning some of the other amazing musicians who had won the category, Swift yelled out Queen Bey’s name as she entered the stage to receive the prize.
It’s quite obvious that Beyoncé didn’t see this coming if you look at her expression immediately after being called. It’s the epitome of “deer in headlights.”
After a speedy recovery, Beyoncé embraced her husband Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy before heading to the stage, where T-Swift gave her a heartfelt embrace.
Beyoncé spoke about how hard she worked on the album and thanked all the country musicians who have supported it. Listen to her remarks by watching the whole video.
