12:41 am
>> it was an historic night. decades in the making. beyonce becoming the first black woman to win album of the year in over a quarter century at the grammys. accepting her award with daughter blue ivy by her side. >> i just feel very full and very honored. it's been many, many years. >> fans ecstatic. >> oh my gosh, she got it. >> she won. so that's all that matters. >> the most nominated and awarded artist in grammy history. finally snagging the grammys top award after having been nominated for the album of the year four times before. >> and i hope we just keep pushing forward opening doors. >> it's a feat. her husband jay-z, the most awarded rapper in grammy history, called out at last year's show while accepting the doctor dre global impact award. >> think about that. the most grammys never won album of the year. that doesn't work. >> last night, jay-z and fellow superstar taylor swift raising their glasses to queen bee.
12:42 am
>> it probably feels very validating and redemptive in a lot of ways that she won album for the year, for an album that she flipped genres and still kept and maintained her audience while also collecting a new audience, while also educating everyone about the tradition of country music. >> earlier in the night, swift presented beyonce with another milestone win. best country album of the year. >> cowboy carter. making her the first black woman to win a country grammy in 50 years. >> i think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and i just want to encourage people to do what they're passionate about. >> the moment even more poignant after beyonce was snubbed at the country music association awards. >> cowboy carter itself is really an homage to black country musicians who have been unable to walk through the front
12:43 am
door in their own genre of music. for her to get that kind of validation had to feel amazing. >> over the last couple of years, many have drawn comparisons between beyonce and taylor swift. while they were each promoting their new albums and going on tours, swift's eras tour becoming the highest grossing tour of all time, and each artist attending the other's concert film premieres. while swift didn't win any of her six nominations for her tortured poets department album last night, the camaraderie between the two was apparent, many comparing the moment to 16 years ago after kanye's infamous interruption on the video music awards stage. >> i'm really happy for you. i'll let you finish. but beyonée had one of the best videos of all time. >> beyonce later bringing the young taylor back up. >> so i like for taylor to come out and have her moment. >> beyonce's award winning night also included best country duo
12:44 am
or group performance for the song two most wanted, featuring miley cyrus. >> i'll be your shotgun ride until the day i die. >> she's the first black woman to win this category since the pointer sisters in 1975, 50 years ago for fairy tale. that ain't good woman is hard to find. >> when beyonce released cowboy carter last march, the album sparked instant praise and outrage from texas. hold em. >> this ain't texas. ain't no hold em so lay your cards down, down, down, down. >> only god knows. only god knows. only god. >> to 16 carriages. >> 16 carriages. >> to ride. >> people couldn't stop talking about beyonce's foray into country music. >> i think the topic of her lyrics is very country centered.
12:45 am
>> country music is for everybody. it's for beyonce. >> just because you sing hip hop music with a country accent does not make it country music. >> michael jordan was known as a basketball player or a baseball player. nuff said. >> on social media. an uproar ensued when a fan posted that in oklahoma country radio station initially refused to play beyonce's new music. in a statement, the minority owned station kiqq said that at the time they, quote, had zero knowledge that beyonce was going to release a country song and added we highly respect beyonce and her talent. on cable news, former dukes of hazzard star john schneider sang this. >> they've got to make their mark just like a dog in a in a dog park. >> in a statement, a representative for schneider said john was clearly talking about artists attempting to cross over into country music and not specifically about beyonce. >> i look at the reaction to beyonce. i hope i can speak
12:46 am
frank here, but it's the musical equivalent of shut up and dribble. >> all of this forcing a reflection on the sometimes fraught history of race and country music. >> people like to ask the question, why is country music so white? and i point to the larger issue that america is segregated and country music has rated its identity into american identity. >> the problem is, the way that the industry is reacting to her is not the way that they have reacted to any black woman in the past, and i don't think it will be the way that they react to other black women in the future. >> before the album, cowboy carter even dropped, beyonce made history, becoming the first black woman with the number one song on the country charts with texas hold em. >> that's incredible because this is a place where lil nas x's old town road wasn't allowed to be considered on the country charts. >> wanna take my horse to the old town road? i'm gonna ride
12:47 am
til i can't no more. >> this is the place where morgan wallen was caught on tape saying racial slurs, and the response to that was to give him one of the biggest albums in country music of all time. so there's a lot of work that needs to be done. >> in a post on instagram, beyonce writing, my hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist's race as it relates to releasing genres of music will be irrelevant. she added that the album was born out of an experience that i had years ago, where i did not feel welcomed. >> i think texas hold em and 16 carriages exist as a pinnacle moment for country music, because they point back to an extraordinary black country past, so it is pointing back to an entire history of black musicality and black presence. >> it takes somebody who is at superstar status to do something that shakes it all up. >> that shakeup, thanks in part to country and folk artists rhiannon giddens, her banjo is
12:48 am
the first thing you hear on texas hold em. >> i know for a long time you said once beyonce puts a banjo on a track, my job is done. obviously you don't feel like your job is done. >> yes. >> never done. do you feel like this isn't about beyonce going country? it's beyonce getting back to her roots. >> i'm like, people can do what they want to do. they want to make a country record. make a country record. everybody has the opportunity to explore their roots, to go back and go like, this is my life too. i want to, i want to do this like the stay in your lane, the well, that's not real country. that's just racism. you know, people don't want to say it's because she's black, you know, but they use these these coded terms, you know, and that's problematic. >> the banjo wasn't always something rhiannon felt comfortable around growing up in north carolina, but that changed once she learned the roots of
12:49 am
those strings. >> finding out that the banjo was an african derived instrument invented by people in the caribbean, african diaspora, enslaved people blew my mind and i was like it. it lit this fire in me and i was kind of like, can i can i come into this music? i really like it, you know? and then i learned the history and i was like, give it to me. you know? i was like, this is mine too. this is everybody. >> to now be a part of this moment. on beyoncé's country hit. what is that like for you? >> like, to be honest, it's like it's the best thing ever. i think about the legacy of the black string band player, the black banjoist, the black fiddler that helped create the pathways and the byways of american culture to be represented in that way is just
12:50 am
amazing. >> beyoncé's wins last night, further adding to that legacy. >> she decided to create a country music album to really eliminate the gatekeeping that was happening and to break down barriers, show people that she can find herself in just about any genre of music and make it work. and she did. >> now, for the next step of her journey, the much anticipated cowboy carter tour, announced after a delay due to the devastating los angeles fires. many of the heroic firefighters taking the stage last night. >> i am confident that we will recover and rebuild together because we are la strong. >> our thanks to janey for much more on beyonce's trailblazing cowboy carter album. watch the full impact by nightline. it's beyonce country now streaming on hulu. when we come back.
12:51 am

what just might be his most transformative role yet. here's abc's will reeve. >> you get a call from someone saying, we want you to be in a marvel movie. how did you answer that call? >> in no particular order, i thought. why not? might be interesting. i've seen a lot of really good actors have fun. and so give me give me a little piece. >> harrison ford is back in action. the 82 year old superstar pulling no punches now joining the marvel cinematic universe. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states. >> you want me? come and get me. >> did you work out? what did you do? >> oh, yeah. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. i worked out to be just like
