The country category of the AMAs has traditionally favored prominent artists; however, this year’s standout winner was an artist who transcends genre boundaries.
At the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs), Beyoncé surprisingly took home the award for Favourite Female Country Artist in the country category. Many fans believed that Lainey Wilson was more deserving of the accolade after she performed her new song live during the event, which led to some debate.
This marks the first time the 11-time AMA winner has been acknowledged in the country music category, as the “Texas Hold ‘Em” diva secured two awards at the 2025 AMAs: Favourite Female Country Artist and Favourite Country Album.
Her album “Cowboy Carter” triumphed over Jelly Roll’s “BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN,” Megan Moroney’s “AM I OKAY?,” Post Malone’s “F-1 Trillion,” and Shaboozey’s “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.”
