Beyonce and Rihanna Are Not the Only Black Female Artists Who Have Not Won a Grammy For Album of the Year

With the Grammy Awards done and the winners decided, it seems that fans are alleging the Grammy Committee of giving awards by unfair means.

With artists like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus taking home the trophies, several awards were snubbed from important people in the music industry.

With the Grammy Awards originating as far back as 1959, there have been limited Black female artists who have taken the trophy home.

Notable names like Beyoncé and Rihanna have not yet won their Grammy Awards for Album of the Year despite being globally popular, and fans are feeling cheated!

It was the year of 1999 when Lauryn Hill became the last Black female artist to win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. From 1999 till 2024, no female artist who is a POC has won the Album of the Year award at the Grammys.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), fans talked about how several notable artists like Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Rihanna haven’t won their Grammy awards for Album of the Year. Despite creating iconic songs and albums throughout their careers, the artists haven’t gotten the deserved recognition, and fans are furious.

Well, although it is a grave issue that needs to be addressed, American host Oprah Winfrey thinks that names like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Rihanna are making the filmmaking industry difficult to bear!

Being an iconic yet controversial host, Oprah Winfrey has her fair share of opinions for the world. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Winfrey talked about how the filmmaking industry became unserious with names like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Rihanna.

“Because unless you’re saying, ‘I’m bringing Rihanna or Beyoncé or Taylor or one of the people who have 200 million followers, people are like, ‘What’s the hook?’ … So I think that that is true for certainly telling stories about people of color. And I think it’s also true for everybody who’s trying to do some serious filmmaking about all stories. It’s challenging.”

Well, people will have their personal preferences. Taylor Swift won the Grammy Award for her album, Midnights and fans are happy for the artist, while other people are alleging that there were unfair means of giving out the award.
