The wait is over.

The Grammys named Beyoncé's “Cowboy Carter” album of the year Sunday, filling one of the few remaining gaps in her otherwise legendary career.

“I just feel very full and very honored,” Beyoncé said after she accepted the award. “It’s been many, many years.”

Beyoncé, the most decorated artist in Grammys history, had previously lost the award — considered the most prestigious handed out by the Recording Academy — four times.

“Cowboy Carter” dropped in March to broadly positive reviews, though it was met with some resistance from the country music scene. The album was shut out of the Country Music Association Awards nominations last year.
