Beyonce’s country-inspired album Cowboy Carter got well-deserved awards at the 67th Annual Grammys ceremony on Sunday night.

The stunning songstress won three of her eleven Grammy nods. After being overlooked for Album of the Year multiple times, wrongly so in some music fans’ opinions, Beyonce finally snagged an award for the category last night. In addition to winning Album of the Year, she made history as she became the first African-American woman to win a Grammy for Best Country Album and the fourth African-American woman to win Album of the Year. There to see Beyonce’s moment of glory were her husband, rap star Jay-Z, and their daughter, Blue Ivy.

Although viewers at home anticipated that Beyonce would win Best Country Album given the success of Cowboy Carter, when award presenter Taylor Swift announced she won, Beyoncé seemed shocked.

Cameras captured Beyonce at the table with Blue and Jay, catching the moment her famous hubby hugged her and whispered something in her ear. Some speculated about what the Song Cry rhymer said to his wife on social media. Lip reader NJ Hickling recently answered the question many are asking.

NJ exclusively revealed to The Mirror that Jay-Z whispered to Beyonce before she went on stage to accept her Grammy for Best Country Album: “Woah woah woah. Bout time! You’re a top girl.”

Beyonce’s acceptance speech for Best Country Album was very heartfelt and inspirational.

“Wow I really was not expecting this,” the 16 Carriages crooner said. “I want to thank God, oh my God, that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years.”

An emotional Jay watched endearingly as she added: “I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it. I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists. And I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about, and to say, ‘Stay persistent.'”
