Beyoncé took home album of the year at the 67th Grammy Awards for "Cowboy Carter," the first time she has won the coveted award. After accepting the award, which was presented by members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Beyoncé said in the acceptance speech that she was humbled.

Every time someone presented one of the show’s major prizes — album of the year, record of the year, song of the year, best new artist — he or she rattled off the line before revealing the winner. It was a small but telling detail that demonstrated how the academy wants to be perceived after years of being portrayed as a shadowy record-industry cabal.
