Watch: Grammys 2025: Jay-Z Supports Beyonce’s Country Win Amid Rape Allegations, Legal Battle

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are still Bonnie & Clyde, even in 2025.

In honor of the "Texas Hold 'Em" singer's historic 11 nominations, the couple stepped out in style for the 2025 Grammys on Feb. 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. And the evening turned out to be a family affair as daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 13, also joined her parents at the annual ceremony.

For the occasion, the 29-time Grammy winner stunned in a full-length gold dress, while the "99 Problems" rapper wore a classic tuxedo. As for Blue, she shined bright with her ensemble, wearing a stunning colbalt gown. (For a look at every celeb in the building, head on over here.)

But that’s not all, as the singer took to the stage to accept the Grammy for Best Country Album.

"Wow I really was not expecting this," the 43-year-old said. "I want to thank God, oh my God, that I'm able to still do what I love after so many years."

"I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album," Beyoncé continued. "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.'"

Jay-Z’s Request to File for Dismissal of Rape Accuser’s Lawsuit Granted by Judge

Beyoncé and Jay-Z's latest star-studded night comes amid his ongoing legal battle.

In December, an accuser identified anonymously as "Jane Doe," refiled a sexual assault civil lawsuit she had originally filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs in October, this time, adding the rapper as an additional defendant. In the civil suit, the Alabama woman alleged that Jay-Z and Diddy sexually assaulted her in 2000 at a New York after-party for the MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old.

Shortly afterwards, the "Young Forever" musician spoke out to deny the allegations, telling NBC News they were "heinous in nature."

In response, the accuser's attorney Tony Buzbee shared in a Dec. 8 statement to E! News, "As far as the allegations in the complaint filed, we will let the filing speak for itself and will litigate the facts in court, not in the media."

(Earlier this month, Jay-Z's request to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit was granted by a judge, according to documents obtained by E! News.)

The 2025 awards show also comes after Jay-Z—born Shawn Cartercalled out the Recording Academy at the 2024 Grammys for snubbing his wife in the Album of the Year category. Though she has 32 overall wins—and a historic 11 nominations—Beyoncé has yet to win in that category.

As for Bey herself, she let her own lyrics on Cowboy Carter do all the talking for her: “A-O-T-Y, I ain't win (Let's go) / I ain't stuntin' 'bout them,” she says on "Sweet Honey Buckin'", “Take that s--t on the chin/ Come back and f--k up the pen.”
