Whoopi Goldberg Defends Beyoncé's Historic Grammy Wins Against Fox News Criticism

The EGOT winner rebuked conservative pundit Raymond Arroyo's claims about Beyoncé's Grammy success, emphasizing her earned achievements and systemic changes in the awards process.

Beyoncé made history at the 2025 Grammys, winning Album of the Year for 'Cowboy Carter' and becoming the first Black woman to win Best Country Album.
Conservative author Raymond Arroyo criticized Beyoncé's wins on Fox News, questioning her accolades compared to artists like Dolly Parton and Frank Sinatra.
Arroyo claimed Grammy voters were unqualified, suggesting that 'Lady Gaga’s cat sitter' could cast votes, which Whoopi Goldberg debunked on 'The View.'
Goldberg highlighted that Grammy categories have expanded significantly since the awards' inception, making comparisons to past winners misleading.
Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' album was praised for blending country with other genres and spotlighting Black artists in country music, despite initial resistance from the genre's establishment.
