Tina Knowles has no doubt about Beyoncé’s power.
But even she was left speechless when her eldest daughter took home her first Album of the Year win for Cowboy Carter. In Fact, Miss Tina shared that she was with Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 7-year-old twins Rumi Carter and Sir Carter, watching as her daughter was joined by Blue Ivy Carter, 13, onstage for the big moment.
“I was at her house, I was there to help she and Blue get ready,” Tina said during a Feb. 24 appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show. “I just really was not expecting. I was really, really shocked. So shocked.”
“In fact, I sat there for a second and didn’t believe it was true,”she continued. “I was sitting there with my granddaughter Rumi and my grandson Sir, and for a second, we were just sitting there. I couldn’t believe it.”
Indeed, after watching Beyoncé win for Best Country Album (a moment that left her visibly stunned before she took the stage) Album of the Year still didn’t seem possible, as the “Cuff it” singer—who has 99 total Grammy nominations and 35 wins—had never taken home the trophy in that category.
