On Sunday (2 February), pop-icon Beyoncé took home three more Grammys to add to her already heaving trophy cabinet.

The 43-year-old 'Lemonade' singer cinched three awards at the ceremony - Album of the Year, Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter - and remains the most decorated Grammy winner of all time.

Fellow country star, Taylor Swift, presented the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé and while many fans were absolutely buzzing about the news, it would appear as if not everyone was as stoked as a body language expert has since broken down one singer’s allegedly 'fuming' reaction to the win.

Now, the other nominees in the category included Post Malone's F-1 Trillion, Chris Stapleton's Higher, Lainey Wilson's Whirlwind and, lastly, Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well.

After Bey was announced as the winner, the camera panned to the nominees who hadn't won, with viewers believing Musgraves didn't look too pleased to have lost out.

Taking to X, one claimed to observe: "Kacey is not having it! HAHAHAHAHAHA".

"No because why did Kacey Musgraves look P****D," another added, as a third went on: "Kacey looks fuming."

And another wrote: "Kacey Musgraves was not too happy with Beyoncé’s win."

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, body language expert Darren Stanton has since shared his thoughts on Musgraves' reaction, telling Tyla: "She [Musgraves] slightly rolls her eyes and really flashes contempt.

"If you looked at the left hand side of her smile it curls up slightly. In psychology we call this a bi-lateral smile, it usually suggests that the person is being smug."

You can see Musgraves' reaction for yourself below:

According to Darren, this 'suggests a level of annoyance that she didn’t win' as he added: "Her body language is congruent and consistent with somebody who is genuinely annoyed."

The expert also pointed out that Musgraves 'appeared to be clapping incredibly fast'.

"In body language clapping slowly is commonly associated with sarcasm, but the fast clapping suggests that she is keen for the moment to be over," he added.

Darren went on to tell Tyla that, psychologically, Musgraves 'may have thought that clapping quickly would make it look as though she was happy for [Beyoncé] but it doesn’t hide her emotions well'.

He added: "Emily Blunt gave a similar reaction when she missed out on an Oscar last year. There is no doubt at all that she was not happy."

Beyoncé's latest wins sees her remain the greatest Grammy award-winner of all time with a staggering 35 awards won throughout her decade-spanning career, which is more than any artist in history since the ceremony first started decades ago back in 1959.

A rep for Musgraves told E! News yesterday (3 February): "It’s a sensationalistic false narrative meant to pit two talented female artists against each other. There was simply no scowl or expression made."

Tyla has contacted Musgraves' representatives for a comment.
