Lip reader reveals what Beyoncé actually said during viral moment she realised she’d won Grammy
Beyoncé's 'genuine shock' at winning a Grammy award left fans 'screaming'
A lip reader has revealed what Beyoncé apparently said during her moment of disbelief after winning a Grammy.
You would think after becoming the most-awarded artist in Grammys history, winning one more wouldn't be as shocking a deal as it seemingly was.
The star won her 35th Grammy award at last night's (2 February) annual event for her 2024 album, Cowboy Carter.

But her reaction to the win has become a viral moment on social media, as fans really saw the visible shock on her face.
Over on X, one viewer shared: "I'm screaming at Beyoncé's reaction to winning the Grammy for Best Country Album. queen!!!!!"
Another commented: “That’s a meme right there.”
After accepting the award, Beyoncé told the audience she 'was not expecting' to win and explained why she thinks 'genre' is a 'cold word' that boxes artists in.
“I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this, this album we worked so hard on… I think sometimes genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about. And to stay persistent,” she said.
Despite saying very few words when the winner was announced, a lip reader caught a glimpse of the moment and revealed what Beyoncé apparently said.
According to Jeremy Freeman, the singer said: "Oh my God? I had no idea! What do I ..."
The lip reader said that at this point she turned her back but believes the word is 'say'.
Freeman added: "What do I say? Or 'do'?"
Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, seemed mad at her mum for a split second as she stayed seated in disbelief.
Freeman added: "She kept her lips almost closed but may have caught a 'yay…go on'."
But her reaction wasn't the only one that caught the attention of viewers.
Kacey Musgraves was also nominated for her album Deeper Well, alongside the likes of Post Malone, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson in the highly sought-after category.
However, she didn't look too pleased to have lost out on the award.
Taking to X, one viewer claimed: "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."
But it seems the country singer has completely ignored any claims that she was disappointed with the loss, having posted a completely separate picture from the night.
Musgraves wasn't left too disappointed by the Grammys, as she won the award for Country Song Of The Year.
She thanked fans on X, writing: "Country Song of the Year. Thank you."
