Panelist Sara Haines pointed out, though, that “Beyoncé wasn’t in that category this year,” before legal expert Sunny Hostin defended Jay-Z for sticking up for his spouse.

“I liked that he had the courage to say it for his wife. I like when a couple whose had a tumultuous relationship at times, you see that longevity, you see that love and see them stick up for each other. I liked that part of it. I

don’t know that it makes sense that Beyoncé has so many awards and never won Album of the Year. Renaissance was just an incredible moment for everyone, for American culture,” she observed.

“I think there’s some sort of discrepancy there in terms of who this country decides is the pop princess, or who this country makes the determination for. Sometimes, I don’t think the country gets it right.”
