Beyoncé was snubbed as she didn’t receive any Country Music Awards nominations for her album Cowboy Carter act ii.
The CMA’s caused an uproar on social media after the award program announced the 2024 nominations. Fans noticed that Beyonce’s album was not nominated for any awards. “As much as the CMAs try to, the ground breaking success and impact of Cowboy Carter will never be erased,” one user wrote on X. “Beyoncé broke records, honored country legends, and paved the way for new black country artists all while releasing a flawless country album.”
Ahead of Cowboy Carter act ii, Bey shared a message to her fans about the project. “This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.”
“This ain’t a Country album. This is a “Beyoncé” album. This is act ii COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!”
CMA Nominations:
Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson have all been nominated for entertainer of the year. Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady A, Little Big Town, Old Dominion, Dan + Shay and Shaboozey also received nominations.
Shaboozey took to X to share his sentiments towards Beyonce. “That goes without saying. Thank you @Beyonce for opening a door for us. Starting a conversation, and giving us one of the most innovative country albums of all time!”
Beyonce has yet to speak out about the nominations.. or the lack thereof rather.
