Music fans have been voicing their upset since Beyoncé was completely snubbed at this year’s Country Music Awards.
The nominations for the 2024 CMAs were revealed on Monday afternoon, with the music icon’s latest album Cowboy Carter not landing a single nod, despite its critical and commercial success.
While the Formation singer has dabbled with country music in the past, Cowboy Carter represented her biggest step into the genre to date.
The woman herself dismissed the idea that Cowboy Carter is an outright “country album” (“it’s a Beyoncé album!” she insisted around its release), but there’s no denying it was heavily inspired by country music.
Cowboy Carter ended up making history when Beyoncé became the first Black woman to score a number one album on Billboard’s Country Music Charts.
Similarly, lead single Texas Hold ’Em – one of the album’s most obviously country-inspired tracks – was overlooked by the CMAs, despite topping Billboard’s country chart, as well as reaching number one in the mainstream singles chart on both sides of the Atlantic.
The album also featured guest appearances from some of the most influential country artists alive today including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Linda Martell.
