Beyoncé’s CMA snub comes as no surprise, but it's still upsetting
SalonWhen Beyoncé's country album dropped earlier this year, she said, "This ain’t a country album. The pop diva made the distinction clear — that even if "Cowboy Carter" could be confided to a genre, it would still be a Beyoncé album. While "Cowboy Carter" smashed records and even catapulted Black country collaborators like Shaboozey, who has been nominated for best new artist and single of the year for the song "A Bar Song," the CMAs still did not nominate the industry veteran and pop music shaper. When she released "Texas Hold 'Em" earlier this year, a country music station in Oklahoma shut down a request from a fan to play the song. However, the biggest rejection Beyoncé faced in the country music space was in 2016 after the performance of "Daddy Lessons" with the Chicks from the genre-bending album "Lemonade."
