For context, Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter — which was released in March 2024 after five years in the works — was inspired by her not feeling “welcomed” into the country music space.
Years before Cowboy Carter dropped, Beyoncé — who is from Houston, Texas — faced unfair criticism from some country music fans after she performed her 2016 country song “Daddy Lessons” with The Chicks at the Country Music Association Awards.
Later in 2016, Beyoncé was snubbed by the Grammy Awards’ Country Music Committee, per AP News.
With all this in mind, several fans were disheartened to see Beyoncé snubbed of award nominations for her country music yet again — especially given how successful Cowboy Carter was.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Beyoncé would have qualified for numerous Country Music Award categories this year, including album and song of the year.
“I get exactly what Dolly meant and she tried to keep it as positive as she can. but the problem here is that the ‘they probably only nominated country artists who been doing it for whole their career’ becomes invalid when you see they nominated Post Malone but not Beyonce,” one person tweeted.
“This would make sense if Post Malone wasn’t nominated,” someone else agreed, while a third user added, “right cos Posty does country all the time (not!!) and yet he had several noms.”
