The Beyhive is buzzing after the Country Music Association released its nominations for this year’s awards show. Beyoncé apparently received zero recognition from the entity for her hit album, ‘Cowboy Carter,’ which shook up the country music scene earlier this year.
Here’s What’s Going On With Beyoncé & The CMA Awards
Note that Beyoncé wasn’t the only outsider or newcomer to country music this year, but she was snubbed of any nominations. There’s Post Malone, who snagged four nominations for his song ‘I Had Some Help.’ Shaboozey also earned two nominations for his song ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy).’ Both artists were featured on Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter.’ Malone showed out on the song ‘Levii’s Jeans,’ while Shaboozey did his thing on ‘Spaghettii’ and ‘Sweet Honey Buckiin.’
Shaboozey reacted to his double nomination in an X (formerly Twitter) post, saying it’s an “honor.” In a follow-up post, he directly thanked Beyoncé for spotlighting Black country artists and creating “one of the most innovative country albums of all time.”

Shaboozey is one of three Black artists, including the duo War and Treaty, to be recognized by this year’s Country Music Awards. Meanwhile, for the third year in a row, Country Music Association members nominated Morgan Wallen for Entertainer of the Year, per the Associated Press.
The same outlet notes that ‘Cowboy Carter’s release fell within the eligibility window for the Country Music Awards. So, it’s unclear why it did not receive any nods. According to AP, members of the CMA, including music executives, artists, publicists, and songwriters, are in charge of nominations. For now, the CMA hasn’t addressed their Beyoncé’s blackout. However, their show will take place on Nov. 20.

Beyoncé Previously Said ‘Cowboy Carter’ Wasn’t A Country Album
Beyoncé has yet to react to what her fans are calling a snub. However, the Texas native previously clarified that the project was five years in the making and said it wasn’t a country album.
“I focused on this album as a continuation of RENAISSANCE…I hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop. 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,” the singer wrote on Instagram 10 days before the album’s release.
