Beyonce lands 12 nominations at People’s Choice Country Awards – after backlash over Cowboy Carter album
As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I have seen numerous artists attempt to cross genres and break barriers in music. However, few have done so with as much grace, talent, and cultural sensitivity as Beyoncé has with her latest project, Cowboy Carter.
Beyonce earned 12 nominations for the upcoming 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards.
As a long-time fan of country music, I must say that I’ve been truly impressed by the meteoric rise of a newcomer named Cowboy Carter. Her latest album has catapulted her to the top of this year’s nominations, tying with another talented artist, Zach Bryan. I remember discovering her music a few years back when she was just starting out, and it’s been a joy to watch her career take off. The authenticity and passion in her songs resonate deeply with me, as someone who grew up listening to country music in the heartland of America. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, talent, and a little bit of luck. I can’t wait to see what she does next!
42-year-old artist known for her song “Crazy in Love” earned two nominations in the category of Female Song of the Year, for her tracks “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em”.
Moreover, she received two nominations in the Cover Song classification, thanks to her performances of The Beatles’ Blackbird and Dolly Parton’s Jolene.
She’s up against the likes of Parton and Kacey Musgraves in the Female Artist category.
She’s also nominated in the coveted People’s Artist and Social Country Star categories.
1. Texas Hold ‘Em is a candidate for Song of the Year, BLACKBIIRD’s collaboration has been nominated in the Category of Collaboration Song of the Year. Miley Cyrus’ duet with BLACKBIIRD, titled II Most Wanted, is also in contention for Crossover Song of the Year. Lastly, 16 Carriages is up for Storyteller Song of the Year.
Beyonce’s achievement comes despite criticism over the pop star’s transition into country music.
Prior to the album’s launch in March, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that the megastar is unconcerned with the opinions of those who wish for her to confine herself within a limited range or genre.
The insider said Beyonce will not be swayed by any negative reactions she might receive from detractors as she is focused on shining a ‘spotlight the contributions African-Americans made to the genre.’

In truth, this experience seems to have instilled greater courage within her. By the end of summer, even her critics will be able to discern the distinction between ‘yee’ and ‘haw’.
24 hours following her Super Bowl announcement of the upcoming album, Azealia Banks criticized her severely, labeling her entry into country music as an act of self-centeredness.
She posted on Instagram on Monday, “You’re positioning yourself for more mockery,” she said. “Country music has a dramatic flair to it! Those critics won’t simply tolerate a tacky blonde wig and harassment from Jay-Z!! It screams high-profile musical deception.”
As a longtime fan of country music, I’ve always admired its rich history and authentic storytelling. But lately, it seems like Beyoncé is trying to break into this genre in a way that feels forced and insincere. I remember growing up, listening to country music legends like Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash, who truly understood the heart and soul of country music.
On another occasion, Texas-native Beyoncé has emphasized her Southern musical heritage, following the excitement her 2016 song Daddy Lessons brought to listeners.
Enthusiasts of music instantly lauded the country-style song upon its appearance in her highly-regarded album, Lemonade.
In 2016, during the 50th Country Music Association Awards, the star delivered an outstanding live rendition of their single, accompanied by the esteemed country group, The Chicks.
According to the source, Beyonce found inspiration to create a country album following the overwhelming response from her fans towards her hit song “Daddy Lessons” and her captivating performance at the Country Music Association Awards.
At the 2016 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé attempted to enter Daddy Lessons in the country music category; however, this submission was not accepted by the country music panel of the Recording Academy.
If the song had been selected, it would have been up for awards like Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.
Beyoncé used her latest venture as a platform to underscore the deep-rooted African-American influences in country music, focusing on Cowboy Carter.
As a committed advocate, I aim to utilize my influence to shine a light on the remarkable achievements and contributions that African-Americans have made in fields where they have historically faced exclusion.
‘She spent months writing and researching.’
Under the guidance of Shania Twain, the People’s Choice Awards of 2024 will be aired live from the vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee, on the 26th of September.
“The nation boasts some incredibly devoted music enthusiasts, and we artists feel incredibly fortunate to receive their unwavering support as we pursue our passions,” Twain expressed in a statement.
She added: ‘I am honored to host an award show that celebrates these awesome fans.
Prepare yourself for a spectacular event brimming with voluminous hairstyles, glitz, sequins, headgear, footwear, and outstanding acts. Let’s buckle up and get excited!
