Why Billy Ray Cyrus was ‘surprised’ Beyonce didn’t get CMA Awards nomination for country album
As a lifestyle expert with years of experience in the music industry, I find it intriguing to witness the ongoing debate surrounding Beyonce’s snub at the Country Music Association Awards. Having worked with artists from various genres and seen firsthand the boundaries they push, I can appreciate Beyonce’s bold foray into country music with her album “Cowboy Carter.
Billy Ray Cyrus spoke up in support of Beyoncé, who was not nominated for Country Music Association Awards, even though she’s made a successful move into country music, following her exclusion by the organization.
Beyonce however has been nominated for 11 Grammys this year – with five in the country sector.
Billy Ray, aged 63, expressed surprise at being overlooked. He further stated that the album Cowboy Carter of hers was exceptional, and her single dominated the charts.
On a Wednesday afternoon, he posted his thoughts on his Instagram before the Country Music Association Awards took place in the evening.
‘Congratulations to ALL @cma nominees! I’m so happy and proud to see country music opening their doors and format to be inclusive to all people, all styles. @lilnasx and I won this award in 2019 for Event of the Year… but you wouldn’t have seen it because they didn’t air it in the show,’ he wrote on his Instagram.
It came as a shock to me that Beyoncé wasn’t nominated, given her album was exceptional and her single is unrivaled. Yet, she understands her worth; the CMA award, permission, or approval from their judges are unnecessary for her. As Muhammad Ali once said, ‘When you knock them out, you don’t need a judge.’
Carter’s Eighth Studio Album, titled “Cowboy,” was published on March 29, 2024, under the labels Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records.
Texas Hold’ Em climbed up to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, moving from its initial second-place debut.
It also reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs list – making history.
Beyoncé, hailing from Texas, is the first black female artist to achieve a number-one spot on the country music charts, as reported by Billboard.
The album reached the top position on the Billboard 200, marking a historical milestone for Beyoncé as she became the first black female artist to lead the country albums chart.
Earlier, Dolly Parton expressed her views about Beyoncé’s overlooked album. She acknowledged that it was ‘marvelous’.
It was thought by some that the awards ceremony might not want to overlook any artists who have had a significant career in country music for an extended period of time.
Yet, this year, Post Malone ventured into a new genre and released a country album titled “F-1 Trillion” on August 16, 2024. This album has earned him four nominations at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards.
Luke Bryan also had an opinion on Beyonce’s snub.
During an interview with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show “Andy Cohen Live,” Luke, one of the hosts for the CMA Awards, shared some intriguing thoughts.
Everyone seemed to adore Beyoncé releasing a country album, as no one was upset by it. However, Luke added a bit of a twist, suggesting that if she wants to make country music, she should immerse herself more in the genre and connect with the community.
Adding: ‘Beyonce can do it exactly what she wants to. She’s probably the biggest star in music. But come to an award show and high-five us, and have fun and get in the family too. And I’m not saying she didn’t do that.’
After being criticized for his remarks, Luke made it clear that neither his comments nor his intentions were malicious: ‘You will discern my tone and intentions, which were not harmful. I admire Beyoncé and appreciate her devoted fans. I invest a great deal of effort in supporting other artists. I wish everyone success. Love to all,’ he posted on his X (previously Twitter) page.
