The Country Music Awards nominations were announced on Monday and one superstar was noticeably absent from the list: Beyoncé. The singer released her first full-length country project 'Cowboy Carter' in March. Fans were disappointed by Monday’s snub and criticized the CMAs for excluding Beyoncé, who had previously expressed that she felt unwelcome in the country genre. A representative for Beyoncé did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Beyoncé made history with 'Texas Hold 'Em,' which became the first song by a Black female artist to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart after it was released in February. 'Cowboy Carter' has been considered a tribute to Black musicians' contributions to country music. Many viewed the album as a reclamation of country, which has often been perceived as a genre for white men.
