CMA Nominations: Cowboy Carter snubbed

[Kimmo 77,634]

The “This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album” didn’t make the cut…

The 2024 CMA Awards have showered Morgan Wallen and Post Malone with multiple nominations but heavily snubbed Beyoncé, though she had one of the year’s biggest country albums with Cowboy Carter and biggest country songs with “Texas Hold ‘Em.”

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter made history this year when it spent four weeks on top of Billboard’s Top country albums chart — making her the first Black woman to achieve the feat. She also became the first Black woman to hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot country songs chart with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which held the top position for a whopping 10 weeks. Both her single and album also led Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 and 200 albums charts, while seven other Cowboy Carter tracks hit the Top 10 of the Billboard country chart.

So it seems like sucking up to MAGA is how you win awards there.

EDIT: Shaboozey got in so maybe there is hope. I guess it's misogyny yet AGAIN.

do we know if Beyoncé or her label submitted anything?

[Roughhouse Dandy 6,798]

Are we surprised? No. 

Are we grossed out? Yes. 

[RebeldeFaith 4,299]

[Red 91,677]

Isn’t it the awards that inspired her to make Cowboy Carter after the mistreatment? I-

[HelloHangoverz 11,507]

This is why I don't even entertain this shite genre. If you scratch the surface it's just Donald Trump and MAGA-land staring back at you

[RickMonster98 6,859]

this is embarassing...?

but did she submit though?

[bionic 40,169]

on reflection it was a low tier album

on the flip, some of the other nominees are much worse

[Didymus 33,766]

I'd be ok with this if Post Malone didn't get noms for his country debut

[Thomas P 18,401]

I mean, I’m not shocked, but it absolutely speaks volumes

[Patrickern777 558]

How did joanne?

[gemein3 739]

The joke is sort of on the CMA: In many ways this album’s existence is thanks to this exact mistreatment and underlying racist tone of “you don’t belong here.”

[Anderson123 33,982]

Uhh even if it were nominated, Beyoncé should’ve ignored it after what they did to her, which is actually what inspired her to make that album in the first place.
