This is actually a very open-minded answer, lol. I expected everyone to defend Beyoncé.

dolly girl 

 

No one is saying she must win but she deserves at least one nomination, even is she doesn't win . 
 

Cowboy Carter might not have performed as well as expected but it's still one of the biggest country album this year , Texas Hold 'Em is one of the biggest country songs this year. So yes, from both commercial and critical point of view , she deserve at least one nomination even if she doesn't win.

She's right tho.  It's like some of ya'll think her sudden experimentation in a new genre makes her worth being nominated.  

Edited September 17, 20242 yr by Archetype

Her response is very diplomatic and at same time shocking considering she's featured in it.

She's not entirely wrong  

 

You all do way too much on that lady, same way barbs do with...that lady. 

 

She explored a sound that had some elements of country, bluegrass and americana. It's very hard to put CC in a box and that's not really a bad thing 

 

Remember Kacey and star-crossed not getting noms in country categories? They all said NO to that album because it wasn't country enough lol, despite her being a country artist. 

 

Award shows are messes anyway and you all take them too seriously.

With a Katy P avi you would understand what it means to flop. Especially when Katy hasn't had even a top 30 hit after 3 releases from a new album. Remember, Beyonce went number #1 this year with a song AND album. 

And yet both her #1 song and #1 album are flops in the long run. Katy Perry flopping worse isn't really a flex in this day and age

Dolly is RIGHT

 

The way Beyonce fans think she needs to get nominated for everything   She's not a country artist, her album flopped after the second week and nobody listens to it anymore.

 

There are far superior country artists than her that deserve their nominations.

Her flop album still performed better commercially than some of the albums nominated. Texas Hold 'Em is bigger hit than some of the songs nominated. No one is saying she must win, but she deserves to be nominated please.

I think she means well, but I don't even think Beyonce submitted the album because in the first place. Especially considering how they're the reason she made the album was made. Unless this was the plan to get the awards dragged one last time as a parting shot. *tinfoil hat off*

Both are platinum, when was Katy's last platinum plaque? Quickly.

Reading is critical luv 

Regarding the part she said some artists have been doing this their whole life , hence deserve to be nominated. That's what life time achievement is for. Most awards categories are simply based on events within a particular year. Song of the year, so so of the year, etc. just because you've been doing it for 20 years doesn't make you more deserving  if you are outperformed by a relatively new artist. 

Stfu white old hag

I mean, she kind of said nothing. Lol.

Country legend Miranda Lambert was also snubbed by the CMAs and like Beyoncé, her lead single failed to reach top 30 on Country radio. Is there any pushback to her snubs? Obv not.

dolly baby get behind me

Dolly is a country legend but yeah pretend her opinion is worthless 

Time to strike a match and light up this juke joint 

Y'all can never make me hate Dolly, but I think her well-meaning comment shows how deep the gatekeeping of country runs in its history. Dolly even herself can't explain it properly. Bey opened her album stating that she is country enough to do country music. You don't have much of these discussions in other genres. Artists like Post Malone have recently explored genres from hip-hop to rap to pop to rock to country and he doesn't have to explain himself like Bey does. Cowboy Carter is a burden to the CMAs cause it really opens a wound that has been there since the genre's inception and it's not adressed properly. Dolly isn't shy to be political, but if even she doesn't know how to describe the inherent tension within the genre, you know it's serious.

she said a bunch of nothing but I sort of understand the message, can't say I agree tho

When Post was snubbed from Rap or Pop categories at the Grammys, no one would complain like he's owed something, despite huge success.

This issue is a lot more complex than most of you are allowing for. There's undeniable racism in the industry but there's also a lot of gatekeeping toward white artists who try and dabble in it, too. Add Beyonce to the mix with the way she's already a lightning rod for conversations like this and there's not a clear, simple answer. 

That some of you want to reduce what Dolly said down to a simple rejection of Beyonce is telling of your intentions, though. 

i hope jolene comes for a 2nd round with her man.

This isn't just about nominations. Post can switch genres as he pleases without suffering backlash. Beyoncé received backlash for singing at the CMAs. No one questions whether Post (or other artists) are "hip-hop", "pop", "rock" or "country" enough to explore tjose genres, but Beyoncé or that Kacey Musgraves album that was mentioned somehow don't have that privilege, despite having the strong support of other artists. I think country is really unique in the way that the gatekeeping is very strong, much stronger than in other very popular genres.
