base talk Taylor is Top Country Female Artist (TCFM) but Beyoncé won BBMAs TCFM. Why?

What? All I'm saying is Taylor was the biggest artist in country of the year, but was disqualified because she didn't actually release a country song during the year. Bey won because of a technicality. If it was the other way around, I would've also admitted that.

Having a cult spamming her silly songs doesn't mean she is currently big in the country scene. She is not even part of it anymore.

We can only assume that there's some eligibility criteria she didn't meet for the awards specifically, like having to release tracks eligible for the genre chart  within the tracking year. That would be a rule intended to help ensure that Billboard highlights active artists during the awards, which would usually make sense and would not usually result in a contradictory result like this - and which I think would be a fair and appropriate rule to have.

 

It's probably that. For example Morgan's One Thing at a time won Top Country Album in 2023 and they didn't nominate him this year in this category despite of being the Top Country album of 2024 too because the album won the award last year

So they gave the award to the second biggest country album of the year (Zach Bryan)

 

Top Country Album

Beyoncé, Cowboy Carter

Zach Bryan, The Great American Bar Scene

WINNER: Zach Bryan, Zach Bryan

Chris Stapleton, Higher

Bailey Zimmerman, Religiously. The Album.

Well that's complete nonsense. On top of being the sixth most consumed country artist this past year without releasing anything within the genre since summer 2023 (and the most consumed among women), Taylor Swift has promoted singles to country radio, performed at the CMAs, and received nominations from the CMAs and ACMs during the 2020s. She's had a country Grammy nomination in that time, too.

Those country nominations come from a song recorded in 2011 originally meant for her 2012 pop-country album Red, and one country song doesn't make one a country artist. You guys can keep on making all these scenarios in your head but at the end of the day she wasn't nominated for a reason.

Oh Hasbeyn and Billboard.

Not a Beyonce fan but yes it does, at least for these awards that only take into account a year. And she still has the award so might as well get over it.

What are y'all talking about for 4 pages?  Taylor didn't release a country album in the tracking period.  Had she released debut TV, she probably would have won like how she won in 2023 and 2022.  
 

This is not a very interesting topic honestly

You don't get that we dont care. Bey still wins in the talent department and had #1s when Taylor was in elementary school. Only the greatest popstar of the 21st century

Sorry, I can't keep up with all the narratives that the Swifties are creating around this award. Did Beyoncé pay for the award so that Taylor wouldn't win (despite not being nominated), did Beyoncé pay for Taylor not to be nominated at all, was she hiding in the kitchen like a 'good little wife' whilst her husband controlled her career and bought everything for her, or was Taylor disqualified for eligibility?

 

I'd love for us all to be on the same page here.  Because we currently have a 4-page thread of Swifties and OBH attacking Beyoncé for winning an award over Taylor, despite her not being nominated for it in the first place. As if that's somehow Beyoncé's fault.

[Jay07]

I see the crying, screaming and feet stomping has reached astronomical levels. Ironically, the coping is so intense they don't realize that by constantly, tearfully screaming fraud, they are discrediting the very awards they themselves keep bragging she has 49 of 

 

 It's ok darlings, I realize it's been a tough few weeks, better luck next century

[Klein]

I don't understand why this deserved so much mess. 

 

Taylor was the biggest female artist in the country chart this year so she was #1 on the YEC. If what I read is right, she wasn't eligible for the award in 2024 (and that's likely the case cause she wasn't even nominated despite being #1 on the YEC) so they naturally gave it to the second biggest female artist (who is eligible) this year aka Beyoncé.

Just the last one - I never said anything about it being Beyoncé's fault and it definitely isn't. Bey has still had a really succesful year, I just found it weird that the most consumed country female artist didn't win, when that was the case with every other award at the BBMA's.

Did you mention this when the nominations were announced, or at any point in the lead-up to the announcement of Beyoncé winning? Hell, would you even have complained about it if either Lainey or Megan had won? Let's be real, the problem for the vast majority of the people complaining about this is that Beyoncé won it. Nothing else.
