Beyoncé Shut Out of 2024 Country Music Awards
Despite the success of Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé wasn’t nominated for a single trophy at the 2024 CMAs.
Between its No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart and having its lead single, “Texas Hold ’Em” accomplish the same feat on the Hot 100, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter accomplished a whole lot of things this year. But earning a Country Music Awards nomination wasn’t one of them.
On Monday morning, the nominees for the 2024 CMAs were announced and, despite being the first Black woman to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, the Queen Bey didn’t earn a single nomination. Notably, her Cowboy Carter collaborator, Shaboozey, landed multiple nominations for his breakout single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
Now, it should be noted that Beyoncé herself said that Cowboy Carter “ain't a Country album. This is a 'Beyoncé' album,” so, there is a chance that she simply didn’t submit the record for any CMAs this year. OKP has reached out to her team to see if this is the case.
