Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' Album Didn't Receive Any CMA Award Nominations
HuffPost
The groundbreaking album's country elements can't be denied.
Beyoncé’s groundbreaking “Cowboy Carter” album was not nominated for the 58th Annual Country Music Association Awards, according to the CMA’s nominations announcement on Monday.
“Cowboy Carter,” the second act of Beyoncé’s three-part project that began with 2022′s highly coveted “Renaissance,” left an impression on the music world when it was released on March 29. The 27-track genre-bending album, with country at its core, was a success, with Beyoncé becoming the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and leading her fans to wonder if the Houston-born legend would become the first Black woman to be nominated for Album of the Year at the 2024 CMA Awards.
However, the CMA had other plans. “Cowboy Carter” is not a nominee for the Album of the Year category, which includes Kacey Musgraves’ “Deeper Well,” Luke Combs’ “Fathers & Sons,” Chris Stapleton’s “Higher,” Cody Johnson’s “Leather” and Jelly Roll’s “Whitsitt Chapel.”
And none of the other categories feature a Queen Bey nomination. The CMA Awards will air on Nov. 20.
Prior to the release of “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé shared in an Instagram post how a past moment inspired her to create the album. Although she didn’t directly reveal what that was, fans quickly realized she was referring to her appearance at the 2016 CMA Awards, where she performed “Lemonade” track “Daddy’s Lessons” with the Chicks (then known as the Dixie Chicks).
