Luke Bryan Weighs In on Beyoncé’s CMA Awards Snub: If You’re Gonna Make Country Albums, Come Into Our World & Be Country w/ Us A Little Bit’
Luke Bryan had some interesting words to share about Beyoncé seemingly being snubbed by the Country Music Association Awards.
As recently reported, despite the hype and historic record-breaking moments that followed Beyoncé’s eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, she shockingly didn’t receive a single nomination for the upcoming CMA Awards.
Addressing the confusion surrounding the apparent snub, CMA Awards’ cohost, country singer Luke Bryan, told Andy Cohen during a recent episode of his Radio Andy show on SiriusXM,
“I’m all for everybody coming in and making country albums and all that, but just because she made one … like, just because I made one, doesn’t mean I get nominations. A lot of great music is overlooked. Sometimes you don’t get nominated.”
Speaking on Beyoncé’s fanbase, aka the BeyHive, Luke Bryan said,
“Obviously, Beyoncé made a country album and Beyoncé has a lot of fans out there that have her back, and if she doesn’t get something they want, man, they come at you — as fans should do.”
He added,
“I think the CMA has their voting body and they vote what they think should make it. Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody’s mad about it, but where things get a little tricky [is] if you’re gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us. Like, Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants to … but come to an award show and high-five us, have fun and get in the family too.”
