Dolly Parton Defends CMAs After Beyoncé Snub

For context, Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter — which was launched in March 2024 after 5 years within the works — was impressed by her not feeling “welcomed” into the nation music area.

Years earlier than Cowboy Carter dropped, Beyoncé — who’s from Houston, Texas — confronted unfair criticism from some nation music followers after she carried out her 2016 nation track “Daddy Classes” with The Chicks on the Nation Music Affiliation Awards.

Later in 2016, Beyoncé was snubbed by the Grammy Awards’ Nation Music Committee, per AP Information.

With all this in thoughts, a number of followers had been disheartened to see Beyoncé snubbed of award nominations for her nation music but once more — particularly given how profitable Cowboy Carter was.
