So wrong. Just so wrong. And you could tell she felt the same way... when are they going to stop kissing her ring and give the award to the artist that really put out a country album and deserved it. That album wasn't country.

Your opinion is the result of your narrow-minded, white-washed perception of what country music is - made all the more ironic given that Black people invented country music in the first place.
Just zip it.
Yeah. There was no Boot Scooting. There wasn't a single song on her album about being drunk in a pick up, playing with a pistol with all your rowdy friends, with a girl who is also a cowgirl and a dog that chews tobacco.
So an album titled cowboy carter with Jolene and Texas hold em wasn’t country enough for you? She actuallly included other country artists on the soundtrack and paid tribute to Country artists. Do y’all really think through the things you into print? Just out yourself. She calls herself country
Spend FIVE MINUTES reading about the history of country music. It takes FIVE MINUTES. We're begging you to stop being so goddamn stupid because it's not mystical, hidden wisdom. It's Wikipedia.
So what you're saying is that someone like Beyonce shouldn't have the same opportunities in a different genre of music, maybe we should give the country artists that don't have a leg up in music singer extra help?
No she deserved that. So did Charlie Pride, Jessie Mae Hemphill and the many other black artists. The only thing wrong here is it took until 2025 for the Grammy’s to recognize black country in such a fashion.
Wow, the willingness to white woman all over a Black woman's well-deserved accomplishment is not a flex, Jana. And "kissing her ring"?? WT actual F? Do you actually think you sound smart? Sit down, girl.
You are hilariously historically myopic. You don't understand what "country music" actually is. Typical dismissal of Black contribution to American music, which practically wouldn't exist without Blacks originating almost all of it.
You prefer assimilators not innovators, Shaboozey assimilated to please eurocentric people like you; Beyonce has followed the tradition of country music originators while honoring them - study her lyrics & look at her videos to understand the art of country.
Or even better. It's a Black Woman artist I can't stand achieving or even daring to exist in a genre I've decided I'm the gatekeeper for, because that Uppity N---oops that's where you were going with it, wasn't it Jana?
I wasn't looking at her color. I was listen to country. Seriously listen to country. That wasn't country. Beyonce is talented but her music is pop, not country.
I *LOVE* country music & thought Cowboy Carter was fresh af—absolutely country. This is such an awful take & I can believe you’d say it in public. She deserved that Grammy & was only surprised because they have shafted her so often in the past.
Yep. Claim it's white privilege.... but I would have been clapping for shaboozey who deserved to win it. Even she looked stunned and upset cause she knew it shouldn't have been her.
You do know that American country music wouldn’t exist without Black musical traditions, right? And that every track of Cowboy Carter threads those traditions throughout, right? I’m not a huge Bey fan, but that album is BRILLIANT. Bless your heart.
Lady, I don't even like Beyonce, and I also don't care much for country music, and even *I* know you're 180 degrees off, kay? Kay. You can throw another K on there if it makes you feel more comfortable. We know that's who you're really promoting with this kind of garbage post.

That's nonsense.
She was amazed because the white country music industry has blocked her from everything.
Because she a Black woman & "shouldn't be in country."
RACIST.
LIKE YOU.
I suggest you do your research on the Origin of Country music
Okay, MAGA Jana.
Hope you enjoy those Trump taxes you voted for.
Did you listen to the album????
It very much is!
We knew the white outrage would commence, but insulting her singing is low.
Or even better. It's a Black Woman artist I can't stand achieving or even daring to exist in a genre I've decided I'm the gatekeeper for, because that Uppity N---oops that's where you were going with it, wasn't it Jana?
taylor swift and morgan wallen, now THAT'S country!
🙄
Not looking at her color ignores that she’s a Black woman from Texas, and that you are ignorant about Black Southern music and culture.
We hear you and see you.
You think that makes up for what you said about Beyonce?
Christ, are you ever dumb.
How can anyone be that stupid?
It’s a great album, but the best thing about it is how angry it makes racists.
And the conspiracy theories…yikes. It’s just an award.
