Beyoncé continues to be snubbed in the country world’s award season, coming out empty handed at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards – despite receiving the second highest number of nominations this year.
Ahead of the event, which went down on Thursday (September 26), Bey was up for a staggering 17 nominations for her chart-topping Cowboy Carter album.
All winners at the People’s Country Music Awards — a self-proclaimed “award show for the people and by the people” — were decided by fan votes during a pretty tight voting period, which started on August 13 and ended August 23.
But despite the impressive amount of nods, she walked away 0 for 17. She was, however, mentioned by Cowboy Carter-featured artist Shaboozey during his acceptance speech, who thanked the superstar singer for “being amazing.”
Cowboy Carter has been a major success since its release in March. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 tally with 407,000 equivalent album units in its first week, making for the biggest sales week of 2024 at the time – though it has since been one-upped by Taylor Swift’s latest effort.
Twenty three of the album’s 27 songs also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, bringing the Houston native’s career total Billboard Hot 100 songs to 106. She is now just the 17th artist and only the third woman to score over 100 entries since the Hot 100 was launched in 1958.
But despite this, Beyoncé was also snubbed for the 2024 Country Music Awards – receiving zero nominations.
While her father blamed it on her race, Dolly Parton offered up her own opinion in a conversation with Variety earlier this month.
“There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that,” Parton said.
“But I didn’t even realize [Beyoncé wasn’t nominated] until somebody asked me that question. But it was a wonderful album. She can be very, very proud of, and I think everybody in country music welcomed her and thought that, that was good.”
The legendary Country star went on: “So I don’t think it was a matter of shutting out, like doing that on purpose. I think it was just more of what the country charts and the country artists were doing, that do that all the time, not just a specialty album.”
Bey covered Parton’s smash single “Jolene” on Cowboy Carter, with Dolly later saying she’d be open to doing a duet of it.
For her part, Bey has not yet commented on the snubs.
Good! Bitch goes cowboy for a season and the world expects her to get every country award? FOH bitch and stick to the comfy thot theme that made your fat ass a billionaire💥💨👈
She’s not being snubbed. She did one album and now she’s just expected to win every award known to man for it? Fuck off. Coloured people just can’t lose without it being racially charged. Coloured people are the most racist.
Never met someone who wasn’t racist that used “colored” to describe another race. You could’ve easily used the word ethnic. Also white is a color you fucking dipshit. You can make a point without sounding like an insecure racist, you goddamn retard.
@hmm do you prefer “people of color”? Jokes aside, I find it hilarious how colored people is racist, but “people of color” is the new woke and widely accepted term. Doesn’t really make sense lol.
@Darryl Man, if you and Lol don’t take y’all pig skinned, wet dog smelling, Queen’s English spelling asses somewhere. 😂
@Gay Lord you make a comment like that, yet you will be the first person to cry about racism… Clown
That’s funny because in South Africa every single black person calls refugees of Zimbabwe “coloreds”.
That’s what you get for doing white music better than white musicians. Stay in your lane.
what? the album is pandered trash. when was the last great beyonce album.
Fucc Beyonce.
No, Ypu guys misunderstood. She had top songs on the chart. Which makes it difficult not to get nominated
Whatever makes her cult cry, I’m here for it.
Its sad the inbred racist white community hasn’t given B her flowers for taking a stab at bringing the Country genre with its all its quirks closer to pop culture. At the same, it is gratifying to know that this is one part of the industry her, her husband and their band sociopath bootlickers can’t rig like the Grammy’s.
It’s amazing that you’ve turned this about race. Black people are free to kick out any white rapper out of the hip-hop genre but if Beyoncé ain’t integrated into country music then it’s racist. Lol. Didn’t Snoop want to be a reggae artist? White supremacists kicked him out of that too, right? Bozo.
Besides Macklemore, what white rapper have black people disowned? They like Eminem, malon craft, logic, Mac miller, hell even lil dicky. You know you’re equally as sad as you are stupid af right?

“Snubbed”. The FANS literally voted. It’s not a snub. Her album is made for Beyonce fans, not country fans. If you are looking for solid country music, Cowboy Carter isn’t gonna be on your list.
It’s not a coincidence. It’s bad old fashioned racism.
“Ohhh no, Beyonce win country awards for her first attempt at emulating a genre she isn’t good at, racissssssssss!”. Victim mentality. If it was a stellar country album, maybe. You act like there haven’t been tons of black country artists who have won awards. You just think she should win… because spoiler, you’re racist, and think since she’s black she should win.
@Gem Lord, so, in theory, shouldn’t all nations/continents be brought back to how it once was? One race, one culture? It seems ppl who hate racism insist on mixed societies. I think more homogenous societies work better, since the culture is more widely shared VS today’s nations full of a hundred plus different cultures that clash. Should we ALL together push for separation? Or are you against that?
So glad Beyonce wasn’t nominated….
These aren’t snubs, these are called losses. She was nominated 17 times.
These aren’t snubs, these are called losses. She was nominated 17 times. Stop framing it like The Carters don’t take losses. They have been taking losses musically for a while now.
Its not a snub if the music isnt good enough.
Note to blacks, stop letting white ppl in to black music, kick their ass out from freak ass Em to Justin, and the rest of them that want to do black music
@what people can’t control music these days, as nobody needs a record label to get it to stores and places to consume media. Also, if you’re talking music industry, it is owned by j3ws, not black people, including the largest hiphop based labels.
Sticking feathers up your a$$ doesn’t make you a chicken you overrated, entitled brat. And of course your dad would cry racism, his poor daughter just can’t ever catch a break in life due to her skin color as she boards another yacht or gets out of one of her 62 cars.
So suddenly black folks care about country music….. All because 1 black pop artist makes dorky poppy country music they want to be catapulted to the top of the genre, leaving everybody else in the dust. Just because she’s beyonce. effing clowns…. Beyonce does not make country music. She rips off onther genres and she craps out generic POP MUSIC for PATHETIC LOSERS WITHOUT 1 MUSICAL BONE IN THEIR BODY. Next year she makes a dorky reggae album and she wants to be reggae artist of the year too or what????? Stop your moaning you sound exactly the same as all those crybaby maga losers.
