Luke Bryan has commented on the polarizing conversation surrounding Beyoncé‘s CMA Awards snub for her chart-topping “Cowboy Carter” album.
Bryan, a co-host of the 2024 CMA Awards, was prompted by Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” to share his thoughts on Beyoncé’s lack of awards at the upcoming ceremony. Her “Cowboy Carter” album and “Texas Hold ‘Em” single made historic strides on the Billboard charts, but had limited success at country radio (“Texas Hold ‘Em” peaked at No. 33 on the country airplay chart).
Bryan said of Beyoncé’s zero nominations, “It’s a tricky question because, obviously, Beyoncé made a country album, and Beyoncé has a lot of fans out there that have her back. If she doesn’t get something they want, man, they come at you — as fans should do.”
