00:00Luke Bryan is weighing in on how Beyonce was snubbed by the CMA Awards.
00:05The country music star recently sat down for an interview on Andy Cohen's Sirius XM radio show,
00:11where Cohen asked him about his thoughts on Beyonce's lack of CMA nominations for her Cowboy
00:15Carter album. Obviously Beyonce made a country album and Beyonce has a lot of fans out there
00:24that have her back and if she doesn't get something they want, man, they come at you
00:29as fans should do. While the Play It Again singer is quote, all for everybody coming in and making
00:36country albums, he said that doesn't necessarily mean they'll automatically get nominated for their
00:41work. Just because I make one, I don't get any nominations. A lot of great music is somehow
00:49sometimes overlooked. A lot of great music is overlooked. Sometimes you don't get nominated.
00:54Brian then shared a theory on why the Country Music Association voting body may have passed on
00:59the Texas Hold'em singer. He said, everybody loved that Beyonce made a country album. Nobody's mad
01:04about it. But where things get a little tricky, if you're going to make country albums, come into
01:09our world and be country with us a little bit. He went on to say this.
01:12Like Beyonce can do exactly what she wants to. She's probably the biggest star in music. But come to an
01:22awards show and high five us and have fun and get in the family too. And I'm not saying she didn't do
01:28that. I didn't know. I didn't ever see, you know. I understand. Ahead of the release of Cowboy Carter
01:32back in March, Beyonce wrote on Instagram that the album was quote, born out of an experience that I had
01:37years ago where I did not feel welcomed in the country music genre. And it was very clear that
01:42I wasn't. In 2016, Beyonce received hateful comments from some country music fans after
01:47she performed daddy lessons with the chicks at the 50th annual CMA Awards. For more on this story,
