Luke Bryan thinks there’s a method Beyoncé might have helped herself nab a nomination for the Nation Music Affiliation Awards.
On SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” this week, the “One Margarita” singer shared his idea as to why Queen Bey was snubbed by the nation world.
Whereas Beyoncé’s album “Cowboy Carter” made historical past on Billboard’s nation charts, it didn’t get main airplay on nation radio or earn a single nomination for November’s CMA Awards.
Calling the CMAs controversy a “tough” subject to sort out, Bryan started by telling Cohen that nobody ought to really feel entitled to an honor, regardless of how main a star.
“Just ’cause I make one [album], I don’t get any nominations,” stated Bryan. “A lot of great music is overlooked.”
“Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album,” the “Play It Again” singer advised Cohen. “Nobody’s mad about it.”
However as Bryan went on, he instructed that the “Texas Hold ’Em” famous person might have made extra of an effort to attach with the Nashville music scene.
“But where things get a little tricky… if you’re gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us a little bit,” the “American Idol” choose stated.
“Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants to. She’s probably the biggest star in music,” he continued. “But come to an award show and high-five us. And have fun and get in the family, too.”
Bryan stated he wasn’t making any accusations, simply providing his perspective as a veteran of the business.
“I’m not saying she didn’t do that,” he advised Cohen. “But country music’s a lot about family. We get pissed at each other, too.”
Beyoncé has been greater than frank about how she’s felt excluded by Nashville prior to now.
Earlier than releasing “Cowboy Carter” this March, she advised followers how the album was “born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed… and it was very clear that I wasn’t.”
