Beyonce insists that her Act II: Cowboy Carter album is not a country music album. So why is she competing in the country music category at the Grammy Awards?
As you know, Beyonce is desperate for the one Grammy award that has eluded her for decades. She has won 32 Grammys, making her the most awarded artist in Grammy history.
She has only one major award win at the Grammys — song of the year for “Single Ladies.” Her awards include 21 Grammys in R&B and three in the rap category.
Cowboy Carter is expected to earn a nomination for album of the year at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in February. But it’s doubtful she will win since she has already said CC is not a country album.
Beyonce was snubbed by the Country Music Awards, where she was not nominated in a single category. Her album and single “Texas Hold ‘Em” also lost in a whopping 17 categories at the People’s Choice Awards.
Via THR — “If Beyoncé — the most decorated artist in Grammy history — earns a best country album nod, it would be her first in the genre and she would become the rare artist who has scored nominations across multiple genres at the Grammys. At the 2017 show, she made history with Lemonade as the first artist to garner nods in the rock, rap, R&B and pop fields in the same year.”
If Beyonce loses the Grammy for album of the year, the loss will likely send her over the edge. The mom-of-three doesn’t handle rejection very well.
