Dolly Parton Defends The CMA Awards Over Beyoncé Snub
September 19, 2024 8:45 amDolly Parton was recently interviewed by “Variety” and she was asked whether Beyoncé was snubbed by the CMA Awards after receiving zero nominations.
“There’s so many wonderful Country artists that, I guess 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. But it was a wonderful album. She can be very, very proud of, and I think everybody in Country music welcomed her and thought [it] was good. 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.”
To be fair, Beyoncé’s famous quote was, “This ain’t a Country album, this is a Beyoncé album,” so, Dolly might be right.
And since Beyoncé hasn’t responded to the “snub” yet, we’re all just guessing what she thinks.
