Beyonce addresses Album of the Year Grammy loss on 'Cowboy Carter', Internet says 'girl move on'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Beyonce, 42, dropped her much anticipated genre-bending album ‘Cowboy Carter’ on March 29 where she appeared to have addressed her Album of the Year snub at the 2024 Grammys in one of her songs.

In her song, ‘SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIIN’, Beyonce appeared to have sung about the Grammy snub as she admitted boldly that she was not “stung” by the loss.

On Friday, Queen Bey dropped her country-inspired album, where in one song, she hinted at the repercussions of losing the AOTY award. In another song from the album, the 42-year-old songstress recreated Dolly Parton's sensational hit 'Jolene'.

Beyonce sings about losing the AOTY

In her song, the ‘Crazy in Love’ singer sings, "A-O-T-Y, I ain’t win (Let’s go) / I ain’t stung by them / Take that s**t on the chin / Come back and f**k up the pen,” per OK! Magazine.

The ‘Halo’ singer has finally addressed the issue of four AOTY snubs in the Grammy Awards. She received the first AOTY nomination in 2010 for her ‘I Am... Sasha Fierce’, for ‘Beyonce’ in 2015, for ‘Lemonade’ in 2017, and for ‘Renaissance’ in 2023. 

She has, however, lost all four nominations to other stars over the years - to Taylor Swift's ‘Fearless’ (2010), Beck's ‘Morning Phase’ (2015), Adele's ‘25’ (2017) and Harry Styles' ‘Harry's House’ (2023).

The pop diva’s husband, music mogul Jay-Z has even addressed the Grammy snub while accepting the Dr Dre Global Impact Award in the 2024 Grammys.

He slammed the Recording Academy for never awarding the ‘CUFF It’ singer with the AOTY award despite her 32 wins in other categories.

Jay-Z said about his wife, "I don't want to embarrass this young lady but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.”

"So even by your own metrics that doesn't work. Think about that. Most Grammys, never won Album of the Year, that doesn't work,” continued the 54-year-old star, per Complex.
