Fans are clueless after Beyonce gets zero nominations for 2024 CMA Awards 

Netizens ridiculed the Country Music Association Awards for not picking Beyonce in any of the categories for the upcoming annual awards. The pop queen launched her first country genre album with much commercial success.

One user shared on X, "Crazy, well at least she gave the world an introduction to Shaboozey, hope he wins it for Bey."

"Dionne Warwick is right, it is absolutely ridiculous that Beyonce didn't get one nomination," the second agreed.

Another joined in, "CMA failed to recognise the value of Cowboy Carter, But Beyonce will come out stronger again.😅."

"Looks like the CMA voters need to take a crash course in what makes a song a hit. Maybe they thought 'Cowboy Carter' was just Beyonce's attempt at a new fashion line," one joked. 

A person shared, "It was a bad album. Only 1 single was a hit but the overall album just wasn’t that great."

"Theyre mad beyonce was gonna sweep the awards effortlessly," one user chimed.

"Its very deserving. Those who know what his husband do behind closed doors are working and yes bey needs to make a better country album not just a noisy album," another opined.
