When Beyoncé's country album dropped earlier this year, she said, "This ain’t a country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album."
The pop diva made the distinction clear — that even if "Cowboy Carter" could be confided to a genre, it would still be a Beyoncé album. However, Beyoncé's individuality and genre-hopping skills have not bent the ear of the Country Music Awards. Despite the musician having the biggest country album of the year, she has been completely shut out from nominations for the 58th CMA Awards.
