The country superstar gave his thoughts about Beyoncé being shut out of nominations for her history-making Cowboy Carter album in an interview on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live radio show on Tuesday.
“Obviously Beyoncé made a country album. And Beyoncé has a lot of fans out there that have her back, and if she doesn’t get something they want, man, they come at you … as fans should do.”
But Bryan said, “It’s a tough thing to say” about exactly why Bey received zero CMA nominations for her groundbreaking achievement.
“I mean, listen, I’m all for everybody coming in and making country albums and all that. But just by declaring that, just because she made one…” he said, trailing off.
Bryan added that “a lot of great music’s overlooked,” noting that it comes down to what the Country Music Association’s voting body thinks is worthy. “Sometimes you don’t get nominated. Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody’s mad about it,” said Bryan.
He adds, “But where things get a little tricky … you know, if you’re gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us a little bit. Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants to. She’s probably the biggest star in music,” he said. “But come to an awards show and high-five us and have fun and get in the family too. Country music’s a lot about family.”
