For the first time, Beyoncé found herself nominated in the Country & American Roots field, a notable step forward for her as an artist crossing genres.

Seven songs from Cowboy Carter were nominated across multiple genres, underlining her versatility.

Despite the success of Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé was snubbed at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards, where she received no nominations, despite being a frontrunner at the People’s Choice Country Awards.

She also made headlines in December when she won the Top Country Female Artist award at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, marking her first country music win.

Beyoncé’s historic Grammy victory not only cements her place in music history but also highlights the ongoing evolution of country music’s boundaries and recognition of diverse talent.
