Luke Bryan Clarifies His Comments on Beyonce's CMA Awards Snub

Luke Bryan addressed the backlash he faced for his comments about Beyonce's 2024 CMA Awards nominations snub via a social media statement

“I am posting tonight based on the ridiculous nature of the headlines I have read the last couple days from an interview on the Andy Cohen show I did this week when I was promoting my album. Beyoncé’s latest album, Cowboy Carter, was notably left off the nominations list for this year’s CMA Awards, prompting strong reactions from her fans. Prior to Cowboy Carter ’s March release, Beyoncé wrote via Instagram that she was inspired to explore the country genre after “an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed … and it was very clear that I wasn’t.” Fans were quick to connect the comment to her 2016 CMA Awards performance with The Chicks, which sparked negative backlash online and from the show’s attendees.
