Luke Bryan Clears the Air After Backlash Over Comments About Beyoncé’s CMA Snub

Luke Bryan is clearing the air after getting some heat for his comments about Beyoncé’s CMA Awards snub.

In a recent conversation with SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen, he suggested that Beyoncé should “come into our world and be country with us a little bit” after her groundbreaking album, Cowboy Carter, received few nominations.

The Beyhive quickly came to her defense, but Luke wasn’t about to let the backlash slide.

On Monday, he took to X to set the record straight.

“I am posting tonight based on the ridiculous nature of the headlines I have read the last couple of days from an interview on the Andy Cohen show I did this week when I was promoting my album,” he explained. “I feel in my heart I could not let media create a false narrative. As I read through the comments, I just want to say that I encourage all of you to listen to the interview instead of reading clickbait headlines. You will hear my tone and intentions, which were not negative. I respect Beyoncé and love how loyal her fans are. I spend a lot of time supporting other artists. I want everyone to win. Love y’all.”

Hey yall, I’m wrapping up the last night of my tour tonight and it’s been an amazing time. For that I am thankful.
