The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominations for the 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, and for the first time, Beyoncé’s name was on the list.
The “Love on Top” singer was nominated for her first Daytime Emmy in the outstanding original song category for writing the theme song for her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson’s Facebook Watch series, Talks with Mama Tina.
Over the years, Beyoncé has been nominated for eight Primetime Emmy Awards.
In 2019, her Netflix film Homecoming garnered four Emmy nominations; her HBO visual album Lemonade won two nominations in 2016, her On the Run Tour special in 2015, and her Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show in 2013.
In a show announcement post, Knowles-Lawson thanked Beyoncé and kids Blue Ivy, 10, and 4-year-old twins Sir and Rumi, for singing the introduction of her theme song.
The pleased grandma wrote, “Thank you to my baby @beyonce and my beautiful grandbabies for making this special theme song for the show,” the proud grandmother wrote. “Are you guys ready to watch?”
On Friday, June 24, at 9 p.m. EST, the Daytime Emmy Awards will show live on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
