The CMA Awards are a big night for country music, but not everyone was celebrating Wednesday.
Some stars, like Billy Ray Cyrus, were quick to call out the CMAs for leaving Beyoncé off the nominations list.
Cyrus took to Instagram to express his surprise, saying, “I was surprised to see @beyonce wasn’t nominated??? Her album was brilliant… her single ruled.” He added that Beyoncé didn’t need a trophy from the CMA to prove her greatness.
Previously, other country stars, including Dolly Parton, Kelly Clarkson, and Luke Bryan, showed their support for Beyoncé after fans criticized the snub.
This comes after Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with chart-topping singles like “Texas Hold ’Em” and “II Most Wanted.”
