Last Wednesday night, Country Music Awards celebrated their 50th year and along with their usual lineup of performances is a name that most people did not expect to pop up—Beyoncé.
Queen Bey performed her song “Daddy Lessons” with the Dixie Chicks and it was one great performance that would make you dance (no joke), but guess not everyone was happy about it because there was a ton of tweets that popped up all through the night. And some were not even appropriate for publication.
They all thought Beyoncé did not fit the country music category.
Uncalled for, honestly. And I think they all need to brush up on music history. The Washington Post named artists like Ray Charles and DeFord Bailey—black men who played country music and made history.
There may be haters, but the performance of the Dixie Chicks and Beyoncé was truly awesome and a lot of people still agree.
