Country music is always changing but there will also always be a core base of country music singers that stand out among the rest. These are more than just the singers that sell the most albums, they have country music in their blood.
Now that Beyoncé has entered into the genre of country music, her fans have loyally followed along. She did well with her country music hit, Texas Hold ’em, but that didn’t help her at the Country Music Awards (CMA).
Despite the fact that she had one of the biggest country music songs of the year, she didn’t receive a single nomination. This caused many of her fans to be up in arms, claiming that she should have received recognition at the awards and looking forward to her being the first black woman to be nominated for Album of the Year.
Her album, Cowboy Carter, was inspired due to the treatment she received at the 2016 CMA. She performed the song Daddy Lessons with The Chicks, and people were critical.
Even though she didn’t receive any awards, her success in the country music genre is unmistakable. She was at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs for 10 weeks consecutively, making it the second longest song of the year to obtain that goal.
In addition, she was the first black woman to be at the top of the charts in country music as a solo artist. Despite all of that, she didn’t receive nominations for any categories at the CMA.
Many of her friends, as well as media outlets, felt that she was being snubbed for her performance in 2016. Many have also said that just because she has a country music album does not mean that she is country.
Beyoncé said: “[The album was] born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed… and it was very clear that I wasn’t”
There were many other factors that caused a stir among her fans as well as others who felt that she was snubbed on purpose at the awards. It’s all water under the bridge now, but it will be interesting to see what happens in 2025.
MACAULAY CULKIN TRAGIC NEWS!
Macaulay Culkin’s path from child star to troubled figure is marked by tragedy. Despite early fame, his family faced financial strain, living in cramped quarters. Culkin’s relationship with his father was marred by mistreatment and control, worsened by a bitter custody battle
He took legal action to protect his wealth amidst fame’s pressures, retiring early due to paparazzi harassment and public scrutiny. His friendship with Michael Jackson brought solace but also controversy amidst abuse allegations.
After spending much of his childhood on movie sets, serving as a cash cow for his parents, teenage Macaulay Culkin had become burned out. He desperately wanted to take some time off. “I just wanted a little bit of a break. I wanted a summer vacation for the first time in, you know, forever,” Culkin told Time.
As he explained while appearing on “Larry King Live,” the pace at which he was working had taken a toll on him. “I did 14 movies in six years, which is more than two a year, and just kind of pumping them out,” he explained. “And I was at this point where I really wanted to take a break … I always joke, ‘Yeah, I retired at 14.’”
After his “retirement,” Culkin began reveling in living the life of a typical teenager, including going to high school at the Professional Children’s School, which caters to child actors and other kids involved in creative careers. Even though he’d stopped making movies and retreated from Hollywood, his fame remained undiminished, something he realized when he dyed his hair crazy colors. “I did purple and I did pink and I did orange, and they made such a big deal out of it — it was on the cover of People!” he told New York Magazine.
Macaulay Culkin’s older sister, Dakota, was hit by a car while walking in Los Angeles. Just a year older than the “Home Alone” star, she died shortly after the accident. Speaking with Esquire more than a decade later, Culkin reflected on the tragic loss. “She passed away 11 years ago tomorrow,” he said. “Tonight,” he added, as in 11 years to the day, “was the last time I talked to her, and she passed away overnight, kinda thing.”
His helthy was to bad in each year
Pray for him
