Beyoncé cut out of 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards

Although the album of the year and the best country album for recording Cowboy Carter At the 2025 Grammys, Beyoncé was sniffed out by a Country Music Awards program.

The nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards 2025 were presented on Thursday, and Beyoncé’s name was particularly deleted by the list. However, this is not the first time, since the cultural icon was also cut off by the CMA Awards 2024 last year.

Beyoncés Chart-Toping Cowboy Carter Was one of the largest country albums from 2024, and their Grammy victories were proof. While she was the most announced Grammy artist in history before this past Grammy season, she was excluded from the victories for the Major Grammy categories for a long time until she finally won the album of the year in the 2025 ceremony in February. She was also the first black woman for whom the best country album Grammy won Cowboy Carter.

Some of their country songs from the album also achieved Grammy nominations, including “Texas Hold ‘Em”, “Levii’s Jeans” (with Post Malone), “16 Laides” and “II Most Wanted” (with Miley Cyrus), the latter also won the best country duo/group performance.

As for the ACM Awards, the album of the Year nominated Megan Moroney’s belonged Am I okay?

This year’s candidates for the artist of the year were Moroney, Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Ella Langley and Kacey Musgraves.

Damon Whiteside, CEO from ACM Advertising board on Thursday. “Are we waiting for it to be nominated? Absolutely,” said Whiteside of publication. “We love that Beyoncé is in the country genre.”

Whiteside said Beyoncé “had an open invitation to be on the ACM stage at any time.

Some observers have previously tried to justify Beyoncé’s lack of nominations in Country Music Awards programs for their not frequent artist in the room, since their discography in the past was mainly pop and R&B albums. The same applies to Malone, which received several nominations for both the CMA Awards and the ACM Awards for his Country debut F-1 trillions.

Last year Luke Bryan burdened the discourse on Beyoncé’s lack of CMA Award nominations, which indicates that Beyoncé did not get a nod because she hadn’t got enough of the wider Country music industry.

“Everyone loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody is crazy about it,” said Bryan at the time. “But where things get a little difficult what they make country albums, come to our world and be a bit with us. Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants. She is probably the biggest star in music.

Bryan later made it clear that he never had “negative” intentions with his comments. “I respect Beyonce and I love how loyal their fans are. I spend a lot of time to support other artists. I want everyone to win. I love you,” he said.

Kelly Clarkson also shared her confusion about Beyoncés CMA Awards Snub. “I find it somehow fascinating,” she said in an interview with NBC10 Boston Last year “Because I have the feeling that these songs were everywhere.”

Before publication Cowboy CarterBeyoncé explained that the album was in production for more than five years and did not feel “welcome” in the Country Music room after he was able to join the genre years ago.

“It was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “Because of this experience, however, I made a deeper immersion in the history of country music and studied our kingdom of musical archive. It feels good to see how music combine so many people around the world and at the same time strengthen the voices of some of the people who have trained so much of their life about our music history.”

Beyoncé continued: “This genre forced me to cross the borders that have been added to me. Act II is a result of the challenge and the time to bend and mix genres to create this work.”
