The Beyhive might be feeling a bit upset since their beloved artist Beyoncé received no nominations for the 2024 Country Music Awards, despite her releasing big hits like Texas Hold Em' from her latest album, Cowboy Carter.


According to the BBC, the Lemonade songstress was not in attendance when the nominees were announced on Monday for the major event. Due to the success of her country album, it was anticipated that she could potentially become the first Black woman to be nominated in the Album of the Year category for the aforementioned album.

However, Morgan Wallen garnered seven nominations, making him the most nominated artist this year. Other artists like Shaboozey, Lainey Wilson, and Chris Stapleton were also shortlisted in various categories. The show is scheduled to air live on November 20, 2024, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. ET on ABC. It will be available for streaming the next day on Hulu.

The event will be held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. If you're unaware of the artists nominated for this year's CMAs, check out the full list of nominees below.
