Beyoncé did not get a Country Music Association award nomination when the nominees for the 58th edition were announced on Monday, despite the fact that her Cowboy Carter album was a worldwide triumph upon its debut this year.
Cowboy Carter's exclusion from the nomination list was notable considering that Texas Hold 'Em, her vast album's first single, soared to the top of the US charts, including the country list, and the album was widely viewed as a success.
Cowboy Carter is Beyoncé's ode to her southern US roots, a rollicking revue that also serves as a vital historical lesson on the Black lineage of country music.
She takes listeners on a journey through the evolution of country music, from African American spirituals and fiddle tunes to pioneering women.
The awards event will be held on November 20.
Morgan Wallen, the controversial country-pop singer who has had massive streaming success, received the most nominations, seven, including the prestigious Entertainer of the Year title.
Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson received five nominations each.

Lainey Wilson and Post Malone, who switched from rock-rap to country this year, both scored four. His song I Had Some Help features Wallen, and its nominations propelled the singer to the front of the pack.
Beyoncé is no stranger to the CMA controversy. She notably received racist comments after performing her most country song to date, Daddy Lessons, at the 2016 CMA Awards.
Beyoncé, a Texan raised by a mother from Louisiana and a father from Alabama, tackled the perceived "controversy" around her Country turn this year with the song American Requiem.
"They used to say I spoke, 'too country' / Then the rejection came, said I wasn't, 'country enough' / Said I wouldn't saddle up, but if that ain't country, tell me what is?" Beyoncé says on the tune, which includes musical allusions to Buffalo Springfield's classic For What It's Worth.
