The internet has been trending with articles about Beyonce not making the list for the Country Music Association award nominations. The final nominations for the 58th CMA awards were announced on September 9, and lots of fans were sad to not come across Beyonce's name among the categories. 

In February, her song "Texas Hold 'Em" was released and immediately started taking over the Billboard Hot 100 song charts. "Texas Hold 'Em" had 19.2 million official streams. Not only was her song blasted all across America, but listeners also saw the single top the U.K. charts. The single also found its way in the number one spot on the Hot Country Song chart. 

Beyonce's album 'Cowboy Carter' had its own list of accolades by earning its top spot on the Billboard Top Country Album chart. She is the first black woman to top the country song chart since it was last achieved in 1964. 

Fellow artist Shaboozey spoke on the matter of Beyonce not earning any award nominations while walking the red carpet at the VMA awards. He stated, "It's definitely unfortunate, if that's something that she was looking to receive and that's something that she worked for, it really sucks..." Shaboozey also expressed, "I say she changed my life and changed the lives of other artists as well, and to me, if I can do that for another artist, or another person in general, I'd be at peace." 

He was also part of the 'Cowboy Carter' album by featuring on 2 tracks, "Spaghettii" and "Sweet Honey Buckiin." Shaboozey is nominated for multiple CMA awards with his hit single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." He is nominated for Single of The Year along with New Artist of The Year. 

The awards show will be broadcasted from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on November 20. Live coverage can he found on ABC network or watched the following day by streaming it from Hulu.
