Beyonce gave the 2016 CMA Awards a titillating taste of ‘Lemonade’ tonight.
Joined by the Dixie Chicks, music’s reigning queen performed ‘Daddy Lessons’ at the Nashville extravaganza.
Announced with just hours to go before the show, the short notice only served to fuel excitement. Indeed much of the social media commentary centered on when exactly Mrs Carter would hit the stage.
How did the quad fare? What are you waiting for? Find out below!
Incredible.
Bey has scaled back the vocal theatrics in recent years, but it’s always welcome when she decides to show em off. And she did exactly that tonight.
Now boycott that racist muthafukkers
They are pressed! SHE SLAYEDDD .. u can tell she was holdin back but she did that! My King! U know u the s*** when u start all this conversation!
She has the tendency to over do everything so I’m glad she scaled it back. She did a good job and I surprisenly enjoyed. I just wish she dressed appropriately. Also it’s refreshing to see her sing live for a change.
RACIST. they used the “police drama” as the baseline for pure RACIAL HATE. What they really wanted to say was, “we don’t want this BLACK woman on our stage”. Dear White People, just be honest, you DIDN’T WANT A BLACK WOMAN ON THE CMA STAGE.
Boring and forgettable. No one cared enough to “boycott”
Girl, your whole life will be forgotten. All you have to do is finally take that jump. Azzhole.
Should’ve sung LANDSLIDE instead of that mess
Slayed in front of the whities. Queen ish.
They are having meltdowns again, The Dixie Chicks will be facing another BACKLASH in 5,4,3,2,1
Whities? Are you serious..?
@daclassyman You must be new here
She received a standing ovation so the haters can still be mad… We over it !!
Again, she really did that !! My fave is excellent. *applause*
“standing ovation” … it was More like “Am Queen y’all better stand up till am done” lol
dhcjsms not Bey AND the Dixie Chicks. White America basically wanted to lynch them last decade for dragging Bush. These rednecks were fuming so hard on Twitter. Imagine their meltdowns when Trump loses next week ⚰️
Great performance, as expected. They slayed. But I am not tolerating some of this Dixie Chicks slander on social media right now.
Wow amazing…the f****** slayed. She just released the official version on soundcloud..https://soundcloud.com/beyonce/daddy-lessons-featuring-the-dixie-chicks/s-ZtVzM
She slayed as she always does on stage. Her and the Dixie Chicks go so well together. A collaboration I never knew I needed in my life until I heard it.
Side Note: The racists must have been SEETHING!! Lmao…stay mad
Absolutely. I love the Dixie Chicks. Landslide used to be my shyt.
F*CK IT UP BEY
It was alright. I could’ve done without the Dixie Chicks TBH.
I agree HOWEVER, The Dixie Chicks have been performing “Daddy Lessons” on their current tour. So I’m guessing that is where the idea came from but I enjoyed seeing them perform together!
Meanwhile the Dixie Chicks are asking who Ciara is ?
Yes our queen Bey slay as always I ran home so fast to watch her long love our bey their is no one like her God continue to bless protect her and her family for life thanks Sam for posting
You’re right love, Bey truly is one of a kind!
Yassss that was amazing Beyonce looked so good the Dixie chicks did well too.
The cma needed Beyonce child their rating have been down for years.
Go bey.
I’m was here for it.
Showing all them black girl curves.
Another day, another slay. Get it!
Nice!
The performance was so good..love Bey raw vocals my god…
This Miley Cyrus look alike sounded a mess ….
–
–
My girl Bey put a white hair wig on…she really has that white appeal tonight.
–
–
Rihanna who is black performed there first in 2011 but it was not an issue why with Beyonce it is…not because she’s black but because of the formation controversy…it’s hurted in way her brand.
–
–
As much it was good to watch as much it was a little embarassing because the white crowd was not into it..so sad
They didn’t want Beyonce to perform because according to them, she’s a “police hater.”
There was really nothing to get it to. Be honest here the s*** was boring and there is nothing special about bey vocals!
Don’t play with these girls BEY! She will forever Slay and remain the Iconic/Lengendary showstopper of this generation! The lessors can remain forever pressed! ??
It was so awkward cuz you could tell most of those white folks did not want to stand up. And the camera guy looked like he received orders to not show too much Beyoncé. Anyway the song is wack.
U still remain mad as f***..FAITH HILL AND TIM MCGRAW WERE SINGING ALONG, MATHEW AND HIS WIFE WERE DANCING ALONG…THE PERFORMANCE WAS AWESOME AND UR FAVE COULD NEVER.
Yeah i noticed it too it’s like each time she started to dance they cut it pissed me off.
But darl the song is certainely not wack
Excellent performance.
Her runs were extremely sloppy, I was not feeling her vocals. But they seemed to all be enjoying themselves up there so that counts for something. Just not as exciting as it sounded on paper.
Your speaking voice sound sloppy… hush!
I love Beyoncé but her runs were sloppy, just like they were at the gospel awards during “say yes”. Any who sings or with an ear that’s not a delusional stan would say the same. Read, intake my opinion and carry on. Don’t have a meltdown, please. She’s not lying yes or my bills
Not paying yours or my bills****
Ima let you finish but ill just say Bey has NO PROBLEM with doing a run. She just doesn’t do the perfection thing anymore. She’s clearly into RAW sounding vocals. Its a country song not a jazz song. Its more about the feeling than the vocal performance. Side note have you heard 1+1 or all of 4? She sings like that because she wants to. Yall gone be sick once she does drop that Jazz album lol
I prefer the original version of the song. Also the Dixie Chicks version (without Bey) is equally great. But the two together don’t sound as right.
However that performance was TURNNTTTT !! Whaaaaaaat
It was soooooo short though, I was waiting for Bey to do her little dance break routine just does during this song. I also thought the Dixie Chicks would do a full song but it was a breathe of fresh air when they came out!
Not the time or place for that. What she did was enough if you ask me. Also her outfit was way to risqué for a conservative event.
Bítch you stan for Frih.
I love seeing white people mad
I’m still shocked at all the bad comments those whites peoples posted on twitter and facebook about that perf…. like how can you be that disgusting about someone that want to fight against injustice
I really like the fact that she is bringing many songs of the album to life during award shows and not only singles. She really had a great body of work.
Stunning performance
They all did their thing. Beyoncé made those white folks stand up and clap.
I did not like some of the comments that I read on Twitter
either, I was wondering I why were going to boycott.
Beyonce show that sh does not have to be doing butty
poping to slay a stage.She even step to back to let
the Dixie chicks take center stage. I am glad that
she promoted the state of Texas like she did.
I remember rednecks hated DC for bashing Bush. It shows that those people were and still are @ss backwards.
Wig flew and now I am bald
Gawddamn give a gurl ur number!!!!! Just fine as you want to be!
Once again, not me
Well damn who is it then?
I found him, the models name is Eduardo Ruiz
LMFAOOOOOO All those seething assholes and troll accounts in the other post are ON MUTE!!! They were quick to run into that post about the Twitter hate but completely absent for this one! ?
.
Once again the Boycott Beyonce crap fails!!! Her haters were convinced she’d get booed but instead got a standing ovation and was welcome with open arms LMFAOOOO!!!!
She looked and sounded amazing. That stand ovation was well deserved. Good job Bey!!!!
This song is garbage pure garbage
The Trump supporters finally met a fairly decent vocalist, who finally sang with the mic on (rare occasion), from their usual one octave wannabe be failing at base favs
‘FAIRLY DECENT VOCALIST’…..AND U STAN RIHANNA??? I BET U THINK FRIH IS A MASTERFUL VOCALIST..LMAO. BEY CAN WITH HER VOICE THING FRIHANNA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO IN HER LIFETIME. STAY IN UR LANE…
Where in my comment did I talk about Rihanna?
? Must be hate on the brain. The reason they keep cursing her name. ?
LOL They can’t stay on topic. Dispute the points I have brought up, they can’t, so they deflect. They are like Trump supporters.
What points did you make ? Lol Beyonce is an EXCEPTIONAL vocalist not a fairly decent one. Rihanna would be what you’d consider fairly decent, if that…
My point is the country music fans finally met someone that can fairly sing in comparison to their tin can noise one octave artists they are used to, save for Carrie Underwood.
‘
You’re just mad about my assessment of Beyonce’s fairly decent vocal ability. Given my superior and in depth music taste (compared to yours) and superior industry knowledge (you don’t even compare), I think my assessment is justified, which wasn’t my original point anyway.
‘
If you did not get the point form my original comment, you need to re-assess your critical thinking abilities.
If you were really musically inclined you’d know better than to call a vocalist with a 4 octave range “fairly decent.” Then again, you stan for Rihanna. So its to be expected seeing as how she can’t hit anything beyond a c note. Now that’s what you’d call fairly decent. I ain’t sorry!
4 octave range? You are very generous, but then again you’re not an authority on anything related to music as you have proven time and again how inept you are.
Yes, 4 OCTAVES. Beyonce is a colortura ya big dummy. She uses runs and riffs and amazing dramas with ease. Shows how much you know.
Runs and Riffs =/= a good vocalist LOL, your understanding of music is so basic.
Can Rihanna execute rifts and runs beautifully though? Lol You probably don’t even what a coloratura is. Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re use to Rihanna Stan.
U fool….u called beyonce ‘a fairly decent vocalist’….so i’m guessing u think and believe the person u stan for is better?? LMAO
Once again, where in my comment did I talk about my fav?
Smh, they’re so sad.
It’s not like 4 years ago, Country is flopping big time and the Trump supporters are as dumb as the hive to know what a Spotify premium account looks like. Country is the new Rock, Rock n Roll, Alternative Rock, [insert adjective] rock, flop genre.
‘
Hip Hop is still standing strong and Spotify is helping RnB regain its status, go millennials.
Aye! She did that! She came and showed out! That was really fun!!!
For someone who claims not to visit this site and have left, he sure is seething up and down this post crying for some attention LMFAO!
Okay ladies now lets get InFORMATION
Prove to me you got some coordination
slay trick or you’ll get eLEMONADED
I like it a lot but I wish she was dress down to give them country some dancing that would been fun like on the formation tour a little fringes sequins outfit I would have saved this dress for something else but I love her anyways
Nah, those country bumpkins needed to hear what vocals sound like, a “vocalist” is a unicorn in that genre.
‘
I’m just impressed she switched her mic on, that is a very rare occasion.
Yeah this the 1st time in a long time her mic was actually on. She did a god job.
This performance was awesome.. And that dress and hair is a top notch however there is something about the camera man not wanting to show much of her dance or something… It was a great performance anyway
Her having received a “standing ovation” does not negate the fact that she is still, at large, being attacked at all angles by portions of the conservative media and the country community on social media as we speak. Let us not be so naive – of course the ‘celebrities’ in the audience were going to shown their appreciation regardless of the politics surrounding the performance. Irrespective of their true opinion, they are still a part of a very much liberalised music industry and any form of denouncement in this regard could negatively affect the commercial aspect of their careers.
.
Rihanna received the exact same level of backlash in 2011 when she performed there, I remember vividly and it was just as frustrating to witness then also.
.
Surprisingly, though most definitely expected, when White mainstream acts have performed there in the past (ie. Justin Timberlake, Meghan Trainor, Selena Gomez) the reactions were not/have notnearly been as imposing and nobody seemed to care.
I remember when rihanna performed at the CMAS. Shes such an inspiration to her peers.
Nobody remembers that performance.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
@iStan
‘
I’d feel bad, but the hive have said much worse about other girls in the industry, so nope. Any sympathy from me would be crocodile tears. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The most amazing aspect of it was the fact that the mic was on, very rare that happens on a Bey performance past B’Day era.
SO u want to sit there and tell me that not once did beyonce sing live during the formation tour?? DO U REALLY BELIEVE THAT, I KNOW U HATE BEYONCE WITH A PASSION AND DON’T WISH HER WELL..BUT ARE U KIDDING ME??
Well I don’t know, I didn’t watch that rinse, repeat, recycle tour.
@lb
right because the AUNTI tour is so much more entertaining *ROLLS EYES*
It is because it is something new, and it was live with a switched on mic.
What was so new about it? Rihanna did the same p**** pat and stupid finger guns. Plus, her mumbly voice sounded like an AM radio dial searching for a signal per usual
So you say, anyway Rihanna has nothing to do with my original comment, stay on topic.
She does though. You constantly call Beyonce’s performances repetitive YET Rihanna has brought nothing new to the table. She still can’t sing, she still cant dance, she still cant perform. The Formation tour is the highest grossing tour this year. So evidently Beyonce is doing something right. Your fave… not so much.
And what exactly does that have to do about my original comment? I’ll wait…
You wanna call Beyonce repetitive! When in reality the person who you support the most is REPETITIVE
Once again, what does that have to do with my original comment? Still waiting…
You lied when you called the AUNTI tour new. There’s nothing new about it. Looks like a continuation of the Cubic Zirconium your. Bad singing, bad dancing, cute costumes, etc etc
Who is talking about the Anti world tour? Where in my original comment did I talk about AWT? Using the Trump deflection tactics, you must be a regular at his rallies.
YOU said that the AUNTI tour was new but based off of the vocals and choreo, or lack there of, it is not
I said it was new, never mentioned my metric for determining that. Secondly, Anti has nothing to do with my comment, so you’re deflecting once again, mostly because you cannot dispute what I said with counter arguments.
I’m deflecting by pointing out a lie that YOU chose to say? Mmmkay.
A deflection is still a deflection. You have been unable to argue my comment with counter arguments, so you deflected.
‘
It is a textbook tactic utilized by people on the losing side of the argument.
The devil is a LIAR
So u made an assessment that bey’s mic is rarely on, without even going to the formation tour or seeing videos of it…SO UR JUDGEMENT WAS OUT OF HATRED AND NOT BASED ON FACTS…INTERESTING!!!!
ALSO…TYLER IS RIGHT, BEING THAT I HAVE SEEN THE CANTI TOUR ONLINE, FRIH DID THE SAME ENTIRE ROUTINE FROM THE DIAMOND WORLD TOUR…..WHEREBY ‘VIGOROUS SELF VAGINAL EXAMINATION RULES THE DAY’ WITH ABSOLUTE HORRIBLE GOAT LIKE VOCALS.
All her performances, save for this one, where she has performed at an award show live has been with a mic that is not on. And you revealed that her mic is rarely on with this part of your comment, SO u want to sit there and tell me that not once did beyonce sing live during the formation tour, which is you agreeing with me that Beyonce did not always sing with the mic on. Your comment supports my assessment.
No it does not..u insinuated that her mic is never on. SO I AKSED U A SIMPLE QUESTION…WHICH IS WHETHER U THINK SHE NEVER SANG LIVE DURING THE TOUR, BUT I SEE U ARE TRYING TO DEFLECT. Yes beyonce does lip sync, but during tour its mainly during choreography i.e formation, mine medley,. I A NOT DELUSIONAL, SHE DOES LIP SYNC. BUT U SAID SHE RARELY SINGS LIVE, WHEN I COUDL EASILY POST THE LINK OF ALL THE ME MYSELF AND I PERFORMANCES ON THE FORMATION (A DIFFICULT TO SING BUY THE WAY)AND SEVERAL OTHER PERFORMANCES WHERE SHE IS CLEARLY SINGING..(LOVE ON TOP). HENCE, MY COMMENT DOES SUPPORT ANYTHING U SAID, U SAID ‘RARELY’…AND I CHALLENGED THAT.
So one performance proves she sings live? From what you say, she lips during choreographed performances correct? What percentage of Formation tour or whatever is choreographed vs not? Give me a rough estimate.
Go watch it on youtube urself before making a baseless assumption. The entire tour is on youtube, maybe when u see it then can u use the word…’RARELY’. Those were just examples of her singing her heart out, there are many more but i won’t entertain ur hatred for this woman tonight.
If you watched it, you wouldn’t have a problem giving me a rough estimate, so even you didn’t watch it. So how then can you back up what you’re saying?
Remember when they used to say Country Music was the only genre that sold well. Funny.
It used to sell very well, now it is dead, don’t know why. Those Trump supporters are pretty loyal to their favs.
It still does tho…but only in the usa.
Its actually the best selling genre in the U.S.
@Mark111
‘
Anyway, Mr 7 Diamond albums, Garth brooks, of which his largest is 17x platinum will release in November, I’m willing to bet that s*** will flop harder than Selena Gomez posing naked on an album cover.
Are u kidding me..country music fans actually still buy albums. They don’t stream a smuch but the buy physical cd’s. Garth could even debut at no 1…he won’t flop.
I need to see receipts, I’m not speaking from hot air, I actually read a report on this.
We have to wait and see..BUT GARTH WON’T FLOP, HE IS LIKE THE BARBRA STREISAND VERSION OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
He is going to flop
Wow, King Bey indeed!
And her body is EVERYTHING!!!
Kenny Chesney gave Beyonce the -Why are you here look?
COUNTRY REDNECK SHADE
His ugly ass should have kept that.
I bet redneck ass Betty-Ann with the mullet learned not to ever come for Queen Bey again! Bish tried to run boycott game online only to get scalped with this epic slayage of a performance. Every last one of them split-end edges dropped to the floor. Love it when bigots lose…Hahaha!! But on the real, this was one of Bey’s top performances this year. Aced up!
You better speak that truth, with your fine self!
Thanks boo
Looked good. Sounded good. She slayeddddd those racists.

Its actually the best selling genre in the U.S.
‘
Wrong, the best selling genre in the US is Rock music, but this is because of catalogs from big acts like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, etc; RnB/Hip Hop music comes second, but with streaming now being factored in, it will gain a bigger share. What comes in third is Pop music, Country is 4th, but with streaming taking over, they are having a difficult time leveraging this infrastructure.
Are u sure… i always thought it was country tho. THEY SELL A LOT OF PURE ALBUMS.
Official stats from Neilsen. Country has never been a best selling genre.
*claps hands*
That was fantastic! I was clapping right along with my TV
Anyway, going to bed, Good night
Thank you for the Public Service Announcement. We all really needed to know that.
How are you still typing when LB just put you to rest with facts? Amazing.
Lens Crafters is having a sale on eyewear
Thank you for the Public Service Announcement. We all really needed to know that.
Bye! Go sit your goofy ass down somewhere Uncle Ruckus. Your input is NOT needed .
Great performance. But tell me this, Beyonce body is on “damm” wow is she gaining weight? I hate to say this but maybe she is pregnant again, her body is like wow her curves is off he hook. Yes Jay Z you better start calamine your dime piece
Meh the way hatebird walks around like he’s music industry’s Messiah though
.
I’ll be yanking that cheap frozen Canadian wig which is as cold as your unemployment sinlge broke heart nex time we come across these comments sections
???? Omg!
Beyonce is strong. She didn’t let those white racist get to her. She is the biggest star out of the females. These dumb ass country people need to grow up. It is 2016 become diverse. They going to make sure they at the polls to vote Trump. Racist af.
She was more concerned about showing her body to the audience than into the performance IMO, the celebrities were into her, but the men (real musicians) were like “let’s see what this Pop Star is going to do”, without the chicks she would have had a hard time with the audience, they actually were more nice because of them, the chicks saved her. Beyoncé is talented but I’m still don’t get the whole Beyoncé thing.
Weren’t you one of the fools who were trying to boycott Beyonce from performing at the CMA’ s tonite ?
Couldn’t agree more @S******!
Lol…the chicks are probably the most problematic country artist in the history of country music. Did u think maybe the FEW of people there were also unhappy about the chicks being there, due to their public stance against GERRGE BUSH AND THE IRAQ WAR. Yes, they were into her because most of them just went to her SOLD OUT show at the NISSAN STADIUM………She clearly had fans in the audience. She would not have performed alone, just like Justin Timberlake did not perform alone as he did with Chris Stapleton. There is no need for you to downplay what she did and just say she wanted to show off her body, STOP HATING FOR ONCE IN UR MISERABLE LIFE. U stan WHITE DEVILS like MADONNA, who can’t sing even if her life depended on it….Someone who depends on STAGE PRODUCTIONS to put on a show for her and not the other way round…PLS, LEAVE BEY ALONE AND CARRY ON WITH SECRETARIAL DUTIES AT THE KU KLUX KLAN meeting
Read his pathetic racist ass down,..I can’t stand his wet punk ass. BTW they also hate the Dixie Chick’s because they went in on Trumps racist ass as well,..with that said, I love those girls.
I genuinely don’t know why you keep coming back to this site and what do you have against Beyoncé and other artists, always criticizing them.
Heaven to Betsy! Honey Bee and Dixie Chicks sure went to town on ‘Daddy Lessons’! Bey was fixin’ to give ’em a good ‘ole hoedown on those CMAS! Well I’ll be…
They did a nice job
Beyoncé slayed . She looks good to!!!!
Rose McGowan, Reese Witherspoon, Brad, Zara praised her performance. And the Dixie member proud to perform with her. Boycott my ass!
Loved it!!! She should send both versions to radio immediately (the one feat. Dixie Chicks to country radio of course).
Bey I love ya but what the heck you got on lol..
You don’t even like Beyonce. Stop acting like a fake ass b****.
nuff respect.
How to be on someone d***: 1. The taste of it slay. 2. It was a little salty but it slayed 3. The caramel texture showed that it slayed. 4. I have a slay moment when it comes to the d***. 5. Slay is a form of worship when you’re on the nutz. 5. We slay on the d*** that’s how we ride. 6. We stress the hate on not riding a person d*** who slay. 6. Anytime a person slay we win that d*** moment like we riding. You people are s!ck, need to get a life. F** wh!te people, we don’t need nobody to help give acceptance to rac!st wh!te people. All it did was p!ssed them off around election time. Like 9/ 11 it going to come back in our backs, but continue to d*** slay. Congratulations!!!
Bey and her fans are cerified loons
Overhyping nonsense
It was a great performance, just feel good cowboy music. LOL
I could tell they turned down Bey’s mic because I could hardly hear especially during her runs and libs, the only thing I was confused by was the arms of beys dress. She should have went sleeveless.
