Beyonce made Grammy history on Tuesday. Indeed, not only is she leading the pack with 9 nominations, she veered into Michael Jackson territory with the noms secured.
See, not since MJ has an act scored honors in such a vast array of categories.
Queen Bey is up for all of the main awards (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year); she’s also listed across a host of different genres – Pop, Urban, and even Rock (for ‘Lemonade’ jam ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’).
One category she isn’t named in is Best Country.
Find out why below…
Billboard cites a source on the voting panel who claims that Bey’s formal submission for ‘Daddy Lessons’ was rejected by the Country board.
No additional details were provided, but the news comes after furore from some in the Country community following the singer’s performance of the song with the Dixie Chicks at last month’s CMAs.
Interestingly the awards aired November 2nd and the Grammy’s first ballot (aka: the vote that determines nominations) was due November 4th. As such, it’s entirely plausible to argue that the nonsensical drama surrounding her showing did affect her clout in the category.
Still, it’s unlikely Mrs Carter is losing any sleep. Her multiple nominations in other genres re-affirms the fact that she’s made her mark. Both with ‘Lemonade’ as a project and her career more broadly.
The 2017 Grammys airs February 12th 2017 on CBS.

She still winning
Completely agree, this is no big deal. Who’s gonna complain when she still has 9 nominations in multiple genres and is nominated in all the major categories. Although it arguably could have been placed in the country category,the song is not pure country and there’s no featured country artist. Still, it helps demonstrate the diversity of the album. Wonder how many other songs by other artists were rejected from specific categories (?), as usual, Beyoncé is the one who causes conversation though her song is surely not the only song to not have been chosen by a committee. 4 other songs from Lemonade were chosen in various categories and the album as a whole is the most recognized this year so I agree that she is not losing sleep over one nom.
She wasn’t rejected. To say it was one of the 5 Best country songs of the year would be a stretch. Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood are nominated for Best Country Solo Performance. Though I find Beyonce to be a talented performer, lets stop handing her Grammy awards in categories she does not deserve. Much her like “Best Sound Engineer” win a few years ago.
She’s not outselling Drake, she isn’t respected by the country and rock communities, she’s not getting hits, she’s not on the radio. But winning I guess
I was just reading Billboard. I’m shocked “Formation” is even up for so many awards. It spent 7 weeks on the Hot 100. The accolades don’t really match her “success”.
THE STINKHIVE BETTER GLOAT, WHILE THEY CAN. CAUSE THIEFYONCE, AIN’T WINNING ANY OF THOSE 9 GRAMMYS, SHE UP FOR. ESPECIALLY NOT AOTY!
charts dont matter to her because she buys her awards, thats why that flopmation mess got nominatewd so much.
So sour bwhahaha. Hope Beyonce wins all so that u all can go and kill urself. Losers.
Bey outsold drake in pure sales and killed with the formation tour. They factored all of that in. When drake surpasses her in pure sales and touring, then speak, until then, have a seat, and remember bey album isn’t streamed everywhere either. over 256 million (formation tour, and lets not for get the lemonade album is about 20 dollars so you do the math. You’re not dumb. And by the way I like drake and respect him as an artist but if youre gonna speak facts, make sure you speak all the facts. Bey is winning.
Sam, this is a pointless write up. You had no juicy information from the inside. You deliver the basic beyonce news and write up an entire essay based on your obsession. Bro, like, haven’t you grown up yet? This is not real news at all. Why do I still come to this page is the real question lol
Truly pointless.
Geez its an entertainment news website and Sam is jus doin his job. Try writing a single article like he does foo
Bro, an entertainment site, yes. Sam just doing his job, NO!
These write ups are equalivant to a person following a personal Instagram or a Facebook account. 90% of the time it is a personal dig at someone while overly praising another. It really is no different from the people on my personal timeline. The comments are more entertaining than the actual stories posted.
If you’ve been aware of Sam’s writing habits for a good amount of time I’m assuming since you have such an extensive negative analysis of it, you know that it’s free and costs absolutely nothing for you to NOT keep returning and reading these articles right? Unless you’re in prison and it’s part of your sentence that you have to keep coming to TGJ to read stuff you’re annoyed by. That’s the only
Logical explanation I can think of.
Oh please go somewhere with that negative outlook crap especially on this site. This is a site that was created for individuals to be informed about what is going on in the entertainment business. Instead of actual real stories, the owner instead puts his love for beyonce over his business and creates a bias platform that has more negative “outlooks” than this reply alone.
I am just a consumer expressing my disappointment in the product I was given even if it’s a blog that claims to be unbiased and entertainment based.
But you all keep coming back to the website after routinely criticizing him? Apparently, Sam has done his job because you keep coming back for more. Thus, your “read” was pathetic.
but you still come to the site…. SAM IS WINNING
Why you here then??? Go to some other site period
Ha they are some haters getting headaches while bey sitting pretty unbothered.
She slayed the country music awards. Mind you Beyoncé been recorded daddy lessons years ago.
She slayed them with something that’s years old bye!
Hmm… maybe bacause she doesn´t have to be nominated for every single thing she does? Seriously! Congrats to her and to Adele. This year the nominations are so terrible that they are like the only artists that save the main categories. But still, they are far from the best musicians ever. The amount of nominations they always get is MORE THAN ENOUGH. In my opinion is exaggerated. So she´ll be fine if she doesn´t get one nomination for country too 🙂
Save the back handed compliments
Go away….
It´s not back handed compliments. It´s reality. I swear I don´t understand how blind stans cannot accept any sane comment if it isn´t about praising their fave as the best thing ever. Beyonce didn´t need one more nomination for country. That´s all. Fact.
Who gives a f***? She’s the most awarded female artist and will probably take home AOTY this year.
This year?
I had a dream where she lost AOTY,SOTY And ROTY to Adele?
I pray that dream comes true!
I pray that your mother loves you.
IT WILL HONEY, JUST BE PATIENT. SAM SMITH, ADELE AND TAYLOR SWIFT, ALREADY HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE, TO LEAVE THIS FAKE QUEEN, BALD AS
A BABY!
just hope she doesn’t start writing extra checks to the grammy board lmao, thats the only way she can beat adele.
Hope she loses in every category she nominated in for thst boring s*** minute maid
This girl is so overrated. I swear if it wasn’t for the gay men that want to be her she would be nothing.
Rightfully so
Lmaoo, f*** a beyonce!
That’s fine. Ms. Yonce is unbothered with her nomination in the Rock performance category. She’ll get a country nomination for sure with the next album. Carry on!
Lmao as if she stands a chance at winning a Rock Grammy…
I don’e even believe this….DADDY LESSONS was not part of what she submitted for consideration.
The Pitch Fork is reporting this as well.
I thought it’s not submitted? But 9 noms are already too much tho.
It’s nothing new…
White people will try to hold on the genres they stole so long ago that’s dear to their hearts…
I’m glad she did try to submit it…
She wasn’t playing this year…
I hope she wins big…
She’s a great talent…
OH stop trying to make this a race thing and go eat a sh!t covered d*** @Truth retared
If I was her….I would turn around and drop a full country album…let that b**** go platinum, that’s when you know you that b****..#fuckUptheGame
#SwitchItUpOnEm. #TheyAintReady
Country fans aren’t idiots like beyonce fans. If she tried dropping a country album, that sh*t would flop harder than LaToya Jackson’s country album lol.
ANd rih’s barely there walls and vocals
Don’t hurt yourself being nominated is a joke as well. But she won’t win.
A scary Hilson Stan talking about jokes? Ha!
Agrees
Agree on an identity h**
“Don’t hurt yourself” is one of the best song from Lemonade
Guess the Country Association doesn’t participate in camp beyonce’s Pay-For-Accolade program.
Don’t compare her nominations to MJ!! She’s competing in today’s music, he was out when music was music and competition was fierce!! No shade to Beyonce, but music sucks now. The grammy committee has no real nominees. I mean Justin Bieber and Drake are nominated for AOTY! Taylor Swift won twice. None of these current nominees would have came close to those categories against the real musicians, not even Adele. Look at Mariah, Whitney, and Janet, they have timeless music, sales and ruled the 90’s, but only have 16 grammys between them. I don’t take the Grammys seriously anymore.
It used to be exciting to see who won Best New Artist, now I don’t even know most, if not all the nominees!!
White people are trash.
Rhianna didn’t get one for CKB so what else is new?
Well considering the amount of snubs particularly One Dance this is small fry.
Bey still proved she can do traditional country song and do it well.
There’s a bigger picture here babe.
I know but fuuk em Danzou hun. There’s a reason no country music rules the top of the charts bar a very small minority of artist.
The industry knows what they’re about (fan base wise & song undercover musicians).
When did she prove that?
Have a listen to the song and it’s country. But maybe not to the tone deaf and racially institutionalised members within that genres committee.
Versatility is a blessing & she showed it off on Lemonade.
Congrats to Bey for being nominated, especially the Big 3 categories. However for her being nominated for Rock is absurd!! Just because it features Jack White?
It’s not like she can afford to pay for every award, she has already spent a lot money in the other nominations, only she knows how much it cost to buy a Grammy.
Tea
Good point, her expense account was probably overdrawn from the other “nominations”.
Is that why her overall network is dwindling?
Ahhhh she got chopped! “Hiii yah!” LOL! She trying grasp different genres of music, for the sake of “Universal Love” but the Country Folk was like…..Ohhh Hellz to the naw HEFFER! You keep in the barn producing that milk & eating hay…..cuz later you gon’ get butchered…..which is what subliminally happen. LMFAO!
LMAO COUNTRY FANS DON’T WANT THAT BUG AND HER ROACHES INFECTING THEIR MUSIC LMAO.
Why would she even submit for that category? In order to win under another genre than the one that you are known for your single has to be mega successful. Why did she even bother?
When her submissions were originally posted I don’t recall seeing Daddy Lessons submitted by her or her team for anything actually.
Is there a submission before the submissions?
S****** f****t & navy remain bitter helpless bi*ches. Why didn’t riri or jay buy her nominations/awards, why can’t others just buy their awards? this further proves beyonce’s mega star power if truly she buys these awards cos she must have so much money & is madly respected that her demands are always met.
Can someone name one song bigger than hello & formation and am not talking sales or chat. Can someone tell me if she’s not one of the very very few most talented & hardworking artist today? Can someone tell me a bigger artist than beyonce globally out now?
^^^^^ EXACTLY – By the haters logic if she buys her awards WHY AREN’T OTHERS ARTISTS SWEEPING THE BOARD WITH WINS YEARS PAST??? You mean to tell me Beyoncé is the only artist the Grammy Comittee will allow to purchase awards from them????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Miss me with that illogical ish haters – you just can’t accept that her material is critically acclaimed. As you were.
@hail lol
Lmao. Typical dumbasss beyonce fan logic. If you have to pay for your awards, your “talent” ain’t sh*t. You don’t see Adele, an even bigger artist globally than beyonce (check the sales numbers), buying awards and she can outsell beyonce in an hour.
She didn’t submit it..

Thats what I thought.
Anyway where is your BB year end list! So proud of Bey! She placed quite high on many list. Not bad for an album and singles that were apparently forgotten so easily lmao!

Sometimes racism can work in our favor……white people do not want this fake bish in their country music
Country music is black sweet heart. White people just stole that from us as well.
Lamooo at beyhive so triggered. they b**** has been dragged and back and dragged again this week oh what a worse time as now to be a pest.
And daddy lessons sucked no ones even uses it let alone listens to it.
Flop lessons
Adele will win 2 & Beyoncé will win 2 also the rest of the awards not sure who will win what is my thoughts….?
Awww poor Sam his Fav got rejected from the country music scene!!
Oh well but she’ll still win her award
People so damn stupid! If she bought awards, why has she never bought an ALBUM of the year Grammy?? I’m sure since her and Jay have a combined net worth of a BILLION dollars she could afford it. #DUMBASSHATERS
