The reverberating impact of Beyonce‘s Country album ‘Cowboy Carter’ was present in more ways than one at the BET Awards 2024.

Indeed, beyond Queen Bey’s nominations and wins, Black Country artists featured on the set harnessed the buzz around their involvement on the blockbuster LP into performance slots on the main telecast.
