Despite picking up album of the year and best country album for Cowboy Carter at the 2025 Grammys, Beyoncé has been snubbed by a country music awards program…again. The nominations for the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards were unveiled Thursday, and Beyoncé’s name was notably left off the list. This isn’t the first time, however, as the cultural icon was also snubbed by the 2024 CMA Awards this past year.

Why queer country music? Because sometimes you love a culture that doesn’t love you back. And when everyone came to the first Gay Ole Opry in April of 2011 in all their country finery, we knew we weren’t alone. We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
