*Country Music singer Luke Bryan weighed on Beyoncé being overlooked at the Country Music Awards, with her album “Cowboy Carter” failing to secure any nominations at the prestigious event.

“Cowboy Carter” made history as the first album by a Black woman to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The single “Texas Hold ’Em” became the first by a Black woman to top both Billboard’s Country Song Chart and the Hot 100 chart.

“Everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album. Nobody’s mad about it. But where things get a little tricky … if you’re gonna make country albums, come into our world and be country with us a little bit,” Bryan said on SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” Monday, Page Six reports.

“Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants to. She’s probably the biggest star in music,” he added.

“But come to an award show and high-five us, and have fun and get in the family, too. And I’m not saying she didn’t do that. … But country music’s a lot about family,” Bryan said.

“I’m all for everybody coming in and making country albums and all that. But just by declaring that, just because she made one — just ’cause I make one, I don’t get any nominations,” he continued. Listen to his full remarks in the YouTube clip above.

Meanwhile, country music icon Dolly Parton recently spoke out about Beyoncé being overlooked at the Country Music Awards. Dolly was featured on “Cowboy Carter,” and Variety asked for her reaction to Bey receiving zero CMA nominations.

“Well, you never know. There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that,” Parton said.

“But it was a wonderful album. She can be very, very proud of, and I think everybody in country music welcomed her and thought that, that was good,” Dolly continued.

“So I don’t think it was a matter of shutting out, like doing that on purpose. I think it was just more of what the country charts and the country artists were doing, that do that all the time, not just a specialty album,” she added.

Bey’s father, Mathew Knowles, reacted to the news his daughter was snubbed. He told TMZ that the CMA Awards voters are “showing it still comes down to white and Black.” 

“There’s more white people in America and unfortunately they don’t vote based on ability and achievements,” Knowles added. “It’s still sometimes a white and Black thing.” 

He said, “In America, there’s no accountability for people not being accepting of other cultures.”

The CMA winners will be revealed during a live broadcast on ABC on November 20.
