Dolly Parton doesn't believe Beyoncé was shut out of the CMA Awards 'on purpose'
Earlier this month, the nominees for the upcoming Country Music Association Awards were announced, and many people were surprised to learn that Beyoncé had been left out. The Single Ladies hitmaker released her first country album, Cowboy Carter, in March as the second part of her album trilogy. The album topped the Billboard 200 and Billboard Country Albums charts, making her the first Black woman to top the country albums chart. The record featured appearances from a number of country icons, including Dolly.
