Beyoncé’s Christmas Day NFL halftime performance, streamed on Netflix, garnered over 27 million viewers, surpassing the average viewership of the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards. Despite the success of her country album Cowboy Carter, which topped charts, Beyoncé received no CMA nominations in 2024. This sparked widespread criticism about the industry’s potential bias, especially as her Netflix performance achieved significantly higher viewership than the awards show itself. Critics have highlighted the challenges Black artists face in receiving recognition within the country music genre.
