Welp, it happened, y’all — Beyoncé finally won Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards. 

But while that might be the biggest Bey-related news for Black America, the news that Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter also won the award for Best Country Album of the Year has simply ravaged the world of white American country music fans.

In other words: The whites are not OK.

I’m sorry but Beyoncé winning country album of the year is a joke

No, Beyoncé does not deserve to win a Grammy for Best Country Album.

Cowboy Carter is not an authentic Country Music Album.

The Grammys are a complete and total joke. pic.twitter.com/BXDSWXXtPE

Beyoncé is not a country singer.
Her winning a Grammy for best country album is all the proof needed to show that the Grammys are is nothing more than music industry propaganda.pic.twitter.com/FpwQMXA4id

You can go to virtually any social media platform that has a largely white following, look at the comment section under any post related to Beyoncé’s Grammy win and what you will find is a bottomless open bar of extra salty white tears. The skies of caucasity opened and a mighty rain did fall. Descendants of the musicians and recording artists who culturally appropriated virtually every musical genre they ever engaged in are super mad this Black woman from Houston, Texas, has taken over one of their beloved stolen artforms.

It’s comical, and Black folks online are treating it as such.

the CMAs didn’t even consider beyonce and she still won best country album at the grammys. i know those racists mad #Grammys pic.twitter.com/9Maotr5m9r

Imagine they tried to play Beyoncé at the country music awards by not even giving her a single nomination, meanwhile she won a whole ass Grammy for Best Country Album. pic.twitter.com/YRMw8gm15E

Now, white country fans are going to call Black people “race-baiters” for suggesting that their irrational yet seething hatred for Ms. Knowles is about her being a Black woman, as opposed to the notion they’re just mad because a pop star infiltrated country music. Nah, them people embraced Kid Rock too easily for us to believe it’s an issue of authenticity. If they’re not attacking Post Malone the way they’re attacking Bey, which they aren’t, it’s clearly not the genre-hopping they have a problem with. These can’t be the same people who praised that corny-ass MAGA infomercial Jason Aldean tried to pass off as authentic country music.

Seriously, are these people even successfully clapping on the two and four often enough for them to have so much to say about Bey’s talent? Is it really that much of a travesty that “TEXAS HOLD’EM” might inspire a little rhythm in white people’s stiff-ass line dances?

Dear white country music world,

I think the words you’re looking for are: “Thank you, Queen Bey.”

P.S.

Stay mad!
