The number one Billboard album and album of the Year?
seems like it's doing okay.
I think this is in reference to the album being fully shut out of the country music awards. Not even a single nomination.
And its fucking CRAZY how that happened. People can argue that "Beyonce isn't a country singer" all they want, but her song "YA YA" off the Cowboy Carter album (my favey fave off the album) is an incredible song with just her powerful lungs alone, however, the lyrics are shit that White Conservative Country Music People should eat up:
"My family live and died in America, hm Good ol' USA, shit (Good ol' USA) Whole lotta red in that white and blue, huh History can't be erased, ooh You lookin' for a new America? (America) Are you tired, workin' time and a half for half the pay? (Half the pay) Ya-ya (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh) I just pray that we don't crash, keep my Bible on the dash We gotta keep the faith"
And in a later verse she talks about staying strapped with a pistol on her hip and a Bible in her hands.
Like...this is exactly the type of shit these people literally dream about.
When you see the lyrics with the song, it hits differently.

thanks, that makes sense. I didn't know that, that is some bullshit.
