Beyoncé Knowles appears to be venturing into the realm of country music, despite her already extensive collection of Grammys. However, her aspirations to join the country music scene have hit a roadblock as the Academy of Country Music has rejected her membership request.
ACM Executive Director Joe Barron expressed skepticism, stating, “Honestly, we thought she was joking.” Despite Beyoncé’s Texan roots and genuine interest in the genre, the ACM remains unconvinced. Barron emphasized that her recent ventures into country music won’t grant her acceptance into their fold.
The ACM’s decision means Beyoncé will miss out on eligibility for ACM Music Awards and opportunities such as performing at the Grand Ole Opry. Additionally, she won’t have access to perks like member nights at Kid Rock’s Nashville Honkytonk or discounts at Golden Corral.
“It’s a devastating setback for her country music dreams,” remarked Lou, a local at a Galveston 7-11. “Without the ACM award, she might not cement her status as one of the biggest names in music history.”
Though Lou’s understanding seemed a bit delayed, we showed our appreciation with a pack of Winstons and a bag of Fireball nips. God Bless America.
