BeyonceHer “Cowboy Carter” album may not have garnered much awards season glory yet, but she may be gearing up for a showdown at the Grammys — the album is rumored to be entered in a major category at next year’s ceremony.
The Recording Academy’s selection committee met last week to decide which albums and songs will compete at the Feb. 2 awards show at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena — and Beyoncé’s country album emerged as the favorite… and is expected to appear in the votes for the Best Country Album Category, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
They also supposedly crowned Sabrina Carpenter as the favorite for Best New Artist, ready to face other possible candidates such as Chappel Roan, Shaboozey, Benson Boone, Teddy swimsand Megan Moroney.
But as for Queen Bey — her rumored submission for Best Country Album comes seven years after her country hit “Daddy Lessons” from 2016’s “Lemonade” was rejected by the Recording Academy.
But this time, B’s country album is one of the biggest of the year, so she has a much better chance of being recognized – although let’s not forget the huge uproar when she got no nominations at the recent CMA Awards, and then it was zero. to 17 at the People’s Choice Country Music Awards last week.
Talk about a wild ride!
