Dolly Parton Speaks Out About Beyoncé’s CMA Diss
But some question whether the universally beloved music legend’s remarks are in themselves insulting.
Beyoncé covered Dolly Parton’s most beloved songs on her neglected album, which was a very difficult feat.
Is Dolly Parton joining in on the diss or is she playing the pacifist by spreading praise?
Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Was Scrapped at the CMA Awards, and Dolly Parton Has Some Thoughts on the Matter
Tell to ~ manifold In an interview on September 17, Dolly Parton is diplomatic He suggested: “Well, I don’t know.”
“There are probably too many great country artists in the country music industry,” she noted. “There certainly are.
Dolly Parton said: “They probably thought, ‘Well, you can’t exclude people who do that their whole lives.'”
To be clear, Dolly Parton didn’t say that. cowboy carter It’s not country. In fact, she called it “a great album.”
Dolly continued, “She could be really proud, and I think everyone in the country music industry would welcome her and think that’s great.”
Dolly Parton commented on the CMAs not nominating Beyoncé’s album, saying, “So I don’t think it was a deliberate nomination. I think it was more about the country charts and what country artists do, which is not just having a special album.”
It seems very reasonable for Beyoncé to make a country album.
Beyoncé and Post Malone have both dabbled in country, and Dolly Parton, who appeared on both albums, added that she’s “open to anything” about their future work.
Dolly Parton also confirmed Beyoncé’s country credentials: “She’s a country girl from Texas and Louisiana, so she grew up with that foundation.”
The country legend stressed, “She didn’t come out of nowhere. Post Malone has loved country music his whole life, and I did a duet with him on his album, and I thought it was a fantastic album. I thought both albums were great.”
When Beyoncé wrote ‘Cowboy Carter,’ it came from experiencing exclusion.
Queen Bee never specifically mentioned it, but most assume she was referring to her performance at the 2016 CMA Awards.
Of course, her album being snubbed at the CMA Awards felt like a sharp stab, and the racist outcry over her music being played on country radio — especially since Bey’s album debuted at No. 1 on the charts — has been met with scorn.
Is this another hurtful neglect?
Only Beyoncé can decide whether or not Dolly Parton’s words are hurtful. But Dolly seems to have her back… and says that being shut out of the CMA Awards wasn’t a personal issue.
To be honest… Dolly Parton gets way too much credit from people. It’s no wonder. It’s one of the reasons she’s so universally loved ( Strange people Federalist) She is hardly involved in politics.
All in all, this is great. But when someone disparages Beyoncé and Dolly Parton says it was an accident, her charitable comments can hurt a little bit. Beyoncé’s album was ignored. People can be upset about that.
