Beyonce is also nominated for The People’s Artist of 2024, The Female Artist and The Social County Star of 2024. Cowboy Carter garnered a nod for The Album of 2024.
Cowboy Carter was released earlier this year on March 29, and received acclaim after being dropped.
The LP is the star’s eighth studio album, and the second of a trilogy of albums – with Renaissance (2022) being the first.
Cowboy Carter reached number one spots on various music charts, such as the Billboard 200, U.S. Folk Albums and U.S. Top Country Albums.
The singles, Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages, were also released before the album. Texas Hold ‘Em also landed onto global charts, such as number one on the U.K. Singles and U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
While the album was a success, Beyonce faced some criticism over her transition to the country genre.
While attending the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards in April, she received the Innovator Award and addressed the pushback that she garnered.
During her acceptance speech, the mother-of-three stated, ‘You call me an innovator, and for that, I’m very grateful. Innovation starts with a dream. But then you have to execute that dream, and that road can be very bumpy.’

While attending the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards in April (seen above), she received the Innovator Award and addressed the pushback that she garnered
‘Being an innovator is saying what everyone believes is impossible. Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength.’
She added, ‘Being an innovator is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you.’
‘So, to all the record labels, every radio station, every awards show, my hope is that we’re more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions…’
Before Cowboy Carter dropped, a source told DailyMail.com, ‘She knows there will be pushback by those who want her to stay in a narrow lane but she doesn’t care.’
‘In fact, it has made her more daring. By the time the summer is over, her detractors will know the difference between yee and haw.’
Back in 2016, Beyonce released the track, Daddy Lessons, which also took a dive into the country genre.
‘Bey was given the motivation to make a country record after seeing how many of her fans loved her single Daddy Lessons and her performance at the CMAs,’ the insider explained.

‘She wanted to use her platform to spotlight the contributions African-Americans have made to genres they have been shut out of. She spent months writing and researching.’
The 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards will take place next month on September 26 and will air live on both NBC and Peacock.
Other music artists that received top nominations for the big night include Kane Brown, Kacey Musgraves, Luke Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Shaboozey.
