I was at the CMAs the night this happened. I’ll never forget when a woman in front of me yelled “Get that Black bi**h off the stage!” These experiences have happened countless times to numerous Black folks in country music spaces. We’re trying to change that at @BlackOpry .

Beyoncé references her 2016 CMAs performance with @thechicks in her cover reveal post for #COWBOYCARTER . “This album has been over 5 years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed...and it was very clear that I wasn't.”

Hey y’all! For anyone wanting to learn more about the harsh realities of Black country music artists/fans, here’s a recent article. It explains how specifically country radio is holding back so many artists from success in country music.

Beyoncé has a country hit. How will country radio handle that?

If one of the world’s biggest superstars gets a hit on country radio, will it help other Black country artists get airplay too?

Let the record show that including a Black gospel choir to your performance for an award show or on the chorus of your song is not diversifying Country music…

One thing we aren’t gonna do is act like Bobby Bones is the saving grace of getting Beyoncé on country radio…I could say a lot but I’ll stay quiet for now.

I know people are all up in arms on twitter. About what is and what isn’t country. But that Beyoncé song is legit. “Texas Hold Em” is great. We just got it serviced to us this afternoon, but I’ll play it tomorrow. Hey @Beyonce , DM me. Come on the show tomorrow. Also, I don’t

Just a reminder that Stagecoach had zero Black artists performing yesterday. The other days do have a few more Black artists represented but there’s so much more room for improvement.

All I’m saying is, if there’s now an open slot for Stagecoach, we’d be glad to get some Black country artists on stage instead 🤠🖤

One final thing for today and I’m out. It’s VERY interesting to see so many “critics” who’ve rarely ever covered Black artists in mainstream country, decide to amplify a negative critique written by a Black woman to be THEIR mouthpiece on #COWBOYCARTER

The data provided by @data_jada here is insurmountable. I’m pleading with the audience to stay curious about country music, ESPECIALLY Black women in country music. The more the audience demands/expects inclusivity in genre, the further we can push the needle. Y’all in?!

Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em is getting played on Country format radio but what about the many Black female country artists? @jadiehm dug back into the data from our project on back-2-back airplay to show y’all just how underrepresented they were in 2022 on the stations studied…

To this moment, they have yet to share anything about Bey’s cover art or post from yesterday…wonder why? Again, this is the norm in the country music industry.
