Beyoncé's country-inspired album "Cowboy Carter" made waves at the 2025 Grammy Awards, but she was notably absent from the nominations for the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards. Despite critical acclaim and historic wins at the Grammys, Beyoncé continues to push boundaries in the genre. The album features standout tracks like "Ameriican Requiem," "Texas Hold ‘Em," and collaborations with artists like Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton. Beyoncé's efforts to challenge genre norms and create music that reflects her own identity are evident throughout "Cowboy Carter."
