Grammys reject Beyonce’s song

Author: Web Desk

While the Country Music Association considered Beyoncé’s song “Daddy Lessons” country enough to warrant a performance slot opposite the Dixie Chicks at the 50th CMA Awards, the Grammys apparently don’t share that view.

The track from Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ was reportedly rejected by the Recording Academy for consideration in the country field, Rolling Stone reports.

Beyoncé submitted “Daddy Lessons” for a nomination in the country category, but the Academy’s country music committee shunned the song.

Beyoncé earned nine Grammy nominations when the categories were revealed on December 6th. While the bulk of the singer’s nominations were in all-genre, pop and rap categories, she did make an unexpected showing in the Best Rock Performance field for the Lemonade track “Don’t Hurt Yourself” featuring Jack White. This makes the outright rejection of “Daddy Lessons” somewhat more of a head-scratcher.

The 59th Grammy Awards will be held February 12th in Los Angeles.
