Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' snubbed by Country Music awards

NEW YORK, United States — Beyonce did not receive a Country Music Association awards nomination when the nods for the 58th edition were announced Monday, even though her 'Cowboy Carter' album proved a cultural phenomenon upon release this year.

The absence of 'Cowboy Carter' among the slate of nominees was conspicuous: 'Texas Hold 'Em,' her sprawling album's first single, soared to the top of the charts, including the country list, and the album was widely considered a smash.
