Country singer Gavin Adcock has recently spoken out against Beyonc\u00e9’s album "Cowboy Carter", stating that it does not belong in the country music genre. During a live performance, Adcock expressed his opinions on the matter, saying "This shit is not a country music". He also pointed out that "Cowboy Carter" was ranked higher than other country music records in the Apple Music Country charts.<\/p>\n
Adcock put Beyonc\u00e9 in the crosshairs, saying "One of them Beyonc\u00e9, you can tell her that we come for her damn ass". He emphasized that "Cowboy Carter" was never country music and will never be considered as such. Adcock, who was nominated for the new male artist of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards 2025, explained his reasons for speaking out against Beyonc\u00e9’s album on social media.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Adcock revealed that he has a personal connection to Beyonc\u00e9’s music, having listened to her songs as a child. He even remembered her Super Bowl half-time show, which was well-received at the time. However, despite his admiration for her music, Adcock does not think that "Cowboy Carter" should be classified as country music. He simply states that "She is Beyonc\u00e9", implying that her music does not fit into the country genre.<\/p>\n
Beyonc\u00e9 has previously explained that the idea for "Cowboy Carter" came to her after she had an experience where she felt unwelcome in the country music scene. This experience led her to study the history of country music and explore its archives. She has also referenced her performance of "Daddy Lessons" at the Country Music Association Awards in 2016, where she was accompanied by the Dixie Chicks. Despite releasing "Cowboy Carter" and breaking several records, Beyonc\u00e9 was excluded from the nominations for the same show, sparking a backlash against the institution.<\/p>\n
Adcock is preparing to release his new album "My Own Worst Enemy" on August 15. He will also be opening for Morgan Wallen on several tour dates, including Miami and Toronto. The country music scene is abuzz with excitement and controversy, with Adcock’s statements against Beyonc\u00e9’s album adding fuel to the fire.<\/p>\n
The controversy has also sparked a reaction on social media, with many fans and critics weighing in on the debate. A tweet from @Popspectator reads: "Country artist Gavin Adcock Slams Beyonc\u00e9 after his album under ‘Cowboy Carter’ in the Apple Music Country charts is subject: ‘This is not a country music, and it was never country music and it won’t be a country music’". The tweet has garnered a lot of attention, with many people sharing their opinions on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
