Within
the
first
single
on
Cowboy
Carter,
Beyoncé
lays
it
all
out
for
her
critics,
seemingly
referencing
the
backlash
she
faced
after
she
performed
at
the
CMA
Awards
in
2016.
“They
used
to
say
I
spoke,
‘Too
country’
/
And
the
rejection
came,
said
I
wasn’t, ‘Country ‘nough,’”
she
sings,
“Said
I
wouldn’t
saddle
up,
but
/
If
that
ain’t
country,
tell
me,
what
is?
/
Plant
my
bare
feet
on
solid
ground
for
years
/
They
don’t,
don’t
know
how
hard
I
had
to
fight
for
this.”
At
the
time,
fans
noted
that
the
CMA
Awards
appeared
to
take
down
footage
of
her
surprise
performance
alongside
The
Chicks.
However,
in
a
statement
to
E!
News,
the
organization
shared
they
took
down
a
promotional
clip
instead.
