You do know that Daddy's Lessons is off her Lemonade album. The Dixie Chicks loved it so much that they started covering it on their concert tour. When CMA's contacted Beyoncé to ask if she'd perform it at the 50th celebration, Beyoncé had a condition that the Dixie chicks will play it with her. They haven't been invited there since they criticized Bush Jr. for his presidency. They got together and did a pre recording of them doing the song, so right after the show aired, Beyoncé released the sale of it so people could buy and upload it right away.


The CMA's b*tched up and took this performance down on their website because too many racists jerks were leaving racists and bigoted comments about her performing country on their show. CMA's said that Beyoncé called them and told them to take it down so they won't cause controversy. I think if they had the balls to put her on the show for ratings....cuz let's face it, if you put her on your show, her fans will watch and your ratings skyrocket, then they should have had her back and the Dixie Chicks. None the less, she got her money and advertisement for new fans that didn't even know about that song.

She was paying tribute to her country roots too. Country music was founded in R&B (rhythm and blues), gospel and negro slave songs. But country music listeners today want to ignore that fact and deny it.

all beyoncé live performances are  CRAZY GOOD...best live  performer EVER

Beyoncé made A LOT of people mad by simply performing at the CMAs. A lot of racists showed themselves that night.

The Dixie Chicks and Beyonce need to Duet again. I loved this.

This is one of the greatest country songs of the past 25 years. Absolutely gorgeous song.

Oh they’re about to be real MAD at her doing this country album. 🤭

It's so funny because the women in the crowd are LOVING this, because they know what Beyonce and The Chicks are at the tops of their respected fields and this was a BARN BURNER of a performance. The men hated it because The Chicks were 'trouble makers' and Beyonce was black, and out performing them.

She ATE that. And she looked absolutely gorgeous.

That crowd was not worthy. 4 badass women and a kickass band.

The fact that this whole performance is pure activism (on many different levels) makes it even better. Seeing the angry people in the audience is no coincidence, they knew this performance would ruffle feathers and cause an outcry. Beyoncé is not just a pop star, she is a complex, conceptual, multidisciplinary artist with undeniable impact not only in the music industry but in the world. A lot of people won't realize it until she's gone. She will leave Michael Jackson level impact on the world once she's gone.

Beyoncé experienced extreme racism after this performance because they didn’t want her to perform at the country music awards. I think you should check out more of Beyoncé maybe formation (music video) or beautiful ones/sex on fire live

Yep, lots of controversy.  Many country music artists & listeners didn't like Beyonce performing at the CMA's.  Some said she isn't a country artist so shouldn't have had such a spotlight at a show to honor country artists.  But Chris Stapleton performed with Justin Timberlake & everybody loved it.  They said she was too sexy but Shania Twain performed in some pretty sexy outfits leading to many female country artists to follow suit & nobody's complained.  She's black & singing country?  Well, Charlie Pride, Ray Charles & Aaron Neville sang country & Darius Rucker does today.  I'm sure some have never forgiven Natalie for saying she was ashamed that then Pres. Bush was from Tex. Then, after shunning the CMAs for years, The Chicks come back with a black "pop" singer?!  I see sexism here, too.  How could these 4 WOMEN have had the effrontery to do such a thing?!  Again - Chris & Justin?  Even a song about shooting somebody couldn't make everybody happy!

So of them salty faces are so threatened and so weak..😩😂😂😂😂

Some Texas girls just sangin

He's making that face because a lot of people did not want her there! And I believe there's some controversy w/ the Dixie Chicks as well....Beyonce faced a lot of racism and sexism due to this performance, from saying she was too sexy in her performance to saying she shouldn't be allowed to perform country music, etc. But they killed it anyway!

She was pregnant with twins in this performance too. Her award season she performed and sang pregnant with the twins, insane!

I love how Chicks used part of their song with words: Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard, They've got money but they don't have Cash, They got Junior but they don't have Hank... Total middle finger to CMAs and country music industry... because country music today is pure horse s*it.

They absolutely killed that !

Her performance was amazing. The facial expressions of country music artist in the crowd looking displeased was due to nonsense that had nothing to do with her. Mainly Racial/Political nonsense not her performance. 👍👍🤣🤣

Sal, I’m so glad you did this reaction, you would be surprised how the Country Music artists in the audience didn’t know how to react to this performance, but I thought it was great, Country and Rhythm and Blues definitely go together
