This performance brought in the highest ratings EVER in the history of the CMA's & they have never seen ratings like that since. This performance was also the fuel that inspired Beyoncé to create Cowboy Carter because of the rude and racist ways she was treated that night. I like to call this performance: "Beyoncé's Villain Origin Story" 😂❤💪🏾

Actually, the closest you’re gonna see to the tour will be her Beyoncé bowl performance she just did for Texas. That’s on Netflix.

What started cowboy Carter 🙌🏽

So glad this performance happened because it gave us Cowboy Carter, a flipn MASTERPIECE!

She was pregnant

im pretty sure some of the artists at the CMAs for this performance went online and actually critized it, as well as one guy (cant remember his name to save my life) saying something about him not expecting her to be allowed here (at the CMAs) whilst he was onstage accepting some sort of speech, and was only dancing along during the performance bc of his wife

bacause of this performance, we have cowboy carter, it is before Renaissance
