With 11 Grammy Nominations, Cowboy Carter has now become the most nominated solo album of Beyoncé’s career! News
It surpasses, IASF and Lemonade which were tied at 9 nominations each!

They didn't nominate Tyrant for RnB smh, she could have had 100 nominations in total

u/Cowardly_Serah Nov 08 '24
It’s her fault. She should have submitted II HANDS II HEAVEN instead of TYRANT.

ii hands ii heaven was an immediate favorite of mine but tyrant did sneak its way into my heart after a couple of listens. I can understand why that's the song they chose to submit.

It seems she deliberately wants to see if the Grammys will award her when she doesn’t submit to the R&B category. She’s testing them.

Unfortunately Tyrant is the most trap song of the album but it made no noise...
2 hands 2 heaven had a challenge so it had better chances

Her genre-blending on CC let her submit different songs to Pop, Country, Rap, and Americana song categories in addition to general field.
That's my queen!

u/Bonkszzz Nov 08 '24
Call me a pessimist but I’m not keeping my fingers crossed, if she wins 1 or 2 then cool!

u/iamnotinventive Nov 09 '24
No shade at all cos I’m a hag hive, but I feel like the older fans are more jaded - all this to say I agree with you but I think it’s because we’ve watched her not get her deserved accolades for so long. Hopefully we’re wrong

u/Bonkszzz Nov 09 '24
I’m older too and I feel at this point of her career it doesn’t really matter. It’ll probably look cute on her shelf but in the grand scheme of things, with all she accomplished no one outside of us or her really cares that much lol.

u/csimpson1992 Nov 09 '24
I agree. I think if she didn’t get AOTY for Lemonade or Renaissance she won’t get it for CC. Maybe I’m jaded hag hive too 😂

u/Sburtonjo Nov 11 '24
I actually think she could win AOTY for CC, however, she deserved it more for Lemonade or Self-Titled.
I think of it like how everyone was so shocked that Leonardo DiCaprio had never won a best actor oscar although he had been nominated several times, THEN he won for The Revenant. Good movie, good performance, but he deserved it long before that.
Same with Bey, she deserved it a long time ago, so I imagine they'll give it to her now..But I could be wrong. I'm hag hive too and sadly jaded by the letdowns.

u/TheAmmiSquad Nov 10 '24
And there's tons of evidence to back it. The most devastating were the Grammys where she won 2 awards for Lemonade. That night was such a strong reminder that coloured brilliance /GOATedness is still inferior to white mediocrity. Then you see Renaissance lose to Harry's house and are also reminded of self-titled losing to Beck and there's unfortunately a recurring theme.

u/DareSaintCorsair Nov 08 '24
I thought the girls were upset that it was her shortest charting album.
Great genre-bending career-defining art ...sometimes...isn't that popular at the time that it released to the public.
LOUDER.
Yes gawd.

u/beyforever Beyonce for president! Nov 08 '24
Why did my mind think the title was going to say, "With 11 Grammy Nominations, Cowboy Carter has won ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!" lol. Congrats Bey❤

u/MrEverything917 Nov 08 '24
I need her to get every last trophy in the country categories SPECIFICALLY

u/Ray--man Nov 08 '24
She will win AOTY! Mark my words!

I've already spent my disappointment quota for the year. At this point I hope for nothing and just am happy to see these nominations.

u/jessi_survivor_fan Nov 10 '24
Watch Brat or The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess win because they were more integral to the year than Cowboy Carter. We literally had a Brat Summer and I could not get away from Hot To Go.

u/MrEverything917 Nov 08 '24

There is nothing to be said...

u/SadAsexulWitch THAT time in the elevator when Sol—🤐 Nov 08 '24
Who is “we”? 🤨🤨

u/johnmichael-kane 4 Nov 09 '24
I can count on two hands the number of posts that started with “why isn’t the album selling better, is it because she didn’t promote it, this is her worst album in terms of charting, etc. etc.” 😂😅

u/SadAsexulWitch THAT time in the elevator when Sol—🤐 Nov 09 '24
Then they should make it clear that they’re talking about those people, not using collective pronouns like “we” to seemingly refer to the entire ‘hive….

u/Acceptable_Ball4980 Nov 09 '24
It felt like a damn near big ass majority. Now ppl flip flopping like some of us werent 10 toes down defending CC against huge portion of the hive going "no visuals but a whiskey brand she really is a capitalist!"

u/alex147147 Nov 09 '24
When I saw how much she was nominated I was so fucking proud and excited!
TW: Election 2024 ✋🏾 And then, because of the election outcome, the inauguration will have happened, and frankly who knows. So regardless of how problematic the recording academy is, this years show is going to be inherently political.
As such I was like heaven God father son and Holy Spirit do not let some foolishness happen regardless of who wins (my fears on that are another story (and subreddit) altogether 🙃) and the fact she was nominated at all. We have to be realistic and acknowledge there was a very vocal crowd of haters and critics who share a lot of overlap with people who have already started showing the worst of themselves and posting openly vile misogynistic, racist shit online.
Idk, this week has me paranoid. Anything coming up I’m just trying to brace myself for it to be impacted/influenced by whatever is happening. And unfortunately we have no idea of the speed of impact until we’re in it. I’m trying my damnedst to be hopeful and excited for upcoming things, and I truly believe I am, but I also don’t want to be naive either.

u/grroovvee Nov 09 '24
I dont think she’s going to win any. They love to play in peoples faces especially hers and nominate her for a bunch of stuff and give her zilch.

u/cetruth Nov 09 '24
Both her and Jayz are the most nominated artists together I believe, they were tied with 88, now he’s at 89, she’s surpassed him obviously now, but as a couple, that’s a hell of a collective flex. 🐐

Wishing her the best, but the petty Hiver in me wants her to be punished for neglecting II HANDS II HEAVEN.

I know it doesn’t really matter but doesn’t this not hit the same after Jay Z making that speech?

Ugh I know his intentions were good , she’s his wife after all but I wish he didn’t say anything !

u/Character-Glass790 Nov 09 '24
Honestly, I remember him saying something but I don't remember exactly what it was. I feel like she really didn't put him up to that and would have preferred if he hadn't, just based on how silent she has always been on the issue. Because of that, it doesn't change my perspective on this achievement for her. It doesn't "hit different" for me personally.

u/Bonkszzz Nov 08 '24
I said this the next day because it would look like she got it out of pity/begging

This is cool and all but be prepared that some guy who was popular in the 1970s will win instead. 😒
They’ve been playing in our faces since before Jesus was born.

Of course I want CC to win album of the year, but the way I wood cackle if it won best country album of the year after being snubbed at the CMAs 🧙🏽♀️

u/smileliketheradio Nov 09 '24
all i can say is thank god this is the new rules on who receives the grammy for AOTY if they win cause I'm selfishly glad it means Bey wouldn't (if she wins) have to share the thing with fifty-eleven people: "Artist, featured artist, producer, songwriter (of new material), mastering engineer, and recording engineer or mixer (only those who were credited on at least 20% playing time of the album)"
