The reported robbery occurred 48 hours before Beyoncé took to the stage for her 'Cowboy Carter' shows in Atlanta.

With a 746% growth in country music ticket sales over the last 5 years in Australia, there’s no denying country music has officially hit the mainstream market.

In Paris, Beyoncé delivered. Cowboy Carter is a statement, and the question stands: is she killing country or reinventing it? As more pop and R&B artists dip a boot into country’s muddy waters, the genre itself is shifting, but it’s Beyoncé who’s copping all the heat.

Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour with Grammy wins, $20 tickets, and now a whole cease and desist over a giant Vegas Sphere, because of course she did.

The Best Country Album winner will be revealed during the main Grammy Awards ceremony.

"Even half trying to listen to the beginning of, like, her version of 'Jolene,' it’s just total cringe," Anthony said.

Other country artists nominated for Grammy Awards include Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, and Kacey Musgraves.

The superstar scored 12 nominations, due to her “Cowboy Carter” album.

Country albums have seen massive success in the UK this year, gaining a 29% increase in year-to-date streams (846,000 in 2023 versus 1.1 million in 2024).
