Country fans and Beyhive, unite!
The CMA Awards 50th anniversary celebration promises many surprises, including a special performance from Beyoncé.
While some critics have taken to Twitter to vent about the “Formation” singer taking the Nashville stage, country stars and CMA performers including Kelsea Ballerini, Maren Morris, Cassadee Pope, Pentatonix‘s Scott Hoying and even host Brad Paisley have expressed nothing but praise and excitement to see what Queen Bey has in store for the evening.
Check out their reactions below:
Frequently, country crosses over. But every now & then a major pop superstar wants to be a part of this too. Welcome, Beyoncé.#cmaawards50
