Country Music Fans Outraged Over Upcoming Beyoncé CMA Performance

Editor’s note: This post contains tweets that some may find offensive.

Beyoncé is bringing some country soul to Wednesday night’s Country Music Association awards, and although the Beyhive is ecstatic, some country music fans aren’t.

Beyoncé will open the show with the Dixie Chicks and more than likely will perform “Daddy Lessons.”

Most country music fans, however, had no clue that the singer had a country song, and once they found out, outrage ensued.
