this performance is really the reason we have cowboy carter right now. everyone say thank you cma's😭😭😭

Mind you this performance was not as popular among the country crowd either …. This was 2007 mind you….

Aht aht!! Let’s not thank them, until they give Beyoncé them golden accordions, or whatever their awards look like

There’s a lot of chatter in here. LET ME MAKE MYSELF CLEAR

Nah, let’s thank Bey and the Chicks only for their alchemy and talent. CMA gets a sideye and deuces. Dassit ✌🏾😒

Thank you Beyoncé

They were too scared of Beyoncé clearing them with a country album when they heard this masterpiece, so they tried to take her down

They really said THIS ain't Country I have to laugh 😭

Literally, the only time I've ever watched the CMAs.

The way some of them couldn't even pretend to enjoy...

you can even see it on her face when it settles in that she felt unwelcome. heartbreaking
