A few feathers have been ruffled at the Grammy Awards this year with Beyoncé's country music win. As the audience reactions were broadcast to the world, Kacey Musgraves in particular didn't look too impressed.

Even Beyoncé herself announced that Cowboy Carter wasn't a country album. Yet, here we are, with the 'Best Country Music Album' award going to her. This has put a few noses out of joint, with many believing that others deserved the title.
Nevertheless, the decision was made, and Beyoncé finally got to take home her 'Album of The Year' Grammy. But, this didn't sit right with Kacey Musgraves apparently, and her face told the whole story. The camera panned past her, and as she applauded, her expression gave her away.
Country Music Awards For Country Music Artists
Among the nominees for the Country Music Album of The Year Grammy were several pure country artists. Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, and Kacey Musgraves were all up for the award, and yet it was Beyoncé who took it home.
Many people are saying she only won it because of Jay-Z's previous complaints. Beyoncé has a total of 32 Grammys but never an 'Album of the Year' award. "She has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work," he said on stage. Whether this is an attempt to rectify that or not is only known by the Grammys organizers.
It's easy to understand why Kacey Musgraves is put out by Beyoncés country music win. The title is usually for someone much more loyal to the genre. Sure, Cowboy Carter may have had a billion and a half plays, but it's about more than that. The genre has its crowd and culture, and that's what it is supposed to be about.
However, some people have pointed out that Kacey Musgraves might not be scowling about the Beyoncé Grammy win. She's had a fair amount of work done, and some have noted that her face is always like that. She's managed to botox in a permanent scowl. She looked quite similar when she went up to take her awards too.
