The Beyoncé backlash has been blown out of proportion. It's totally okay not to be absolutely in love with her attempts at country music. They're well researched and they're formally correct but they definitely lack a sense of organic creation. But people are definitely overreacting as if it's a cardinal sin against country music. Additionally, fans are trying to loop in other artists to try and aid in their backlash. Kacey Musgraves is one of these artists and she's not standing for her being looped in with other people's agendas.

Kacey Musgraves Sets The Record Straight on Viral Reaction to Beyoncé Grammy Win
In a statement to E! News, Kacey slams the idea that she was upset about Cowboy Carter winning the awards at the GRAMMYs. Ultimately, she feels like they're trying to create some ridiculous warfare between two artists with love and respect for each other. "It's a sensationalistic false narrative meant to pit two talented female artists against each other. There was simply no scowl or expression made," Musgraves says in a statement.
Kacey didn't walk away from the evening completely empty handed though. She comes away with the Best Country Song award for her record "The Architect." In her acceptance speech, she keeps it simple, grateful that her song could impact people in turbulent times. "There's so much darkness in the world right now. It feels so good to be able to fight some of that darkness through song," Musgraves says
