Martina McBride has reportedly said no to working with Beyoncé, which has started a big conversation about what makes country music real.
McBride is said to have turned down the chance because she wants to keep the true spirit of the genre, even mentioning, “Country music doesn’t need a clown in a cowboy hat.” Beyoncé, who is famous for mixing different music styles, had asked McBride to join her in a new country music project, but McBride’s decision has caused mixed feelings among fans.
Supporters of traditional country music are backing McBride, while fans of Beyoncé are not happy with her choice. This situation has brought back discussions about what country music really is and who it includes.
