Travis Tritt was one of those country music superstars aren’t in favor of Beyonce being a part of the country music scene. “We don’t need pop or rap artists to validate us,” he said in an interview after she had attended the 2016 CMA awards.
It was reported Allan Jackson walked out, mid-song, because of Beyonce. Despite that, it is still not clear if that actually happened or not. Since that CMA award show in 2016, only one person has claimed to have seen the “Don’t Rock The Jukebox” singer leave.
