00:00 Beyonce is her own genre.
00:02 Guys, if I'm going to do this segment, I need my wind machine.
00:06 Really?
00:07 Are we that cheap?
00:08 Well, that's what I'm talking about.
00:11 Now I'm ready.
00:13 Beyonce brought down the house at the Country Music Awards
00:16 on Wednesday, performing "Daddy Lessons" with the Dixie
00:19 Chicks.
00:20 [MUSIC - BEYONCE, "DADDY LESSONS"]
00:21 Before she went on stage, people were--
00:27 what's the word--
00:28 surprised that Beyonce was at the Country Music Awards
00:31 celebrating country?
00:32 Katie Joy tweeted, "OMG, what's this crap about Beyonce
00:35 performing at the CMAs?
00:36 Um, no.
00:37 Go away.
00:38 Go back to your own genre, thanks."
00:40 Dr. Frater tweeted, "Beyonce is not a country artist,
00:42 therefore she doesn't belong at the CMAs.
00:44 It has nothing to do with skin color."
00:46 It's important to note that black musicians have played
00:48 a huge role in country music, and that elements of country
00:51 music actually come from the blues.
00:53 Beyonce was also born in Texas and identifies herself
00:57 as country.
00:58 Despite the controversy, people unanimously
01:00 agreed that her performance was amazing.
01:03 Country star Brad Paisley welcomed her on Twitter,
01:05 saying, "Frequently country crosses over,
01:07 but every now and then a major pop superstar
01:10 wants to be part of this too.
01:11 Welcome, Beyonce."
01:13 Raquel Willis says, "Beyonce proves in one performance
01:15 that she is the Beyonce of country music."
01:17 And Zara Larsson tweeted, "Beyonce can literally
01:20 do anything.
01:20 She'll slay any genre like it's nothing."
