Dude, let's be honest, if it wasn't Beyoncé singing it, that song would have been lambasted.

It’s objectively not a good song. It's being buoyed solely by her celebrity.

It falls into the pop country category that wanna be country kids and white women love. Beyonce does broaden that audience some, but there is a market for it. I just hate they label that market as country, not because of this song alone, but because of the genre as a whole.

Also does the CMA's have to give her an award now? Could you imagine her being the first black woman to top the charts and not get one? Jay Z and others already go after any white woman who beats her for an award trying to insinuate it's race based. Could you imagine if she doesn't get at least one CMA or 'New Artist of the Year" off her country album after one song hit #1?!

Scruffy doesn’t like country at all.

In his opinion, it isn’t a good song.

It is just another example on a long list of “corporate-created” music. The lyrics are a hodgepodge of “country music tropes” and feel as if they were written by an AI.

It is nothing special.

But, Scruffy doesn’t like country music.
