Beyoncé is making sure her fellow Black female artists in the country space are getting their flowers too.
Amid the release of her highly-anticipated country album Cowboy Carter on Friday, the Grammy-winning singer sent flowers and cards with sweet messages to K. Michelle and Mickey Guyton to show her appreciation for what they have already done in the genre.
“Thank you for opening doors for me, queen. Keep shining. Love and respect, Beyoncé,” she wrote to Guyton, along with a stunning bouquet of white flowers.
In her card to K. Michelle, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer said, “You’re killing it! I love what you’ve been doing and I know it’s not easy to enter a new space. Sending you positivity and respect. I hope to meet you one day. Love, Beyoncé.”

Few artists in the country sphere in the past two years have had the industry breakthrough Mickey Guyton has had. While Guyton didn’t come out of nowhere — she’d had a minor country radio hit in 2015 — the singer’s recognition skyrocketed in 2020, partially due to the Black Lives Matter movement and the country industry’s desire to spotlight more Black talent that had been wrongly overlooked for most of the 2010s. Guyton’s song “Black Like Me” received a lot of buzz, and it garnered Guyton her first Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance in 2021. “Black Like Me” ultimately lost the award to Vince Gill’s heartfelt “When My Amy Prays,” but Guyton gets another shot to win this year – three shots, actually.

For all of its national holiday status, Super Bowl Sunday can be a complicated matter, especially when you consider the NFL’s tumultuous record surrounding issues of race. See the league’s handling of Colin Kaepernick or coach Brian Flores. But the NFL made the right call for Super Bowl Lvi when it invited Mickey Guyton — a Black country music singer — to perform the national anthem.

To introduce this year’s Super Bowl, Mickey Guyton delivered a powerful, gospel-tinged rendition of the National Anthem to an excited crowd of fans. Before hitting the stage at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Guyton was described as having the “voice of an angel.” In a floor-length, blue gown, her crystalline vocals soared, and she looked as if she was nearly moved to tears during the track.

Mickey Guyton hasn’t had an easy path on her way to becoming one of the few Black women in country music today. But after years of false starts and disappointments in the music business, she decided to do things her way on her debut album, Remember Her Name. Staying true to herself meant telling her story. The album included songs like “Love My Hair,” which she wrote after seeing a video of a Black girl sent home from school because she was told her hair was distracting, and “Black Like Me,...

Mickey Guyton offered a powerful celebration of self-love at the 2021 CMA Awards, performing the song “Love My Hair” with the help of guests Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards.
Guyton, who has been open about the racism she continues to face as a Black woman in country music, wrote the song with Anna Krantz and recorded it on her debut album Remember Her Name.

In his first interview with a news outlet since his racial-slur scandal broke six months ago, country superstar Morgan Wallen told “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan that his use of the N-word was the result of being in a drunken climate with friends where they “say dumb stuff together,” and was not meant “in any derogatory manner at all.” He said that in the wake of the furor, he spent 30 days in rehab and has donated $500,000 to Black charities.
Of his “Dangerous: The Double Album” release, which has turned out to be the most popular album in all of music this year, Wallen said, “Before this incident my album was already doing well,” but “me and my team noticed that whenever this whole incident happened, that there was a spike in my sales.

The 2021 CMT Music Awards will be presented tonight, June 9, during a ceremony hosted by nominees Kelsea Ballerini and Kane Brown and airing live across Viacom networks including CMT, MTV, MTV2, Logo, Paramount, and TV Land. But who will win? Scroll down for our official racetrack odds in six categories, which are based on the combined predictions of Gold Derby users. Our projected winners are highlighted in gold.
The CMT Awards differ from other country music events in that they’re decided strictly by fans voting online, unlike the CMA and ACM Awards, which are handed out by industry peers. And we’re betting that fans will be kinder to Carrie Underwood than those other awards often are. She rarely wins Entertainer of the Year at those events (and often isn’t even nominated), but she has won the top prize here more than anyone else, claiming Video of the Year eight times.

Early on in the season finale of Sunday night’s (May 23) episode of “American Idol,” judge Luke Bryan informed fellow country singer Chayce Beckham he earned the ultimate prize: a chance for the two of them to go fishing.
“Win or lose, we’re going bass fishing,” Bryan said.
Those plans are now on hold, as the 24-year old Apple Valley, California resident was crowned the show’s 2021 victor.
“Your world is about to change,” judge Katy Perry told the now former forklift driver, who’ll release music via BMG and is Nashville bound.
Beckham was an early favorite in auditions after wowing the judges with a performance of ‘What Brings Life Also Kills” by Kolton Moore and the Clever Few, prompting Perry to remark he sounded like “the heart of America.”
Throughout the competition, Bryan repeatedly emphasized how “cool” Beckham was on stage, at one point going so far...

Mickey Guyton will be there to represent as she co-hosts Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards show — not least of all, represent her own long-deserving career reach the next level on the big stage, but also to front what she promises will be a more conscientiously diverse lineup than some viewers might expect.
“Representation matters so much to me, because the country music genre is such a beautiful genre,” Guyton said in a break from rehearsals for the telecast. “The people in the community are so inclusive, and it’s time that the award shows show that.”
Although her co-host, Keith Urban, might seem far more ingrained within the country music establishment than she is, she thinks even he stands as a symbol of progress, if you think back far enough to a time when he would not necessarily have been thought of as a genre shoo-in.

About a week after he watched footage of George Floyd’s death, seasoned Chicago bluesman Dave Specter did something he’d never done before — he wrote a topical song. “It was such a strange time,” he recalls. “Things were in a very dark place. The music business was shut down, and it was hard to get inspired. But I was struck by that video and I was reading about George Floyd, and I started writing about it. It was all-new territory for me.”

“Music’s Biggest Night,” as the Grammy Awards are known, went off without a hitch on Sunday night (March 14). Hosted by Trevor Noah, and produced by a new team led by “James Corden” executive producer Ben Winston, there was an expectation of a more innovative approach and look to an awards show, and the Grammys did not disappoint. Featuring an indoor in-the-round set-up, not unlike Jools Holland’s in the U.K., artists were able to watch each other as they performed — which, considering the lack of live music for the last year, was a rare luxury afforded to the few and mighty. In addition, elaborate pre-taped performances allowed for the spectacle one would want from a music show.

Harry Styles kicked off the live-performance-loaded Grammy Awards on Sunday with his hit “Watermelon Sugar,” which turned out to be a harbinger when later in the night the former One Direction singer won Best Pop Solo Performance for the song.
It kicked off a Grammy night on CBS that featured several back-to-back-to-back performances that led in and out of the handing out of awards, including from all of the Record of the Year nominees. The format included several artists waiting for their turn hanging hear the stage to bob their heads along to the music.
The highlight of the night might have been Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performing their normally Nsfw song “Wap” live for the first time, complete with a stripper pole and an oversize bed on which the two definitely did not observe social distancing protocols.

Her groundbreaking ballad "Black Like Me," inspired by the 2018 murder of Botham Jean and released amid last summer's Black Lives Matter protests, is nominated at tonight's 2021 Grammys.

Guyton is enjoying a high profile on CBS this season. The network also has her slotted for a performance slot on this Sunday’s Grammy Awards. She’s up for a Grammy for best country solo performance for “Black Like Me,” the timely song she’ll be singing on the telecast.

The presumed dead-and-buried practice of racial passing by light-skinned blacks in the United States decades ago is returned to center-stage in Passing, a delicate, sensitive, intentionally claustrophobic and not entirely limber directorial debut from the protean British stage performer Rebecca Hall. Based on the recently resurrected 1929 novel by Nella Larsen, which was a modest success in its time, the film is indisputably intriguing for its look at a very particular convention about which younger generations know very little. But the adaptation is also rather arch and aridly decorous, with a well-rehearsed rather than spontaneous feel that sometimes weighs things down. Still, this is something very different from the usual fare both in cinemas and on the tube and, given the subject matter, it will attract the intellectually curious and culturally informed.

However, looking at past category winners, the biggest hit doesn’t really win that often. More often, this category goes to passion picks, like...

Mickey Guyton is getting the recognition she deserves with her first Grammy nomination. On Tuesday, the country singer was nominated for best country solo performance for her hit song "Black Like Me." With the much-deserved nomination, Guyton also makes history as the first Black female solo artist to earn a Grammy nomination in a country category. Guyton previously made history in September when she became the first Black woman to ever perform at the ACM Awards.
"I am speechless," Guyton said of her Grammy nomination. "This nomination is a testament to never give up and live your truth. I can't think of a better song to make history with than 'Black Like Me' and I hope that I can continue to help open doors for other women and people who look like me." The song, which was released in June, reflects on the...

For once, the country music patriarchy is riding shotgun.
Country may be renowned as a genre where the women do not always get a fair shake, but you would not guess that from how the nominations for the 2021 Grammys shook out. Female solo artists or bands with women as primary lead singers accounted for all five of the nominations in the best country album category. Moreover, female-fronted material was awarded four out of five slots in two other categories, best country song and best country solo performance. That 80-to-100% imbalance is, of course, pretty much the exact inverse of what a fan of the music will hear on the airwaves.
If the Grammys were making a statement, the Recording Academy wasn’t just making it in country. There was a similar readjusting of the scales happening in some of the rock categories. For best rock performance, all six nominees are...

Ingrid Andress and Miranda Lambert lead all country music artists at the 2021 Grammy Awards with three nominations each. Andress earned nominations in the Best Country Album and Best Country Song categories, as well as an all-genre nomination for Best New Artist. Lambert’s three noms include Country Album, Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance.
Andress, a Colorado-raised songwriter, garners her country nominations on the strength of her debut single “More Hearts Than Mine” and her subsequent debut album, Lady Like. In May, the LP became the highest streamed country debut album by a woman.

Several episodes of Adult Swim series have been “permanently retired due to cultural sensitivities,” according to the network, including those from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “The Boondocks.”
The Daily Beast, which first reported the news, noted that Reddit users had pointed out “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” episode “Shake Like Me” and “The Boondocks” episode “The Story of Jimmy Rebel” could not be found — or were only briefly found — on HBO Max, the streaming service launched by WarnerMedia in the spring. In “Shake Like Me,” a reference to the John Howard Griffin book “Black Like Me,” Shake “learns what it’s like to be a stereotype” after being bitten by a radioactive Black man, according to the IMDb description of the episode. In the site’s description of “The Story of Jimmy Rebel,” Ruckus “finds his musical soul mate in famed racist country-western singer Jimmy Rebel.”

Adult Swim has “permanently retired” an episode of “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and an episode of “The Boondocks,” making them unavailable for streaming on the Adult Swim site and WarnerMedia’s HBO Max, “due to cultural sensitivities,” a representative for the cable channel told TheWrap Tuesday.
“The Boondocks” installment in question is Season 3’s “The Story of Jimmy Rebel,” which focuses on Uncle Ruckus’ relationship with a country singer whose albums have titles like “Real N****** Never Die, They Just Smell That Way.”
The “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” episode that was removed is Season 6’s “Shake Like Me,” which is titled in reference to John Howard Griffin’s “Black Like Me,” and sees Shake become “stereotypically” Black in his behavior and physical appearance after being bitten by a Black man infected with toxic waste.

It’s one thing to be a “woman in country,” and another to be a female artist writing powerfully and emotionally about women in the country… the whole country. That’s what Mickey Guyton does in “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?,” a stark but soaring ballad that is country music’s song of the year, whether any awards ever acknowledge it as such or not.
Guyton’s song was released too recently to be eligible for this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards. The ACMs’ producers were determined to find a slot on the telecast anyway for what has up till this point in the year been a cult or niche song at best, figuring that it would provide a compelling television moment regardless of the song’s unfamiliarity, and maybe even Guyton’s, to the vast majority of viewers. As much as showcasing a gut-punch song, the...

Mickey Guyton is breaking through. Following a string of impressively and achingly intimate singles that included "What Are You Gonna Tell Her?" and "Black Like Me," the country singer has returned to the scene with Bridges, her first EP in five years. The six-song collection, all co-written by the artist herself, more than lives up to the songs that preceded it. Quiet in some places, yet forceful in others, and all centered on her expressive and practically crystalline vocals, Bridges is the perfect reintroduction to the sole Black woman signed to a major country label. "This EP proves that in your darkest moments, you can have your biggest breakthroughs," Guyton said in a press release when...

Mickey Guyton will release her third EP for Capitol Nashville on September 11th. Titled Bridges, the project features six tracks, including the gender-discrimination ballad “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” and her personal tale of racial inequality, “Black Like Me.”

Mickey Guyton sends out a prayer for healing to a troubled world in “Heaven Down Here,” her third new song to come out in 2020. “Heaven Down Here” follows closely on the heels of Guyton’s current single, “Black Like Me.”
Phrased like a conversation with a higher power, “Heaven Down Here” — which Guyton penned with Gordie Sampson, Josh Kear, and Hillary Lindsey — has the singer openly expressing her concerns. “I’m just so disappointed in the way this world is coming unglued,” she admits. Amid a steady pulse of bass guitar and rumbling piano notes,...

It’s been a long decade for Mickey Guyton, but nothing has ever felt quite as long as the past two weeks. As one of very few black voices in mainstream country music, Guyton has spent the days following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis carrying an unthinkable burden as she leads a larger conversation about widespread racism in the genre.
“It’s been heavy, it really, really has,” Guyton says of the past week. “But it’s been heavy for a long time.”

Mickey Guyton has released “Black Like Me,” an intimate new piano ballad that chronicles her journey of navigating American life, and the country music industry, as a black woman.
Guyton co-wrote the song with co-producer Nathan Chapman, Emma Davidson-Dillon, and Fraser Churchill. The song’s plaintive chorus puts a fine point on racial inequality in the United States: “It’s a hard life on easy street/just white painted picket fences far as you can see,” Guyton sings. “If you think we live in the land of the free/you...

Minneapolis erupted in protests this week over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed in police custody on May 25th.
After video circulated of Officer Derek Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground by pressing his knee into his neck for several minutes, the Mpd fired Chauvin and the three other officers involved, but protesters called for all four to be arrested and charged with murder. The tension over the incident escalated into clashes between civilians and Minneapolis police on city streets; on Thursday night, protestors...

As a musical it’s excellent — fine tunes and lyrics, great singing and dancing by the ever-youthful Fred Astaire, the glorious songbird Petula Clark, and the impishly weird Tommy Steele cast appropriately as a grimacing Leprechaun. The update of what was a politically acute Broadway hit in 1947 is awkward but the show is a melodious pleasure — great color, fine voices and peppy direction by Francis Ford Coppola on his first big studio feature.

Back in the days of “I am Curious Black,” a 1970 Lois Lane story about Lois using a machine to become a black woman; she does so to see what it was like to be black.
Back then the good folks at DC did not think twice about a black artist or writer. Now, if a story with a black character comes down the pipe, the net is in an uproar if black creators are not involved.
Me? I say the white boys have at it. A good story, like a good character, is colorblind. Trying or even wanting to ban white people from writing black characters is as horribly short sided, stupid, and as prejudiced as banning Muslims from America.
A white writer telling a story featuring a black character is one thing. Telling a story where they try and define the black experience on some level is quite another.

What was allowed in 1986 is cringeworthy today
Two movies I loved as a child celebrated their 30th anniversaries recently, and when I looked back upon them nostalgically, as one does, I saw products of their time that mostly hold up — save for one horribly dated, unforgivable element each. The kind of offense that makes it hard to still appreciate the movie when that one inexcusable part dominates your mind.
Both “Crocodile” Dundee and Short Circuit have decent scripts. The former was even nominated for an Oscar. The latter remains quotable. Their main characters are major figures of 1980s pop culture. Not on the level of Arnold Schwarzenegger and E.T., but higher up than Yakov Smirnoff and The Noid. But I can no longer enjoy these movies. Not as they are, anyway.
Their respective crimes are things that shouldn’t have even been tolerated at the time. In Dundee it’s a scene where Paul Hogan’s titular...
