If you believe everything you see on social media (which you shouldnât), youâd think Kacey Musgraves was less than thrilled by the Best Country Album winner at the 67th GRAMMY Awards. Of course, as most gossip online, itâs safe to say thatâs mostly nonsense. Still, that hasnât stopped fans from adding their two cents.
During Sundayâs ceremony, Taylor Swift came to the stage to present the annual award.
Musgraves was up for the honor for her album, Deeper Well. She was competing against four other nominees: Post Maloneâs F-1 Trillion, Chris Stapletonâs Higher, Lainey Wilsonâs Whirlwind, and BeyoncĂ©âs Cowboy Carter.
When Swift announced the latter artist as the winner, Beyoncé, who some believe has been snubbed by the country community since her transition to the genre, was plainly shocked by the news.
As BeyoncĂ©âs husband, JAY-Z, and daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, celebrated her win and encouraged her to head up to the stage, the cameras flashed to several of the losers in the category.
While those shown were all standing and clapping for BeyoncĂ©, Musgravesâ reaction made waves on social media for looking displeased by the outcome.
âkacey musgraves is looking pissed after losing to beyonce icl it tickled me a lil,â one person tweeted, while another remarked, âIs Kacey Musgraves mad that BeyoncĂ© won? She sure looks it.â
Some users came to Musgravesâ defense, saying she deserved the award over BeyoncĂ©.

After BeyoncĂ©âs GRAMMYs acceptance speech, during which she declared that âgenre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists,â the camera once again turned to a still stone-faced Musgraves.
Musgraves has previously spoken out in support of BeyoncĂ©âs move to country music.
âThe more the f**king merrier,â she told The Cut. âI donât really care. It doesnât affect what Iâm doing. It doesnât affect me. Iâve always been just doing my own thing. Itâs just fun to watch.â
