That performance was AMAZING!!!! First time I watched the CMAs and the last. Lol

[@glowingbutterfly7375]

Angie Robinson Same here.

[@kwoylee5617]

Same.

[@jessicamay6959]

We loved the fact that Beyonce sang on the country music Awards.

[@JoleneDaviesITKWJ]

Agreed. It was one of the best live song collaborations I've ever seen.

[@MartinHCollection]

I love country music but country music industry is really disgusting!

[@Shay_TheUnpopularOpinion_]

I like this woman!! She’s definitely down for the a greater cause 💕

[@MichaelGrayson]

She’s talking about listening to Lemonade every day and I’m over here listening to Gaslighter every day 😍

[@dawnrobbins5877]

Natalie is a superstar in every way. Honest, intelligent, beautiful, kind, personality-plus!

[@LuanaJantz]

She is right to defend her friend.

[@rileydawnofficial4335]

I’ve ALWAYS loved the Dixie chicks but THIS 🥲❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@shankapa3182]

FUCKING Q U E E N

[@arthurfleck816]

I love this woman & The Chicks!

[@Beardyvlogger]

Holy fn sh1t i did not know that happened. Disgusting.

[@OaktownPirate510]

As someone who started listening to the show as a high school student in the ‘80s, I am very much here for late-stage post-therapy Howard. I feel like it has distilled all his best traits, then let them age in a barrel for a while like good whiskey that we now get to enjoy. Everybody stay safe. 💜

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Pirate B He listeners to people more now, he’s more interested & less limited by the things he doesn’t like and in turn more inspired by the things he does.

[@theridz1981]

Yeah. I can’t be mad at him for changing. On a personal level Howard has probably matured and has had a complete perspective makeover. If he tried to be the old Howard right now it’d probably sound like he’s doing a bad imitation of himself. But..... damn do I miss the old edgy humor. I miss the old shows.

[@The_A_Cast]

I love Natalie! Her voice reminds me so much of Mika Kunis!

[@robertk2007]

Maines is just good people

[@angprt2]

I wonder will Howard Stern ever have Beyonce on his show. I would love that. He could get so much out of her.

[@kentexican5844]

Forgive me for not being so caught up in Beyonce and not being as enamored as a lot of people by her talent. That said, I thought Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks did an outstanding performance at the CMAs and if things went down as Ms Maines describes, shame on the power structure ... Like Brando said in the final season On The Waterfront to mob boss Johnny Friendly (AKA, The CMAs and a lot of businesses); "Your guts is all in your wallet!"

[@robincarter6474]

I love her so much 💋

[@jeaninem6868]

LOVE HER

[@cartercook3654]

Hey

[@sarahbm326]

Alguém traduz pra mim por favor

[@andyc.5451]

We need to hear from The Great JDini!

[@ambiencewindows1074]

Howard stern is the best. 👏🏽

[@claricetat1578]

Some people are just so well ‘educated’ lol

[@debrah.4065]

I think howard asking natalie if she was nervous to be performing with Beyonce is a little bit insulting. Natalie Maines has been around a lot longer than Beyonce! If anyone should be nervous it should be Beyonce performing with Natalie.

[@debo1937]

Natalie should not have to put up with racism. America should see past her skin color.

[@brendanwatson7593]

I like Beyonce and all , but why does everyone talk about her like she's God lmfao ? Something fishy here

[@qll8840]

There is nothing wrong with giving someone a compliment and respecting their craft. I find it odd that you think being complementary to someone is “fishy” I guess you’ve never been complemented 😩

[@tiarafairley5983]

Because it was Beyonce performance, the dixie chicks were her features, they were black balled in music industry , she brought them out to sing her song

Waaahhhhhh, we’re millionaires and we were called names online, waaahhhh!!!

[@bigrobbo7874]

If people didn't like it, they had a right to voice their opinions.

[@Isabella-wm3th]

No one is saying they cant dislike, she talked about racist and sexist comments. That is just way too far than just expressing an opinion.

[@prestons4988]

So being racist is totally fine now? Great. So since I don't like your face I can pull a gun on you right? That's voicing my opinion right? Racist asshole.

[@kyleroberts8823]

It was racially motivated, though.

[@jilliandoyle7307]

Having a problem with a performance because the singer is black is not an “opinion” that’s racism.

[@valentino4411]

What they "didn't like" was a black woman having the nerve to cross into their "exclusive" white club known as country music genre, which by the way was derived from blues music that blacks created years before. Some whites have no problems when white artists cross into RnB, Hip Hop, Rap, or Gospel but the moment a black artist shows interest in crossing into country music you can be sure that that black artist will receive a lot of hate from racist. I've always found that blacks are more welcoming and embracing to white artist crossing into a traditionally black dominated music genre than the other way around. The main requirement for blacks is that the "crossing over" into the predominantly black music genres is authentic. Besties Boys, Eminem, Jon B., Robin Thicke crossed into a black dominated music genre but how many blacks can you name crossed into the country music genre? It's not because blacks don't like country music, it's because country music has been long associated with Southern US states which has always had a problem with blacks and other people of color generally speaking.

[@kit-katnews9137]

I think it's they themselves that love controversy, they seem to like to stir up shit where it's not.

[@countingcrows123]

Lol how is performing with Beyonce stirring anything up?

[@roochuckyroo]

WHO THE HELL IS BEYONCE ?

[@vizio6017]

A global megastar, and icon who started out in the mid 90's as the lead singer in a group called Destiny's Child.

[@anduin1]

Lemonade is not even that great of an album. But something about it resonates with women in a way that I don’t understand
