Beyoncé has earned an impressive 12 nominations for the 2024 People’s Choice Awards.
The recognition comes shortly after the release of her most recent album, “Cowboy Carter,” which put her in the top spot at this year’s awards show, alongside country artist Zach Bryan.
The singer, who has three children with rap mogul Jay-Z, was nominated for double female song of the year for her songs “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Beyoncé’s covers of The Beatles’ “Blackbird” and Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” earned her two nominations in the Cover Song category.
The “Crazy In Love” singer’s nominations for Favorite Country Music Star and Popular Artist are among the prestigious categories.
“Texas Hold ‘Em” is in the running for Song of the Year, while “BLACKBIRD” is a contender for Collaboration of the Year.
Miley Cyrus’ duet “II Most Wanted” is competing for Orchestral Song of the Year, and “16 Carriages” is up for Narrative Song of the Year.
Despite fierce opposition to her attempt at country music, Beyoncé found success in this new musical field.

According to a source who shared details with the Daily Mail, the “Single Ladies” hitmaker is determined to show the impact of African-American contributions to the music industry, despite all the criticism directed at her.
The source added, “[Beyoncé] She knew there would be opposition from those who wanted her to stay on the narrow path, but she didn’t care.”
“In fact, it makes her bolder. By the time the summer is over, her critics will know the difference between a ‘yee’ and a ‘haw.’
