The Country Music Awards‘ website and social media accounts have scrubbed all reference to Beyonce and Dixie Chicks on the heels of their CMA performance last night.
Beyonce performed her song, “Daddy Lessons,” with the Chicks, but by Thursday morning, they were poof, deleted from CMAWorld website as well as their social media.

Sources directly connected with the CMAs tell TMZ, the honchos folded to fans who posted racist and other harsh comments. We’re told the honchos were especially concerned about the reaction to Beyonce’s support and the support of the Dixie Chicks for the Black Lives Matter movement. Some of the comments included, “That’s right folks. Beyonce performed at the CMAs last night & is on a mission to take country music away from us, hardworking white people!” And, “Beyonce overrated racist n***er bitch.” The comments go on … “@Beyonce the cop hater? No thanks,” and, “What place does @Beyonce who vilifies police officers who keep us safe have to do with #CMAawards50?”
In addition to its website, the CMAs have scrubbed the women from all social media platforms. They did not delete the women from Snapchat … they only deleted the ladies from CMA accounts where users can place comments. h/t tmz
TMZ says the CMA people told them they “just want this to go away.”
