In April 2016, Beyoncé presented the world with “Lemonade”, an album that featured, for the first time, the artist singing a country track in “Daddy Lessons”. In the same year, the singer performed at the 2016 Country Music Association Awards alongside The Chicks. The presentation, however, received criticism before it even began. After all, when it was announced, part of the public criticized Beyoncé's choice. At the time, the singer had been widely criticized by American white supremacists since her participation in the Super Bowl, where she paid tribute to the Black Panther movement.
On the other hand, the singer's invitation to The Chicks also did not please the country music industry. After all, the group harshly criticized, in 2003, George W. Bush's handling of the Iraq War. Therefore, the presentation ended up becoming even more controversial. Even with all the negative background, Beyoncé decided to join the group for a performance with “Daddy Lessons”. The singer then faced problems with the sound, which left the sound of her microphone low, and also some dissatisfied expressions in the audience. If that wasn't enough, the performance didn't even receive a mention on the awards website.
