This Country Star Wasn't Impressed With Beyoncé's CMAs Performance

Carly Ledbetter

Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks’ stirring performance of “Daddy Lessons” was clearly one of the highlights at the CMA Awards Wednesday night.

While most in the audience ― including a chest-slapping Matthew McConaughey ― were clearly having a good time during the performance, one country star was not: Kenny Chesney.

To be fair, Chesney was set to be honored with the Pinnacle Award following the set. And as we all know, no one should ever follow Beyoncé (especially when she’s paired with the Dixie Chicks).

Check out the rest of Bey’s CMAs slayage below:
