Word has it that pop superstar, Beyoncé, will be opening the CMA’s tonight alongside The Dixie Chicks, and this has ruffled the feathers of a many country music enthusiasts. It’s funny how she is opening the show with the Dixie Chicks, considering the group caused quite a stir over a decade ago when they publicized their disdain for then president, George W. Bush.

You already know some country music fans are in an uproar over Queen Bae’s addition to the show.

See some of the mean tweets below:
