Beyonc performed at the CMA’s Wednesday night and a lot of country fans were not here for it. Upset CMA fans took it upon themselves to make racial comments regarding Bey’s performance with the Dixie Chicks all over the productions social media.
Unike posts they made for other performances and highlights of the show, Beyonc fans realized that there was no trace or mention of Beyonc or her performance on any of the CMA’s social media outlets, and therefore assumed they were deleted as a way to stop the racist comments.

According to the CMA, nothing was deleted, and it was Beyonc’s request for them to remove a 5 second promo clip prior to the start of the show. They said the following in a statement to People:
