As any Beyhive member/resident of planet Earth knows, Beyoncé doesn't just show up at awards shows. She takes them over. It seems like longtime CMA watchers aren't entirely prepared for a night of her majesty:

So you're trying to tell me Beyoncé is going to preform at the CMAs and Shania Twain isn't

Bey has quite the country-music résumé: "Daddy Lessons" basically reinvented country music and Bey is proud of her Texas heritage. According to one of her Lemonade collaborators, "Sorry" was even supposed to feature a Dolly Parton reference. When you think about it, showing up at the CMAs really isn't that much of a stretch. No matter the anti-Bey chatter, plenty of Lemonade fans are penciling in a few minutes to catch the singer at the CMAs.
