Chris Stapleton's CMA Awards 2024 sweep leaves Shaboozey fans crying foul

Chris Stapleton's victory at the 58th CMA Awards has left some fans losing faith in the credibility of the ceremony

Chris Stapleton wins big at the 58th annual Country Music Association Awards. The Tennessee-based singer and songwriter bagged the Single of the Year Award for his hit single 'White Horse', which was released on his 2023 album 'Higher'. It also earned him the 'Song of the Year' award at the biggest event for country music.

However, his victory has attracted more criticism than praise, especially from Shaboozey fans, who have expressed frustration as ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ artist lost every CMA Award he was nominated for. 

Chris Stapleton's victory at 58th CMA Awards leaves Shaboozey up in arms 

As soon as Stapleton won 'Single of the Year', defeating Post Malone, Cody Johnson, Shaboozey, and Lainey Wilson, fans rushed to social media to express their frustration. An angry fan tweeted, "Me annoyed Chris Stapleton is winning all of the CMA awards again this year." Another added, "Are we surprised that Shaboozey didn’t win any of the awards. I was expecting that to happen cause CMA is full of shits!"

Frustrated by the event ceremony, one wrote, "Shaboozey lost every CMA award he was nominated for. They played in his face, but I’m not surprised. This is why Beyoncé didn’t pay them any mind after they mistreated her, too." Another angry fan added, "Shaboozey was snubbed by the CMA’s. There is no way after the year he has he he gets nothing." "I love chris stapleton but i need him to stop winning every damn award . there are other successful artists," reads another negative comment on Stapleton's victory.
