At the AMAs, a wide range of musical genres is celebrated across a variety of categories.

This year, several country music artists earned nominations, some even receiving multiple nods throughout the night.

The awards featured country artists in both genre-specific and general categories.

The most nominated country artist of the night was Post Malone, who made his debut in the genre last year with his album F-1 Trillion.

He was also the second most-nominated artist overall, earning eight nominations in total.

Breakout artist Shaboozey wasn’t far behind, earning seven total nominations during the night, including Favorite Male Country Artist and Favorite Country album.

Other superstars also made a strong showing, such as Morgan Wallen who received six nominations, Zach Bryan who followed with five, and both Beyoncé and Jelly Roll earned three each, all in country-specific categories.

Favorite Duo or Group was the only country-specific category that was announced during the broadcast. The rest were just posted on their website. In fact, only seven awards were given out during the broadcast, with three winners not being present to accept their award.

Fans were quick to point out that she did not win her all-genre category, just her two country music nominations. See some of the public’s social media reactions below.

“Well that award was definitely paid for by her husband”

“She got one thing right…this ain’t Texas”

“Absolute joke!!! Lainey and Ella run circles around her!”

“She ain’t country!”

“They should show proof of this win, because that’s a joke! Favorite country, when 99% of country fans won’t listen to her”

“Funny , I have not met anyone who says they even like a song , much less the whole album..”

“What fans? Not any country fans.”
