She thought she’d call herself “country” and clean up. She was wrong.

“We canceled shows in 34 states, which includes almost the entire southeast, the midwest, and a good portion of the heartland. Ms. Knowles-Carter is devastated.”

Maybe she should have stayed in her lane.

Not even her husband’s payola could kick-start this tour. “She’s not getting any ticket sales because she’s not country,” said Ted Nugent, even though nobody asked him, “You can’t just put on a hat and claim to be something you’re not.”

That seems ironic from Uncle Poopypants, who literally puts on a hat and shows up at the CMAs with Kid Rock, another country star just like him.

Sheryl Crow and the guy who played banjo on “Cat Scratch Fever” weren’t available for comment.
