Beyoncé Going Country Stirs Controversy

Beyoncé is going country -- a move that has sparked a lot of conversation in the country music world.

The 32-time Grammy winner and Texas native dropped two new country-themed songs Sunday night during the Super Bowl -- "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" -- while announcing a new album, "Act II."

On Monday, controversy was stirred up when a Beyoncé fan shared on social media that KYKC - 100.1 FM based in Ada, Oklahoma, had replied to their request to play Beyoncé's new music that they don't play her on their country station.

Roger Harris, general manager for Chickasaw Nation-Radio Stations (S.C.O.R.E.), which owns and operates KYKC, told "Good Morning America" in an email that he wishes they would have elaborated and told the fan that they play Beyoncé on two of their other stations.

"Truth be told, we had no idea that she was releasing country music," Harris said, adding that "on top of that, we didn't even have the song ... we are just a small station that isn't serviced by the big record labels" and that they "really do love Beyoncé."

Harris said the station received "literally thousands of emails and non-stop phone calls" for them to play Beyoncé's new music and, after getting their hands on the song, estimated they've played the song seven or eight times this week, which he says "is a little higher than normal."

Harris added that there has "been some backlash" from some of the station's more "traditional" country music listeners "who don't think the song deserves airplay."
