John Schneider slams Beyoncé’s new country song and compares her to ‘a urinating dog’
John Schneider criticized Beyoncé’s venture into country music, likening it to a dog marking territory. In an interview on One America News Network, Schneider mocked Beyoncé’s song “Texas Hold ’Em,” which stirred controversy when an Oklahoma country radio station refused to play it. Host Alison Steinberg noted the evolution of country music with crossover acts like Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood, prompting criticism from Schneider about pop artists entering the genre.
“They’ve got to make their mark, just like a dog in a dog walk park,” Schneider quipped. He emphasized the complexity of country music, contrasting Beyoncé’s entry with artists like Twain who transitioned from within the genre. Despite Schneider’s disdain, “Texas Hold ’Em” debuted on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, marking Beyoncé’s first appearance in country music. While Schneider may not be a fan, Beyoncé’s crossover into the genre has garnered attention beyond traditional country circles.
