Yet another country artist has revealed that he's been snubbed by the CMAs.
As we reported when it happened, there's been a lot of hubbub over artists being told they can't walk on the red carpet at this year's awards - despite the fact that they were previously explicitly asked to.
One of those musicians was Sammy Kershaw. "I have to share my disappointment with the CMA as they have denied my request to walk the red carpet for a few minutes at this year's CMA Awards, and I have to say I'm pretty sad about it," he wrote in a post lambasting the event.
He went on to reveal that these sorts of events take a lot of planning - and that this cancellation stung a lot. "Then, to find out I was denied the red carpet two weeks before the show, after being strung along for several months and expecting we would be attending, WTF?"
But it turns out that he wasn't the only one to be snubbed.

Another Country Star Got Snubbed From the CMAs
Another country star has taken to social media to announce that he's been snubbed by the CMAs, per Country Chord. And it's one that stings too - because he was right there last year, front and center.
He began by thanking his fans who "made this career possible". He also noted that he's "having the best touring year" of his career.
But then, he took aim at the event. "After more than 20 years as a CMA member and countless CMA Fests I've played for free, Rose and I were denied red-carpet clearance, just like Sammy Kershaw," he announced.
"So we've decided not to attend this year's CMA Awards," he explained. Pretty fair, right? He also used this announcement to make a stand for "the artists who helped build the foundation of country music."
"Country music should never get above its raisin'," he concluded his post. Pretty crazy stuff, right?
And he's not the only one who's upset, either. This comes after other artists like Mark Chesnutt leaped to Sammy's defense on this whole thing.
