TL;DR Summary

After initially refusing to play Beyoncé's new country single "Texas Hold 'Em," an Oklahoma-based radio station has now started playing the song following a backlash from fans. The station's decision sparked criticism from the "Beyhive," prompting them to make additional requests for the song. The station later explained that they didn't have access to the song initially and cited the need for it to chart higher before adding it. This incident echoes a similar backlash in 2019 when Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" was initially removed from the country chart despite its popularity.
