Jackson has not formally addressed the matter, but it seems from his previous remarks that he favors traditional country music above genre crosses.
He has already expressed worries about how country music has changed, saying it has strayed too far from its historical foundations.
In the meanwhile, opinions on Beyoncé’s entry into the country music scene have been divided. Some contend that country music should remain faithful to its original form, while others applaud her attempts to diversify the genre.
Fans are still debating whether Jackson’s silent departure was a sign of personal disapproval or just a question of taste in music.
