When Beyoncé performed at the 2016 CMA Awards, she faced an onslaught of racist backlash online.

But a new documentary reveals that the music superstar was also the target of vitriol inside the very arena where she debuted her twangy “Daddy Lessons” remix with the Chicks.

“An audience member in front of me proceeds to say, ‘Get that black bitch off the stage right now,’” attendee Tanner Davenport recalls in CNN’s “Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance.”

“I remember instantly kind of being taken back to reality in that moment — to realize that there’s, like, a threat of black people being in this genre for some reason,” adds the co-director of the Black Opry, a website that raises awareness for black country artists.
