Kacey Musgraves slammed on social media for not standing for Reba McEntire's ACM awards performance
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Kacey Musgraves faced backlash on social media after she didn't stand during Reba McEntire's ACM awards performance Sunday evening.
McEntire, who also hosted the show for the 16th time, took the stage to sing her newest hit, "Freedom," and while the majority of the audience stood on their feet for the country star's performance, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Musgrave, 30, did not.
"Seriously...what the hell is wrong with Kacey Musgraves. Reba’s performing and she acts like she’s watching someone pick up their dry cleaning. Have a little respect...at least for someone who paved the way for you," one Twitter user wrote.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Kacey Musgraves sat down during Reba’s performance so I sat down and had no emotion when she won Album of the Year," one person said.
"@ACMawards NO MAAM! Kacey Musgraves! Album of the year..... I’m so disappointed! And the SHADE she gave to @reba when she was performing- OH HELL NO!" wrote another viewer.
During her opening monologue, McEntire mentioned Musgraves' multiple Grammy wins for her album "Golden Hour," noting the lack of women in this year's ACMs' entertainer of the year category, which Keith Urban ultimately won.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"It froze us women out of entertainer of the year," McEntire said, pointing out that it snowed in Las Vegas in recent weeks.
She continued: "But you know what that didn't bother Kacey Musgraves because she's been too busy carrying all her Grammys around."
