In an interview, Sarah Trahern, the chief executive of the Country Music Association, acknowledged the strong reactions on both sides but denied that any nefarious deleting had taken place. The initial promotional clip teasing Beyoncé’s performance was removed on Wednesday, before the performance, at the request of the singer, she said.
Quote:
“Beyoncé’s team hadn’t approved that, so we pulled it down,” Ms. Trahern said of the teaser. “Fans can get kind of passionate and read other things into it. As for the minimal after-the-fact documentation of the suddenly controversial performance on the show’s social media channels, Ms. Trahern said that Beyoncé, who is known to be vigilant about her image, provided her own photographer — pictures are available at Beyonce.com and that the singer’s team had only approved one
llol so it was beyonce's team the one who asked to remove everything you all need to chill
Yikes. Your thread title is a bit misleading, though. The only thing she says they were told to remove is the promo on Twitter which happened before she even performed.

she is literally saying that they can't post pictures or videos that are not approved by her team
her team asked that they remove the teaser clip posted prior to the performance. nowhere did they ask them to remove all tweets and mentions of her name. you tried, though
It says the initial promotional clip before the actual performance. Which would make sense in ruining the surprise performance. This questionable excuse doesn't explain the extensive scrubbing of anything relating to the duet performance. Not them trying to weasel their way out, by blaming Beyoncé's team. We don't believe you CMA, you need more people.
