Beyonce's Canadian 'Cowboy Carter' collaborators on landing their dream Grammy nods
CTV
Many Canadians emerged as major contenders at the Grammy Awards, among them those who worked on Beyonce's country-pop smash "Cowboy Carter."
While they knew Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" album would probably land them in the Grammys race this year, two Canadian musicians say they were still stunned when those dreams actually came true.
The superstar and her country-pop album led the Grammys with 11 nominations and that helped Toronto producer Nathan Ferraro land three of his own, including record of the year.
He shared two of his nods with German-Canadian songwriter Megan Bülow and Calgary-raised Elizabeth Lowell Boland whose work on the track "Texas Hold 'Em" put them in the running for song of the year and best country song.
"I'm feeling a bit numb right now," explained Boland in a call from her Toronto home.
"But I suppose that's probably a defence mechanism trying to protect myself from the small possibility we didn't get nominated."
Frequent collaborators Boland and Ferraro learned of their nominations separately — he was watching a live YouTube feed of the Grammys while she was woken up by her husband with the news.
Both said it was a career turn they never could've prepared for.
