Once because her husband was ill and she wouldn't leave and a second time because she wouldn't travel during the worst of the pandemic. She's suggested she may turn it down a third time:
Quote:She said she had already heard from the Biden administration: "Now I feel like if I take it, it'll be doing politics, so I'm not so sure."
The singer added that she does not feel like she deserves the award. "But it's a nice compliment for people to think I might deserve it," she added.
Does this woman's awesomeness know no bounds??
