Beyoncé recently announced the title of her upcoming country album, Act II: Cowboy Carter, set to release on March 29. The pop superstar teased the album during the Super Bowl and confirmed it with the release of two roots-inspired songs, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” The songs, featuring artwork of Beyoncé in cowboy attire, led to her making history by reaching No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
The highly anticipated album, Cowboy Carter, has fans speculating about a possible cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, shared her support for the project, highlighting the family’s connection to cowboy culture in Texas. The album’s artistic direction seems to be a natural progression for Beyoncé, integrating elements of Black cowboy culture into her music and fashion.
