Texas hold up! Beyoncé announces ‘Cowboy Carter’ album — but will she ride with Dolly?
NY Post
Beyoncé rides again.
On Tuesday, the hottest cowgirl in the game announced that “Cowboy Carter” would be the title of the country-themed “Act II” of her “Renaissance” trilogy — in a nod to her married name as the wife of Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter.
Anticipation has been building to Country Bey’s album-length arrival after she dropped the twangy twosome of “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages” on Super Bowl night Feb. 11.
Since then, “Texas Hold ’Em” — a bluegrassy bop that has sparked many a two-stepping TikTok — made Beyoncé the first black woman to hit No. 1 on the country chart.
And then, for good measure, Queen B went on to become the first African-American woman to top the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart with a country song.
Beyoncé, 42, made her announcement with a social media post featuring a pic of a red, white and blue sash emblazoned with the album title draped over a saddle.
